Resting in the heart of the Eastern Caribbean archipelago between Martinique and Guadeloupe, you find one of the best-kept secrets – the island is a verdant tapestry of lush rainforests, towering mountains, rushing rivers, welcoming waterfalls, and volcanic wonders! Unspoiled and unrivaled! You will be warmly welcomed by smiling and friendly locals who inhabit this wonderful place that officially known as Commonwealth of Dominica – The Nature Island of the Caribbean.
Time in Dominica isn’t a just vacation. It’s a discovery!
A discovery of what Nature — its eternal beauty, its breathtaking vistas, its primal power—can do to nourish your soul, delight your senses, and drown your cares.
Let’s go to explore some of the best spots on the island with us and prepare to fall in love with Dominica!
In this Episode you will be:
– Marveling at the serenity of the Indian River, taking a tour with a knowledgeable local guide;
– Enjoying some poetry of our young Alëna who has written it inspired by unsurpassed natural beauty of Dominica 🇩🇲 ;
– Shivering under the chilly wind in a height of over 2,500 ft above sea level while visiting the Freshwater lake – the largest of Dominica’s 4 lakes and the source of the Roseau River;
– ‘Ti tou’ means ‘little-throat’ in Creole and this gorge was formed by volcanic lava which cooled and split open, leaving this natural cave. Swim right inside to find a gushing waterfall, sparkling with light filtered from the forest canopy above.
– Hiking through a forest of ginger plants and vanilla orchids toward twin Trafalgar Falls is spectacular and pleasant and waterfalls themselves are incredibly impressive!
– Driving along the Atlantic side of Dominica, having enchanted by breathtaking vistas, passing by Calibishie – the main village on the scenic north coast – the home to a dramatic mosaic of steep cliffs, red rocks, and rivers gushing down from the mountains.
– Visiting Carib territory. Dominica has the largest remaining tribe of Carib Indians, also called Kalinago people. It believed that they have originally come from South America and represent the last remaining tribe of the pre-columbian Carib Indians going back to about 3000 B.C. Nestled amid banana and breadfruit trees, the village is a cluster of traditional wooden buildings. You can wander around the village and watch the Carib Indians carving dugout canoes, weaving baskets and mats, and sharing their knowledge of medicinal plants. The Caribs survive through fishing and agriculture as well as the crafts they sell to visitors.
– Taking a Dip in cooling emerald green water of Emerald Pool. Once you leave the developed areas of Roseau, you travel through pristine forests with valleys, streams and waterfalls.
– Stepping back in Dominica’s European past and spending a beautiful time discovering Fort Shirley, part of the Cabrits National Park, which located on a scenic peninsula just north of Portsmouth.
We hope you enjoyed our little journey! This was a brief review, but we would want you not missing a single breathtaking moment in this untouched emerald paradise. There is so many more to see!
