Dominica - the Nature Island

Lush vegetation, magnificent mountains, 365 rivers, tropical forests, national parks, steaming valleys, waterfalls, jungle lakes, the world’s second largest boiling lake, whale watching, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site - this is Dominica - unspoilt nature at it’s best for a unique Caribbean holiday.

Located in the Windward Islands in the Southern Caribbean, Dominica is known as the Nature Island and is also home to the last of the Carib Indians who inhabit a 3,700 acres territory or reserve on the eastern coast of the island known as the Carib Territory, which was granted to them in 1903 by the then British Administrator. For centuries the Caribs had resisted European colonisation from initially the Spanish, followed by the French and the British before succumbing to the invaders. It was a case of history repeating itself as the Caribs had taken Dominica from the peaceful Arawak Indians

Dominica’s colonial past is evidenced with itsCreole architecture displaying a unique mix of French, English and Caribbean styles, and several old plantation estates, mills, and military forts are well worth visiting. For your Caribbean holiday, Dominica accommodation is available in guest houses, small inns, eco-tourist resorts, and typical Caribbean villa and hotels. Dominica hotels offer the opportunities of tours including whale watching, hiking, riding through the jungle canopy, scuba diving, kayaking, river tubing, and visiting the national parks.
