Victoria Falls
This very impressive and photogenic
waterfall is located in Morne Trois Pitons
National Park and it is where the mineral
rich, milky-white White River tumbles off
a cliff into a warm pool. Although getting
to the falls involves a 40 minute hike that
includes river crossings and scrambling
over boulders, the spectacular falls and
the river are well worth the effort and
you can always relax in the pools warm
waters when you arrive.

Roseau
Pronounced “roze-o” Dominica’s
capital Roseau is a jumble of modern
buildings, market stalls and West
Indian cottages with a distinctive
Rastafarian vibe. The waterfront
has a dock for cruise ships and a
promenade whilst elsewhere there are
the Botanic Gardens, museum and the
Gothic-Romanesque-style St. Patrick’s
Catholic Cathedral. A short drive to
Morne Bruce will afford panoramic
views of the city.

The Carib Territory
The Kalinago people are the Caribbean’s
largest remaining tribe of Carib Indians
who live on a reserve on Dominica’s
northeast coast. These Caribs live off
fishing, agriculture and handmade
crafts which you can see being made
as you walk through the traditional
wooden buildings that make up the
village which is nestled between fields
of breadfruit and bananas.
