Looking for an adventure beyond the typical Caribbean beaches? Dominica, the “Nature Island,” is your answer. If you love hiking, snorkelling, and eco-travel, this is your dream destination.
There is so much to explore on this island but here are my 8 best things to do in Dominica:
1. Waterfalls, Waterfalls, Waterfalls – Emerald Pool, Middleham, Victoria… with 365 rivers, Dominica is full of gorgeous waterfalls. Trek through the jungle for a refreshing dip—there are 300 miles of trails to explore! 🌿💦
2. Boiling Lake Hike – The second-largest boiling lake in the world, a sign that the island is still forming! Reach it after a challenging 6-hour hike through volcanic terrain🌋
3. Snorkel at Champagne Reef – Swim through warm, bubbling waters created by volcanic vents, surrounded by colorful coral and tropical fish 🫧🐠
4. Explore the Kalinago Territory – Visit the last indigenous community in the Caribbean, learn about their traditions, and see their handcrafted canoes 🏕️
5. Birdwatching in the Rainforest – Spot Dominica’s rare Sisserou Parrot (found nowhere else in the world!) and over 170 bird species in Morne Diablotin National Park—more than 75% of the island is covered in rainforest🦜
6. Relax in a Natural Hot Spring – Soak in Ti Kwen Glo Cho or Wotten Waven’s geothermal pools, naturally heated by the island’s volcanic activity. ♨️
7. Go Diving – Scott’s Head is one of the top dive sites in the Caribbean, with dramatic underwater cliffs, volcanic formations, and an abundance of marine life 🐠🤿
8. Go Whale Watching – Dominica is one of the best places in the world to see sperm whales year-round 🐋🚤
Why visit Dominica?
Unlike other Caribbean islands, Dominica is all about nature, adventure, and eco-tourism. Hike, snorkel, and explore the island’s untouched beauty—without the crowds ♥️
