Whether you’re into trekking high into the mountaintops or exploring the watery world below, Dominica is the place to go after those who select hiking boots over high heels and are content with a nightlife where the solitary music is the murmur of the jungle. Dominica has surprisingly long drives for such a short island, so it’s better to pick a spot or two and tour instead of bouncing around. If you can do it in the mountains (hiking, bird-watching, searching after hidden pools and waterfalls) or the water (diving, snorkeling, kayaking), you can do it in Dominica. Don’t miss the former forests of the Morne Trois Pitons State Park, home to the otherworldly Boiling Lake and the spectacular Trafalgar Falls. there are a some sandy beaches, but most want a little gumption to find and there are usually lone a some lodging choices nearby, at most.
