Dominica Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Why visit Dominica—an island without golf courses, luxury resorts, or amazing beaches? Go for the verdant landscape of mountains and rainforests laced with waterfalls and rivers, the rich reefs teeming with fish, and the surrounding sea where sperm whales breach year-round and humpback leviathans surface in the winter. Dubbed the "Nature Island," Dominica delivers eco-adventures in one of the Caribbean's most unspoiled settings. That's why this island works best for families with outdoorsy 'tweens, teens, and twenty-somethings.
