Caribbean tips you can trust

Why
Dominica
is special

It is justifiably nicknamed the "Nature Island of the Caribbean". It's not for the typical tourist. It's for adventure travelers.

Dominica
tips & insights

Why tourism is low keyed

Several factors keep packaged tour groups away:

Runway

It is one of the shortest in the world. Consequently, there are no direct flights from America and Europe.

Pampering resorts

They don't exist on this small island.

Nightlife and fine dining

Again, they are lacking.

Beautiful beaches

Ditto.

What Dominica offers

You're in heaven if you love to involve yourself directly with nature.

Rainforest hiking trails

They take you through the rugged interior mountains of the Morne Trois Pitons National Park. They are covered with lush tropical vegetation. You see stunning Trafalgar Falls, the astonishing Boiling Lake (heated by underground volcanic activity), and other natural surprises. It's like exploring the Lost World.

Diving and snorkeling spots

Dominica has many underwater treats and each is uncrowded.
