The wild and rugged beauty of Dominica makes this small island one of the finest jewels in the Caribbean necklace. More secluded and less developed than many other Caribbean islands, it is aptly called ‘the nature island’, where visitors can really get at one with nature, whether it be awe-inspiring hikes through forested volcanoes, to world-class scuba diving, to soaking in one of the island’s many natural sulphur hot springs and the world’s second largest boiling lake. The island’s passion for its natural habitat is also reflected in a unique collection of very eco-minded hotels and resorts with high regard for sustainability. Hiker’s Highlights - Boiling Lake Boiling Lake is one the most famous places on the island. It was discovered in 1870, and it’s technically a flooded fumarole in a volcanic crater. The lake water takes on different colours depending on the local volcanic activity. The eightmile trail to reach it leads you through the wickedly named Valley of Desolation and some truly wild vegetation. Adrenalin Adventures With so many rivers, mountains, and beaches in Dominica, you don’t have to search very hard to find an extreme adventure. Go river tubing or kayaking, following the Layou River to the sea; snorkel through warm bubbles at Champagne Beach; go canyoning through the rainforest to a secret waterfall; tackle the Waitukbuli National Trail, the longest in the Caribbean; scuba dive around Scotts Head Pinnacle; or swim all the way from the Caribbean to the Atlantic!
