Cultural Notes
Dominica has a strong Carib (Kalinago) indigenous heritage - the only remaining Carib Territory in the Caribbean. Creole culture dominates with French and British colonial influences. Creole music and cuisine are highlights.
Insider Tips
Dominica is the "Nature Island" - come for hiking, not beaches. The Waitukubuli National Trail crosses the entire island. Bring hiking boots, rain gear, and mosquito repellent. Rent a car (4WD recommended) to explore. Cash (EC dollars or USD) is preferred.
