About Dominica
- Often called the “Nature Isle of the Caribbean,” the Commonwealth of Dominica is a spectacular volcanic island renowned for its dramatic, mountainous landscape rather than typical white-sand beaches.
- Covered in lush rainforests and home to 365 rivers, cascading waterfalls, and geothermal wonders like the famous Boiling Lake, it is a premier destination for ecotourism, hiking, and diving.
- An independent, English-speaking nation, this pristine and unspoiled island should not be confused with the Dominican Republic.
