Dominica is located in the Eastern Caribbean. It is known as the Nature Island of the Caribbean due to its many natural attractions such as 365 rivers, waterfalls, freshwater lakes, hot sulphur springs and black sand beaches. Popular activities here include scuba diving & snorkelling (we have two Marine Reserves), whale-watching, sea kayking, and hiking, through rainforests or up challenging mountain trails. Of course there is always time to relax, watch the sunset, sip an exotic tropical drink, or soak in a hot pool.
