We will recover. We will see the beauty of the Nature Island once again. It will take a lot of hard work, and a lot of help from the international community, but we will shall rise better than before. But just as her people, so is she. Beautiful both on the outside and inside.
Uniquely Natural. Naturally Unique. A rich tapestry of lush rainforests, rivers and waterfalls, with volcanic wonders on land and under the sea. The people of Dominica welcome you to share the beauty and tranquility of “Nature’s Island.” To discover the rich culture of the people. An enriching eco tourism experience. The physical challenge of extreme adventure. Or the serenity of a secluded spa retreat. When you discover Dominica, you discover yourself – and a Caribbean experience like no other.
The nature island’s mountainous terrain is draped in indigenous dense, lush vegetation. Peaks soaring past 4,500 feet are found toward the central part of the island. An astounding 365 rivers and streams (one for each day of the year) coil their way through gorges giving way to spectacular waterfalls, lakes and pools. Appropriately, Dominica was called “Wai’tu kubuli”, which means “Tall is her body” by our ancient native inhabitants, the Caribs, and called Kairi by the Arawaks.
The Nature Isle’s dense rainforest is home to some very rare plant, animal, and bird species. Vibrant flora and fauna can be enjoyed where nature trails flourish. Some plants and animals thought to be extinct on surrounding islands can still be found in Dominica’s forests. The Imperial Amazon, also known as the Imperial Parrot or Sisserou Parrot is an Amazon parrot endemic to the mountain forests of the Nature Island, where it is the national bird and is featured on the Dominican flag. Come and be apart of this lovely paradise. The longer you wait the more you are gonna miss out.
