"Dominica : The Nature Island"
Fondly known as the “nature island,” Dominica holds true to its name. With striking cliffs, cascading waterfalls and sulfuric volcanic valleys, the island is hidden treasure for the lover of natural beauty, ready to be discovered.
A British colony until its independence in 1978, Dominica is today part of the Commonwealth. Located between the French islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique, Dominica is home to approximately 71,000 inhabitants, including 3,000 Carib Indians, direct descendants of the indigenous island population. Like the other islands of the Lesser Antilles, Dominica is small. Unlike others however, the island is nearly untouched by mass tourism development. Although the island feeds off of its eco-tourism, Dominica does not feature overbearing five-star hotels and crowded white, sandy beaches. Instead rivers run abundant, trails wind through tropical trees and vines and sulfur springs create naturally heated pools magically placed throughout the jungle. A haven for diving, hiking and exploring Dominica is the place for those ready for true adventure.
