Dominica, known as the "Nature Island of the Caribbean," is a volcanic island with rugged terrain. It's mostly mountainous, covered by lush rainforests, and home to nine of the Caribbean's sixteen active volcanoes. The island spans approximately 290 square miles, and is about 2.6 times the size of Bonaire.

Explore the island's iconic underwater features, including rugged pinnacles, dramatic drop-offs, and abyssal depths. With the guidance of experienced dive instructors, you'll discover hidden treasures like coral gardens, sponge-covered reefs, and intriguing shipwrecks. In April, the water temperatures around Dominica are typically around 79°F to 82°F making it ideal for snorkeling and diving.
Land-Based Sights: When you're not exploring the underwater wonders, Dominica's lush landscapes offer equally captivating adventures. Hike through the island's tropical rainforests to discover cascading waterfalls, hot springs, and emerald pools.
