About Dominica

The most unspoilt and undisturbed island in the Eastern Caribbean, Dominica is inevitably the island paradise everyone only dare dream of. Known as the Nature Island of the Caribbean, Dominica is safe and friendly with an abundance of fresh water, rivers, and fresh locally grown food.

This beautiful island offers the benefits and respite that only a peaceful and slow haven of nature can. The fresh air and a slow pace of life is just two of the things that you immediately benefit from the second you land here.

Surging from the sea, Dominica sits midway along the Eastern Caribbean archipelago, It is one of the youngest islands in the Caribbean, formed by the shift of two tectonic plates and is still evolving in both economy and infrastructure.

Its highest peak reaches more than 500 feet where virgin flora and tropical forest coats two thirds of the island, covering these dramatic mountains creating beautiful verdant landscapes with hundreds of intricate rivers and streams, webbing the island's lush terrain.

The main tourist attraction besides discovering the Islands lush and tranquil surroundings is scuba diving. There are a number of dive sites on the island to amaze even the most experienced divers. The most unusual site being "Champagne" where snorkelers and divers alike can swim through bubbles of volcanic gas that trickle up through the sea floor.

It is on this unique Island that divers and whale watchers come in hordes, to explore the waters that plunge to nearly 6,000 feet, right off the coastline which provides an ideal base for seven types of Whales that can be seen nearly all year-round.
