While enjoying a cruise vacation with The World of Residensea, Hideaways Founder, Mike Thiel, took a two-day mini-vacation to Dominica. It only took one look at this lush, rugged island to know two days wouldn't be enough. Perfect for travelers interested in an island vacation and adventure travel, Dominica is a genuine paradise for nature lovers, with volcanic peaks, rainforests, rivers, and waterfalls. You won't find any touristy beaches here, nor will you find the suffocating crowds that accompany them. But you will find the last remaining home of the indigenous Carib Indians, Although Mike's vacation on Dominica was short, he still managed to collect some memorable souvenirs, including an exact detailed replica of a dugout fishing boat and some tasty local spices. Choose from a variety of accommodations, most of which are informal hotels and guest houses.
