Was Dominica a haven to the Pirates of the Caribbean - by Travelrobe
There is no doubt why Gore Verbinski would have chosen Dominica as the back drop for the movie Pirates of the Caribbean 2 - starring Johnny Depp, Keira Knightly, Orlando Bloom and Bill Nighy.
Lying halfway between Guadeloupe and Martinique, Dominica\'s appeal has nothing to do with fabulous beaches what few that exist are paltry or idle days spent under a palm tree. Rather, its abundant nature invites rigorous hiking to deep emerald pools, waterfalls and bubbling lakes.
Travelrobe's managing director Mark Felix said in a statement, that \"the first thing you\'ll notice about Dominica is how intensely green the island is\" and visiting Dominica on two occasions, his best memory was meeting the Caribs.
Volcanic arches and caves busy with stingrays, barracuda and parrotfish makes for one of the Caribbean\'s best diving environments, while whales and dolphins often play off the southern coast, near Champagne, its a unique effervescent bay and those Pirates new Dominica was not any port in a storm.
Despite all that Dominica has to offer to eco-tourism, it\'s still vastly under visited, in no small part because it\'s not easy to reach. There are no direct flights from the US or Europe, and ferries from surrounding islands don\'t stop daily.
To reach Dominica you must first fly to Antigua, Barbados, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Puerto Rico, St Lucia or St Martin/St Maarten and catch a connecting flight from there. Airlines that fly to the island include American Eagle, Air Guadeloupe, Caribbean Star and LIAT. Flights arrive from Antigua four times daily, and from Guadeloupe and St Lucia twice daily.
