Free, forty acres, and the best plant introduction on the island.
The Kalinago run cultural site at Salybia, with craft demonstrations, a herbal medicine garden and, on about three days notice, hands on cassava bread making.
Forest backed turtle nesting beach near Calibishie.
Led by the Dominica Sea Turtle Conservation Organisation on the main nesting beach.
Black sand, calm water, local bars.
Fifteen minutes up the headland where two seas meet.
A last climb above Roseau before you go.
Plant based Caribbean cooking on River Street.
Start in Roseau, which is small, walkable and greener than any other Caribbean capital. Dominica has 63.8 per cent forest cover, the highest in the region, though its marine protection is 0.1 per cent of territorial waters, which is worth knowing before you book a dive.
Free, forty acres, and the best plant introduction on the island.
The Kalinago Territory is roughly 3,700 collectively owned acres across eight hamlets, held under the Carib Reserve Act of 1978, now the Kalinago Territory Act, with an elected Chief and Council. It is the last communally held indigenous land in the Caribbean, and the communal ownership carries a veto over outside development.

This is your only free pass. A free account gives you 3.
The east coast takes the full Atlantic. This is turtle country, and the watch at Rosalie is run by the island's own conservation organisation on a strict protocol, so treat it as accompanying science rather than attending a show.
Cross to the leeward side for calm water and black sand. The west coast is where the fishing villages are and where the sunsets happen, and it is a completely different island from the one you just left.
Finish where you started, with the two free walks in Roseau. Dominica pledged after Hurricane Maria to become the world's first climate resilient nation, targeted for 2030, and you will see that in how things have been rebuilt.
