About Dominica

Untouched and unspoiled by much of society, Dominica is a rural and unpopulated island known more for its high peaks, treacherous hiking paths and underwater beauty rather than its beaches. It is the perfect retreat for the adventure traveler and naturalist seeking solitude from beach-going, commercial tourism that dominates the Caribbean.
