Dominica is an island nation in the Caribbean, part of North America, and it is known above all for its unspoiled natural beauty. Visitors come for landscapes that feel largely untouched, and the country is also called the Nature Island, a name that suits a visit built around the outdoors.
What a visit offers
- Waterfalls set within green, forested terrain, which invite walks and time spent by the water.
- Whale watching, one of the island's best-known activities, giving a chance to see these animals from the coast.
- Natural scenery across the island, suited to visitors who prefer quiet surroundings to busy resorts.
Planning your trip
Dominica suits travellers who want to be outside: walking, swimming, and watching the sea and the land. The island's character comes from its nature rather than from large-scale attractions, so the experience is shaped by how much time you give to exploring its waterfalls and coastline.
Officially the Commonwealth of Dominica, the country is an island destination in the Caribbean. It is worth considering if you are looking for a Caribbean trip centred on scenery and wildlife rather than beaches alone.
