While its population is small, Dominica is actually one of the largest islands in the Caribbean. That means that any trip to the island is full of choices for adventure. Here are six great ways to spend a day (or more) on the Nature Island.
Hiking
Dominica is one of the greatest hiking destinations in the region. The only question is, are 115 miles enough for you?
Swimming with whales
It’s not often you get to watch whales in the heart of the Caribbean Sea, but Dominica actually has a year-round sperm whale population.
Snorkeling in champagne
Only in Dominica can you snorkel inside a glass of champagne. Well — not really, but when you’re in the geothermally-heated waters of Champagne Reef, the bubbles will make you feel like you are.
Sightseeing
Dominica is also a great place for good, old-fashioned sight seeing, with one of the best-preserved collections of 18th-century Creole architecture. And downtown Roseau is a great place for a leisurely stroll.
Canyoning
When an island has as many mountains as Dominica does, it’s also sure to have canyons. And canyoning — exploring waterfalls, rappelling down rack faces and traversing cascades is all in a day’s play.
River tubing
Sit back, relax and let the rivers of Dominica do the work.
