Dominica is, undoubtedly, the most verdant and untouched island in all of the Caribbean. Rightly earning its nickname, the Nature Island, Dominica is abounding with natural wonders, including 365 rivers, endless waterfalls, the second largest boiling lake in the world, volcanoes, mountains (known as Mornes), hot springs, and both black and white sand beaches. Much of Dominica is protected under national parks, one of which has been awarded UNESCO World Heritage status. In fact, it is believed that if Christopher Columbus were to return to the Caribbean, Dominica would be the only island he would recognize. Renowned for its eco-tourism, the island is truly a paradise for hikers, divers, birdwatchers, and nature-lovers who seek excitement, inspiration or respite.

Apart from its pristine natural habitat, Dominica is also home to one of the few remaining indigenous Caribbean communities—the Kalinago, the island’s first inhabitants. Approximately 3,000 Kalinago, formerly known as Caribs, remain on the island, preserving and sharing a proud heritage more than 1,000 years in the making.
