Sari Sari Falls by lacienj

We took a hike to Sari Sari Falls and it was amazing! The hike to get there is rather vigorous, but well worth it. The scenery along the way is incredible and the Fall is breathtaking. On Christmas day, the water in the pool beneath the fall was warm enough to swim in comfortably and as clear as if it came out of an evian bottle.

Make sure to visit the black sand beaches too!

I was born here by JadeJewel

I grew up on this island. I loved every moment of it. Even if there is a struggling economy, I would go back in a heartbeat. It is definitely the nature isle of the caribbean.

the most endearing place in the caribbean by averagejo

It really is. less touristy, more friendly, clean and beautiful.

A true Island atmosphere, and the people were amazing.

Last time i went, the poverty level was enormous, (32% were unemployed) and you would think that would make it kind of scary (rich americans, poverty stricken island?) but it wasn’t at all. The people were honest, hard working and just genuinely good people.

now, add that to the beauty of the island, and the richness in culture?

amazing place.

and make sure to drop alot of cash there, the economy needs it!

It really is one of the most gorgeous places I have ever visited. And very untouristy…no shops, no chain stores…the way life should be! We rented a place in Calibishie and rented a car and went all over the place. I can’t wait to go back!

  • travel.nytimes.com Introduction to Dominica by FROMMER'S November 20, 2006 The beaches aren't worth the effort to get here, but the landscape and rivers, as well as increasingly renowned scuba diving, are. Nature lovers who visit Dominica (Dom-in- ee -ka) experience a wild, rugged Caribbean setting, as well as the rural life that has largely disappeared on the more developed islands. Dominica is, after all, one of the poorest and least developed islands in the Caribbean. There are no casinos and no megaresorts -- and hardly any road signs. It's also one of the less expensive islands in the Caribbean, and probably the only one that Columbus would still recognize. (read article)
