Dominica

Why go?

Known as the 'Nature Island' of the Caribbean, Dominica will not disappoint the adventurous spirit. Forget the Caribbean cliche of lying on golden sand, and think about venturing forth on spectacular mountain hikes through untamed virgin rainforests filled with rivers, waterfalls, rare birds, exotic plants and surreal boiling volcanic pools. Take to the crystal clear ocean and you'll find pristine coral reefs and resident whales. As the only island where Carib Indians have survived, there's even some unique local culture to discover.

Extremely friendly, largely unspoilt and lacking in tourists, Dominica specialises in mountain hideaways and small family run hotels, not beach resorts. Bananas, not tourism are still their main source of income.

Any Downsides?

Dominica isn't your typical Caribbean destination: don't expect luxury hotels, wild nightlife and a country geared up for the needs of western tourists. It has little to offer the beach lover: much of the coastline is rugged, the sea is deep indigo blue, and apart from the beaches in the north east, most have black volcanic sand. It's the second poorest country in the region and although cheaper than its Caribbean counterparts, accommodation, food and transport are still fairly expensive. No direct international flights so you may have to overnight in one of the connecting islands. It rains a lot which explains why it's so beautifully lush.
