The Discover Dominica Authority (DDA) has launched “Summer
the Nature Island Way,” a seasonal travel program featuring eight curated
itineraries designed to enable travelers to explore Dominica through experiences
tied to adventure, wellness, culture and nature-based pursuits.
The program helps visitors seeking meaningful Caribbean
vacations beyond the beach identify and explore activities in communities across
the island, encouraging longer stays and more intensive exploration of the
island.
The collection’s four multi-day travel itineraries and four
full day tours make it easy for families, couples and solo travelers to access
adventure, wellness, romance and cultural discovery activities. Visitors can
hike to the world's second-largest Boiling Lake, explore UNESCO World
Heritage-listed Morne Trois Pitons National Park, relax in warm sulfur springs,
snorkel at Champagne Reef, and experience the only place on Earth where sperm
whales reside year-round.
