Overview
Dominica, often called "The Nature Isle of the Caribbean," is an Eastern Caribbean island renowned for its unspoiled natural beauty. Unlike many of its Caribbean neighbors, Dominica's landscape is dominated by lush rainforests, volcanic peaks, bubbling hot springs, and countless rivers and waterfalls, rather than extensive white-sand beaches. It is a haven for adventurers, hikers, and nature enthusiasts seeking an authentic and wild Caribbean experience.
Dominica is a popular cruise port of call, with most ships docking in the capital city of Roseau on the island's southwest coast. The Roseau Cruise Ship Berth allows passengers to step directly into the heart of the capital, while larger ships may occasionally use Woodbridge Bay. A visit to Dominica offers cruise passengers an unparalleled opportunity to explore a verdant, volcanic landscape, discover stunning waterfalls, and immerse themselves in the island's vibrant natural and cultural heritage.
Visit the iconic Trafalgar Falls, twin waterfalls known as "Father" and "Mother." A short, easy walk through the rainforest leads to a viewing platform, and adventurous visitors can explore pools at the base, some hot from volcanic activity.
Tip: Wear sturdy shoes suitable for a short walk on potentially damp terrain. You might want swimwear if you plan to soak in the hot or cold pools.
Discover the enchanting Emerald Pool, a serene grotto fed by a 50-foot waterfall within the Morne Trois Pitons National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Its clear, refreshing mountain water cascades into a beautiful turquoise basin.
Tip: The walk to the Emerald Pool is relatively easy. Be prepared for chilly water if you decide to swim!
Experience the unique underwater phenomenon of Champagne Reef, where volcanic thermal springs release continuous streams of bubbles from the seafloor, creating a natural "champagne" effect. The reef is also teeming with colorful marine life.
Tip: This is a must-do for snorkelers! Visibility is usually excellent. Many tours combine this with other attractions.
Take a leisurely stroll through the Dominica Botanical Gardens in Roseau. Established in 1890, these expansive gardens feature a wide variety of tropical plants, trees, and flowers, along with a resident population of native Sisserou and Jaco parrots.
Tip: The gardens are a short walk from the cruise pier and offer a peaceful escape from the city bustle.
For a unique adventure, visit Titou Gorge, a narrow, volcanic-carved chasm where you can swim or float through crystal-clear waters to a hidden waterfall deep within. It's an invigorating and unforgettable experience.
Tip: This activity involves swimming in cool water and navigating through a narrow passage; swim belts are usually provided, but be prepared for a brief, energetic swim.
Learn about the indigenous Kalinago people (formerly Caribs) in the Kalinago Territory on the island's east coast, the last remaining territory of its kind in the Caribbean. Experience their unique culture, history, and traditional way of life.
Tip: This is a longer excursion, often requiring a scenic drive. It offers a deep cultural insight rarely found elsewhere in the Caribbean.
