Our Dominica holidays & tours
The best way to explore the rain and cloud forests, volcanic craters and steamy slopes on our Dominica holidays and Dominica tours is by hiking. Which is why the Waitukubuli National Trail, the only long-distance walking trail in the Caribbean, is so highly rated by international trekkers. Spanning 185km from north to south, it was designed by the local community to link up remote villages and is just one of many highlights to unveil within this untouched island paradise. Our holidays use Dominican guides who don’t just point you the right way, but can tell you about Indigenous rights, local culture and what’s good on the menu. Along the way, drink from the streams, drink in the views, and meet the turtles supported by the local turtle conservation programme.

Dominica holiday highlights
Get back to nature
Dominica is often referred to as the ‘Nature Island of the Caribbean’, and having a wildlife holiday guided by the island’s best naturalists means you will be in expert hands. Hands that will point out whales and dolphins along the Caribbean coast, kingfishers or iguanas along the Indian River in Cabrits National Park, or endemic parrots in Morne Diablotin National Park. The Syndicate Rainforest is like a green rather than red carpet that lines the route up to this majestic, eponymous peak, home to a bevy of birds and butterflies. These include the endangered sisserou (imperial amazon) and Jaco (red-necked) parrots.
Or head to the beaches of Rosalie, La Paine Bout Sable and Londonderry for turtle watching delights too. And for a finale, Dominica has whale watching all year round, with underwater topography offering suitably deep habitats for approximately 200 sperm whales to feed and breed, with a cacophony of other cetaceans joining the party from time to time.

Not just a museum, but a land belonging to the indigenous Kalinago. This is a place to look beyond the souvenirs and learn from stories.
Meet the people of the Caribbean
The only indigenous peoples’ reserve in the Caribbean belongs to the Kalinago, of whom there are over 3,400. Named Caribs by the Europeans, visit the Kalinago Territory to get a real sense of Dominica’s living and ancient heritage, be it cookery or craft, politics or performances, farming or fishing. The Kalinago Barana Autę Cultural Village is the tourist hub, but there are other villages to visit, either for daytrips or homestays.
Waitukubuli National Trail (WNT)
It is hardly surprising that our Dominica hiking holidays are some of our most popular, thanks to the, literally, trail blazing Waitukubuli National Trail (WNT). Named after the indigenous name for the country, which means 'tall is her body', the WNT takes you the length of this island's beautiful body, from Scott's Head in the south to Cabrits National Park in the north. Divided into 14 segments, and 185km long, the aim is that it takes visitors a day to tackle each one.The first long distance walking trail in the Caribbean, there is an excellent network of locally trained "Dominica Discover Authority" (DDA) certified guides to take you through rainforest, the indigenous Kalinago community, up volcanic terrain and back down to cool off in waterfall pools. And all created by the island community, to bring tourism into beautiful spots that were off the tourist trail until the creation of the WNT. Damage caused by Hurricane Maria closed the trail in 2017, but repair work is ongoing and progressing well.
The waters bubble with geothermal activity. Champagne Reef is gorgeous, but the vast submerged crater with underwater fumaroles at Scott's Head is like a geography trip that is far too cool for school.
Sub-aqua sublimity
Dominica’s topography doesn’t stop at the sea, with underwater volcanoes proffering perfect habitats for lobster, sponges, seahorses, morays, turtles and fish galore. Dives are varied, with the Caribbean on one side of the island, and the Atlantic on the other, meeting on the southernmost tip at Soufriere Scotts Head Marine Reserve.

We wanted a once in a lifetime holiday and that's what we got. I've tried to think of any negatives but honestly can't. Obviously, this kind of holiday isn't for everyone - it is an ecolodge in the rainforest that you have to zip wire into, but if you're ready to embrace whatever happens, you'll have an amazing time.read more

All the hikes we did were pretty special (and that was the main reason for going to Dominica). The wild plants and trees are spectacular, as are the incredibly steep volcanic hillsides and craters.read more
