Behold some of the naturally beautiful attractions that reflect Dominica’s nickname, “The Nature Isle of the Caribbean.” For the ultimate view of the island’s capital city Roseau, you will ascend to the lookout at Morne Bruce, from which you can spot the Dominica Botanic Gardens, your next stop. As you wander through this idyllic natural setting, you will see an array of indigenous plants that may include orchids and bromeliads. You will also likely view the twisted remains of a school bus beneath a massive baobob tree that crushed it during Hurricane David in 1979. The gardens are home to Sisserou parrots, which was named Dominica’s national bird as it’s the only species of parrot found on the island. While the gardens are manmade, nature shaped Hibiscus Falls, which you can easily reach on a brief walk through the rainforest. There, you will snack on fresh fruits and a cool tropical drink.
