This lush island is strikingly untouched compared to some other Caribbean Islands. There are a host of wonders waiting to be discovered in this nature-lovers paradise.
Dubbed the ‘Nature Island’ of the Caribbean, breathtaking Dominica is largely covered by thriving tropical rainforests and boasts a wealth of striking rivers, lakes and waterfalls.
Sparsely populated, this haven for eco-tourists is situated south of Guadeloupe and north of Martinique.
Its sensational underwater volcanoes, impressive natural beauty and a fantastic variety of over 1,200 plant species, as well as many rare animal and indigenous bird species, make Dominica popular among scuba-divers, hikers and whale-watchers.
Dominica remains a unique and unspoiled paradise waiting to be explored.
