Dominica, Caribbean Cruise Port

If you appreciate nature, then Dominica is the spot for you. This island in the Eastern Caribbean is known as “The Nature Island of the Caribbean” where you’ll find amazing unspoiled landscapes. The most unique of which is the Boiling Lake, a thermally active lake. In fact, the island, which is 291 square miles, is covered with National Parks and reserves. This pristine island is also home to the largest population of Carib Indians, the only pre-Columbian population in the Eastern Caribbean. Featured below are a few of our favorite things to do when cruising to Dominica:
 

• Take a dip in natural sulfur pools that are near Trafalgar Falls. These are two of the island’s biggest and most scenic falls.
   
• Visit Kalinago Barana Aute, a village recreated to represent a traditional Kalinago village where you’ll see a canoe carved from a tree and other handicrafts.
   
• If you are up for it, take a hike to the Boiling Lake where steam rises and the water bubbles and burps. The landscape seems other worldly and definitely will make for amazing photos.
   
• Visit the botanic gardens in Roseau. The 40-acres are covered with palm, ficus and banyan trees, as well as colorful flowers. Be sure to visit the Parrot Conservation and Research Centre which houses the Jaco and Sisserou parrots native to the island.
