If you're looking for the best of what the Caribbean has to offer, without casinos, beach resorts, or all inclusive lie-around vacations, this is the island for you.

On a sparsely populated island still carpeted in ancient jungles, the Southeast region of Dominica is a gem of rugged nature that is considered the last frontier on the island, and probably in the entire Caribbean. Peaceful remote beaches and jungles await you, along with a number of traditional communities still living the good life off the land. The oldest person on record died in 2003 in the Southeast Dominican village of Petite Savane at the age of 128! Come see why Dominicans often live for over a century: you'll have the chance to spend a day living the traditional village life right alongside Southeast Dominica's unique community of residents.   These cultural experiences have never been available before.

Southeast Domininca is the place to get in touch with nature and with yourself. A trip here will tire your legs but rejuvenate your soul. Stay in luxurious ecolodges, model eco-communities, quaint guesthouses, or even the homes of villagers. If you want to really understand the strong community traditions of this amazing island, Southeast Dominica is the place to get in touch with it all.

We have something for everyone:

The Adventurous
Extreme hikes abound and here is where the historic trail crossing the island starts, if you are looking to set off on your own and do some back country camping. But stay in the SE for a day or a week and hike a different trail to a different waterfall, a different breathtaking vista, another village every day!

Those Seeking Peace
Stay at remote Jungle Bay and soak in the volcanic pool. Learn Yoga or spend time in the spa. Hike out into remote jungles and along wave swept beaches for a quiet time in pure nature hard to match in other travel destinations of the world.

What People are Saying

“Dominica is one of the most beautiful places that I have ever seen. So lush, so green, the smell in the rainforest is intoxicating, and the people are wonderful. Enjoy!!”
TRIP ADVISOR

"Just returned from Dominica and it is amazing!!!..... it's all good in Dominica - you kind of can't go wrong.”  
Lonely Planet Thorn Tree

“Dominica is a secret I am hesitant to share but a place so hidden I have to boast that I even heard of it! Only a day trip from east coast U.S.A., yet worlds away. Dominica is the exception to the Caribbean, with cool summer nights and no mainstream tourism traffic.”
