EXPERIENCE DOMINICA

This amazing and unique paradise is home to the vast national park and rain forest of Morne Trois Pitons as well as the second largest hot spring in the world, Boling Lake. This island unlike others, is not well known for its beaches, although there are many to enjoy, but for the stunning beauty of its nature and natural resources with impressive hikes, waterfalls, bird-watching, secluded pools and springs, and charming villages.

 

The main way of getting to the island by air is via Melville Hall Airport, either from Puerto Rico or other nearby islands. The other major city is Portsmouth in the north. These two cities and the north side of the island  (Calibishie region) are connected by good paved roads and are within 45 minutes to one hour and half apart. When traveling west to east the road get smaller and at times rough and in some cases down to a dirt path. For this reason it is recommended to explore the island with a Local.

A Day in Dominica

One day on this paradisiac island is better spent with a Local who can take you to the spice market in Roseau, take you to the small fishing village of Scott’s Head and hike all the way up the south tip to enjoy the stunning view. Head north for lunch at Papillotte, one of the most amazing places on the island and tour the restaurant’s meticulous garden. Soak your feet in the mineral warm pools and end with a hike to Trafalgar Falls.

If instead you are on the other side of the Island you can spend the day with a Local visiting a Rasta community near Delices to meet Moses a well known herbalist on the island. Enjoy a wonderful local meal before you adventure on the most amazing hike through water, up and down a few boulders until you get to the spectacular Victoria Falls. You can end the day relaxing in the white river for a natural mineral massage.
