Dominica Travel Tips

  • Stand back: Underwater volcanic formations produce amazing valleys, canyons, and bubbling hot springs.
  • Look to the horizon—sperm whales frequent Dominica's waters October to March.
  • Find new friends on Dominica's reefs; seahorses and frogfish make cute underwater companions.
  • Ride an aerial tram into the rainforest canopy.
  • Discover the culture of the Kalinago, or Carib, native people.

Dominica Travel Guide
