Product Description
Dominica, though diminutive, is one of the most naturally dramatic and beautiful islands of the Lesser Antilles. Self-proclaimed ‘Nature Island of the Caribbean’, its verdant mountains, lush valleys and dense tropical rainforests are a delight for those looking to discover a Caribbean island that can still claim to be off the mass-tourism trail. Aside from nature lovers, this guide is ideal for explorers intent on experiencing the country’s rich culture and heritage, and for scuba-divers who want to discover some dramatic marine life and underwater topography. Dominica’s recent claim to fame includes being the location for the filming of Hollywood blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean.

Dominica -- all the detail you need May 24, 2008
Unfortuntately I purchased my copy of "Dominica" after my trip. We were fortunate, however, to meet the author, Paul Crask, for some guided hiking. In reading the guidebook after the fact, I can say with certainty that the information presented is very detailed and accurate, and chock-full of useful information.
The book is well-organized, with the first few chapters devoted to general, background and practical information for travelers. The second part is organized geographically, which helps with trip planning.
We look forward to returning to Dominica, and this time we'll read the guidebook first!
Great introduction to Dominica April 11, 2008
This guide is a great introduction to Dominica.
Both the narrative and photography are rich and authoritative and provide a deeply attractive presentation of Dominica's heritage. This book also has a relaxed feel to it which drew me into the whole idea of visiting what is clearly a naturally beautiful island. I particularly want to experience the National Parks, rainforest, the many incredible water falls and the Boiling Lake.
The guide also gives a sense for the culture, music and food of Dominica. There doesn't seem to be a Starbucks but it's not that kind of place, if you want to enjoy a Bellos Cocoa Tea and like the sound of a Hurricane Rum cocktail then this place should get high on your list of destinations.
I've read several guides before my travels in the past but none have hit the spot like this, well done to the author. Read this guide and visit the island! I'm looking forward to it.
Great Guide to Dominica--RikS April 5, 2008
Actually the only real current guide I was able to find to Dominica. But it was great for our recent visit to this wonderful island. It was very accurate and useful describing hikes we took to Middleham Falls, Syndicate, Boiling Lake, Cabrits, Scotts Head and covering the towns of Portsmouth and Rosseau. It would improve with an index to the businesses, hotels and restaurants. Paul has done a good job---Rik
