Known as the "Nature Island", Dominica offers many choices when it comes to watersports and scuba diving. Kayak on cool mountain lakes, swim in secluded river pools in the rainforest, river-tube down the river into the calm waters on the West Coast, or snorkel on pristine reefs... there really is something for everyone in Dominica.
For scuba diversthere is a huge choice of dive sites that will amaze even the most experienced divers: dramatic walls and pinnacles, pristine reefs, and amazing creatures are some of the main attractions.
Dominica's fame as the "Whale Watching Capital of the Caribbean" is well deserved and no exaggeration . With 22 species sited in the off-shore waters and a 95% success record on whale watching tours it is a must do activity for visitors. The deep waters close to shore also mean that Dominia are one of the few places in the world providing the opportunity to see the magnificent sperm whale from shore.
Nearly 300 miles of footpaths open up to some of Dominica's most spectacular sceneries and make the island a haven for hikers and nature lovers. In almost every part of the country, trails weave their way into gorges and across valleys, climbing up to 4,000 foot mountains. Just a relaxing fifteen minute stroll to the Trafalgar Falls reveals photographic vistas of a dense rainforest, twin cascades, warm pools, and rushing streams.
