Dominica is called the "Nature Island of the Caribbean. Without a doubt, the rolling hills, energetic rivers and beautiful forests contribute to that name. Ready to get physical? How about a 3 hour hike over vhallenging terrain to Boling Lake? Of course there is the 3 hour hike out as well. If that's not challenging enough, there is always an excursion to the peak of Morne Diablotin (Devil's Mountain) in the Northern Forest Reserve (4747ft.) Or you can do nothing at all. Miles of secluded beaches beckon. Take a leisure cruise on a bike and enjoy the wonders of the contryside at your own pace. Take in some shopping at the numerous little shops offering arts and crafts of the island. Or sample the many restaurants offering local creole cuisine, fresh fruits, and of course home made ice cream. As dramatic as the topside terrain of Dominica is, so will divers find below the waves.
