From its enchanting green pools to its volcanic golden reefs, Dominica has landmark attractions for everyone to enjoy.
The Emerald Pool
In the heart of Dominica, Morne Trois Pitons National Park sits an ethereal green gem – Emerald Pool. Glistening beneath a leafy umbrella, the sun-dappled water shimmers with a rainbow of vert colours, complemented by a waterfall backdrop. Legend has it that taking a dip in this fountain of youth could add 10 years to an explorer’s life, adding to the allure of this enchanting spot.
Champagne Reef
Take a plunge into the sparkling waters of Champagne Reef and explore the thermal springs that release tiny volcanic gas bubbles from the ocean floor. The reef is golden in colour for an enhanced effect, giving the sea a greenish-gold hue. Snorkelling and scuba diving enthusiasts can encounter a variety of sea creatures, including octopuses, rays, hawksbill turtles, seahorses, parrotfish, and frogfish swimming among a vibrant kaleidoscope of red rope, yellow tube, purple vase, and pink, azure sponges.
Whale Watching
Dominica’s steep underwater drop-offs create sheltered bays along its western coastline, providing the perfect haven for sperm whales to breed and calve. These magnificent creatures reside there all year long, making this the only place in the world to see this spectacular sight. Whale-watching operators adhere to a strict code of conduct, minimising any disturbances.
