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.
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.
