About Dominica
This is the Jurassic Park of the Windward Islands and a
botanist's paradise. Its towering volcanic interior is host to a
huge variety of trees, orchids and other plant life. With Dominica
just 1 hours flight from Barbados, why not take the opportunity to
explore this it idyllic island as a dual centre holiday.
This island is a firm favourite for birdwatchers and the
critically endangered Sisserou and Jacqout parrots can be seen in
the north of the island. The island's scenery is stunning with
mountains plunging deep into the Caribbean to the west and the
Atlantic to the east.
Volcanic activity is still apparent in the islands hot springs
and the Boiling Lake, which is the second largest of its kind in
the world and well worth trek to see. Dominica is a mecca for
hikers with plenty of jungle trails that invariably seem to end in
cascading waterfalls or splendid views. The dramatic scenery
continues underwater and Dominica has developed a reputation as
one of the Caribbean's top dive destinations. Whales and dolphins
are seen off the coast Guantanamo for much of the year and whale
watching trips are easily arranged.
The Island of Dominica is a trip designed to introduce you to
the wide variety of Dominican flora and fauna. An opportunity not
be missed.
