Tucked between Guadeloupe and Martinique, Dominica is the Caribbean’s best-kept secret—an island of towering mountains, lush rainforests and steaming volcanic springs. Known as The Nature Island, Dominica offers a raw, untouched beauty that adventurous travelers crave.

Hike through Morne Trois Pitons National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you’ll find the surreal Boiling Lake, Trafalgar Falls and endless jungle trails teeming with birds, orchids and tree frogs. Snorkel through the bubbles at Champagne Reef or dive into the deep blue at Scotts Head, where marine life thrives. For a unique thrill, canyon through Titou Gorge or soak in the hot springs of Wotten Waven. And don’t miss the chance to spot Dominica’s resident sperm whales, the island is one of the few places on Earth where they can be seen year-round.

After a day of exploration, head to the colorful capital of Roseau for some well-earned rest and refreshment. Grab a cocktail or cold Kubuli beer at Ruins Rock Café, set within 200-year-old stone ruins, or enjoy a breezy evening with live music at The Great Old House, a charming restaurant in a restored colonial home. For local flavor, try Kozy’s Niche for Creole cuisine with a modern twist, or Zam Zam for delicious Dominican street food. Up north in Portsmouth, The Champs offers stunning sunset views and a great wine list, while Keepin’ It Real is perfect for casual eats and upscale dining at the beach.

Dominica is a place to visit and to connect to the land, the people and to something more meaningful than just another tropical escape. Come ready to explore and you’ll leave with more than memories.
