It’s hard to get tired of the stunning beaches in the Caribbean, but a stop on a Dominica cruise gives you a break from that typical beachy, party atmosphere. Instead, Dominica provides visitors with overgrown tropical forests to traipse through, challenging hikes to waterfalls, and exciting ecotourism. Dominica is nicknamed the “nature island” of the Caribbean for good reason. You’ll be impressed by the island’s many waterfalls; supposedly, the island has 365 of them scattered throughout.
As a stop on a Caribbean cruise, the island of Dominica is a haven for outdoorsy types seeking their next thrill in nature, while downtown Roseau offers something completely different. Downtown Roseau is the place to find museums, a beautiful botanic garden, and the city’s thriving arts scene. Dominica is also a hidden gem in terms of culture and history, particularly the untold stories of an indigenous group called the Kalinago. Clearly Dominica offers something special for all types of travelers.
