Dominica

Discover the captivating allure of Dominica, an Eastern Caribbean gem, reminiscent in size to Manhattan but teeming with natural wonders. Pronounced ‘Dom-in-EEK-a,’ this island is a tapestry of volcanic peaks shrouded in pristine cloud forests and surrounded by vibrant, warm seas boasting flourishing reefs. Dominica’s unique hilly topography served as a natural barrier, impeding the progress of both French and British colonizers. This slowed pace allowed the indigenous Kalinago people and liberated slaves (maroons) to shape the island’s cultural identity.

The result is a warm and inviting Caribbean Creole culture, which, remarkably, has preserved its authenticity by steering clear of mass tourism. Dominica’s untouched beauty, with spectacular trails, dive sites, and hidden waterfall grottos, remains blissfully uncrowded. It’s an invitation to explore the raw, untouched landscapes and immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of a culture that has stood the test of time. Plan your visit soon to witness the unspoiled charm of Dominica before its trails become well-trodden, its dive sites frequented, and its waterfall grottos echo with the sounds of eager travelers
