Dominica
Dominica Weddings & Honeymoon Destination
Dominica (Say: dahm uh NEE kuh) is quite different from any other Caribbean island. It has few beaches and few large resorts. However Dominica is known as the “nature island” of the Caribbean, a wonderland of tropical rain forest and mountains, laced with 365 rivers, and home to a boiling volcanic lake. While other islands work on preserving their ecosystems, Dominica’s Flora and Fauna lie secluded, much of it still untouched by modern development and human encroachment.
There are two airports on the island. Most flights arrive at the busier Melville Hall Airport on the northeastern part of the island. The drive from the airport to the capital, Roseau is one (1) hour and twenty (20) minutes. Neither of the airports have nonstop flights from the UK or North America. A connection through San Juan, Barbados or Antigua is most convenient for the bulk of travelers.
