TOP 10 REASONS TO Discover Dominica
Nature Dominica is designated ‘The Nature Island’, where beautifully green landscapes, fascinating wildlife and adventure activities await travellers of all kinds. Home to 365 rivers, misty rainforests, countless waterfalls, hot springs, and one of the largest active boiling lakes in the world!
Hiking & Trekking Dominica is the #1 hiking destination in the Caribbean, with over 300 miles of diverse historic trails to explore spanning the island across mountain tops, waterfalls, rivers, valleys and coastlines. The Waitukubuli National Trial is the longest hiking trail in the Caribbean region (115 miles divided into 14 segments).
Diving & Snorkelling Home to a variety of sea life including octopus, rays, trumpet fish, hawksbill turtles, seahorses, sea snakes, and eels, Dominica is a top dive destination in the world. Snorkelling is like swimming in a champagne glass, named for the bubbling waters rising from volcanic thermal springs on the ocean floor.
Whale Watching Dominica is the only country in the world where the Sperm Whale resides all year long. Just a short boat ride brings you into contact with Sperm Whales up to 70 feet long! Visitors are also likely to see Dolphins showing off their acrobatic skills.
Canyoning Wherever rock meets water, canyoning uses the natural environment as an adventure water park. In Dominica that means venturing into the heart of the rainforest to climb waterfalls, swim through blue pools, hike across riverbeds, rappel down rock faces, and jump over cascades into crystal clear waters.

A Pirates life for me! Dominica is one of the filming locations used in Pirates of the Caribbean 2 & 3: “Dead Man’s Chest” & “At World’s End”. Visitors can embark on a walking tour that takes in many of the same vistas seen in the films, including the Indian River (the movie’s “Pantano River”), “Cannibal Island” in the Valley of Desolation, and “Shipwreck Cove” near Capucin Cape.
