Dominica
Want to escape the cold of winter but not so much into an all-inclusive beach resort? Ahhhh but imagine being in a warm, sunny climate instead of in the cold, dark dreary winter. Well, have we found the place for an adventurer such as yourself – DOMINICA!
No, not the Dominican Republic – DOMINICA.
Nestled between Guadeloupe and Martinique, Dominica proudly proclaims itself as the Nature Island. Mountainous peaks up to 1450m, 12 major waterfalls, a river for every day of the year and over a thousand flowering plants, Dominica is a hiker’s paradise and a diver’s dream. It is the trailhead to adventure and discovery, unlike any other Caribbean destination. No major hotel chains, no fast food outlets, no casinos or boardwalks here. Its volcanic peaks shoot out of the sea, its geothermal activity and underwater champagne springs creating mystique for adventure travellers. It is a rush of sparkling waterfalls, gushing streams and rainforest canopies. It’s a celebration of music, art and flowers and home to two endemic species of parrots found nowhere else in the world.
Dominica’s interior is as rugged as it is charming, so strap on those hiking boots. Our program will take us to Middleham Falls, and through the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Morne Trois Pitons National Park for an unforgettable hike to Boiling Lake. We’ve also included segments of the Caribbean’s first long-distance hiking trail, the Waitukubuli National Trail, Dominica’s pride & joy. Join us as we feast on Creole cuisine, go birding for Sisserous and Jacos (wild parrots) and walk amongst the butterflies and heliconias.
Our home will be the award-winning JUNGLE BAY RESORT & SPA. The resort sits atop Morne Acouma, nestled within beautiful forests of tropical trees, banana plants and flowers, in harmony with nature and overlooking the marine sanctuary of Scotts Head and Soufriere. As an alternative to traditional Caribbean tourism, their focus is on enjoyable nature-based activities and the wellness of their guests, guided by the principles set by both National Geographic’s Center for Sustainable Destinations and The International Ecotourism Society (TIES).
This island is tailor-made for exploring; the weather is consistently sunny, the views are magnificent and the people are wonderfully hospitable. If you have an adventurous spirit and are looking for an unspoiled hiking experience, you cannot top Dominica!

"My memories of that trip are still very vivid. This is such a wonderful February get away, as a matter of fact, quite perfect. I loved, loved it. I might even do it again."

"I can't stop thinking about what a fabulous experience Dominica was. I also loved our group. Everyone was so nice and fun!"
Susan G. (Dominica 2026)
"What a great trip in every way, the accommodations, the jungle, the locals, the hikes, the swims, the rivers, the waterfalls, and our guides and guidance from Maddalena. All of you made it so much more fun and we shared something very special. There is a special place in my heart that I will hold this trip in."
