Few places on earth exude eternal beauty like Dominica, located in the Eastern Caribbean, just a short hop south of Antigua, in between the two French islands of Guadeloupe to the North and Martinique to the South.

Dominica, known as the Nature Island of the Caribbean, embraces a sense of serene and ageless beauty. From peaks to pinnacles, Dominica is alive with a radiant energy and stunning natural splendor. Jutting out of the Caribbean Sea, Dominicaâ€™s spectacular mountain ranges dramatically climb to nearly 5000ft. There are 288 square miles of lush terrain, verdant vegetation and rich forest.

Dominica is an outdoor world of adventure, excitement and unforgettable experience. There are an impressive variety of features from rainforests to reefs, waterfalls and lakes, sulfur and natural springs and 365 rivers, one for each day of the year. The climate is temperate all year round due to its location, only 680 miles from the equator. The sea is at a near constant 24 degrees Celsius, no wonder it is one of the worlds most famous dive destinations.

In our time of political turbulence, the friendly island of Dominica has remained a safe haven, independent of the worldâ€™s unrest. There is certainly no threat of terrorism or war in this peaceful island. An island that until recently, most didnâ€™t even know existed.
