Dominica - Experience an Island Reborn

As Dominica (Eastern Caribbean) is recovering from a monster category 5+ hurricane Maria, this short movie focuses on nature coming back on the Nature Island.



This is an extended version of another short documentary which just won The Media Award at Dominica Film Challenge, gaining over 150,000 views in less than a month. Includes fine aerial drone shots using DJI Phantom 4 Pro. This flick had been also presented at Trinidad and Tobago Film Festival and CariFesta 2019.
I hope you will enjoy!

Untouched Caribbean Island. Can't Believe This Exists ???? Explore Dominica in the Caribbean ????????

In this video we spend a few days exploring the untouched and not overly well known Caribbean island of Dominica! Dominica is known as the nature island, with lots of waterfalls and rivers (365, one for every day of the year!).

We start things off with a quick tour of our hotel, where we are staying in the penthouse. This hotel is an adventure hotel and a great place to stay if you’re looking to plan lots of fun adventures around the island during your stay. You can find more about it here:

After setting off from the hotel to explore the island, and getting over a bit of motion sickness (the roads are very windy and even those that aren’t use to motion sickness can be affected, some prepared), we stop at the Emerald Pool. It’s about a 10 minute easy hike to get there and once you arrive you’ll encounter a lovely waterfall where you can also swim. This is definitely the place where we encountered more tourists than anywhere else!

Next up we had the most beautiful canoe ride through Indian River (a scene from Pirate’s of the Caribbean was filmed here), where we encountered loads of different types of birds, crabs and wildlife. Unfortunately it got dark very quickly and we had to stop filming.

We picked things up the next day at Morne Bruce where we had a great view overlooking the main city in Dominica, Roseau. We also make a stop at the botanical gardens to see a bus that was flattened by a tree many years ago in a hurricane and is now referred to as David and Goliath. We then spend a little bit of time exploring Roseau.

Later we make our way to a lake high up in the mountains, called Freshwater Lake where we fly the drone to get a better view.

Lastly we head to Trafalgar water falls to view the two side by side waterfalls affectionally known and mama and papa.

ABOUT DOMINICA ????????
Dominica is a mountainous Caribbean island nation with natural hot springs and tropical rainforests. Morne Trois Pitons National Park is home to the volcanically heated, steam-covered Boiling Lake. The park also encompasses sulphur vents, the 65m-tall Trafalgar Falls and narrow Titou Gorge. To the west is Dominica’s capital, Roseau, with colorful timber houses and botanic gardens.

Discover the Majestic Nature Island That Is Dominica

No, it’s not the Dominican Republic; welcome to Dominica, the nature island! #travel #dominica #island

Dominica is situated between Guadeloupe and Martinique in the Caribbean, and is 300 square miles of paradise. With the highest concentration of dormant volcanoes in the world, there’s an endless supply of hot springs and warm streams and even warm bubbles caressing you from the ocean floor. Two-thirds of the island is covered in tropical rainforest, resulting in the lushest landscapes and most magnificent canyons and waterfalls you’ll ever see.

There were so many highlights on our trip to Dominica, but the main ones we featured in this video were the hike to Boiling Lake in the UNESCO-listed Morne Trois Pitons National Park and seeing sperm whales in the open ocean—Earth’s largest toothed predator—right up close. What set Dominica apart from everywhere else is that you’ll have these spectacular beaches, waterfalls, hot springs, and natural wonders all to yourself. And last but definitely not least, you’ll get to meet some of the kindest and most warmhearted people on the planet!

Dominica - The Nature Island

I spent a little over a week in the Caribbean on Dominica filming everything along the way.

Here Are 8 Great Reasons To Travel to Dominica Right Now

There are so many things we love about Dominica it’s hard to pare them down to eight, but here goes:

#8: Start with canyoning in some of the lushest gorges you’ve ever seen. #7: Then grab a bush rum, cane liquor mixed with local herbs. #6: When you’re ready, the hike to Boiling Lake awaits. #5: And you can find more amazing hikes pretty much anywhere you go on the island. #4: Many of these hikes lead you to mystical waterfalls. #3: And ditto that for hot springs. #2: The people here in Dominica are hands down some of the kindest and warmest hosts you’ll find anywhere. #1: And finally, number one: Nothing can prepare you for seeing sperm whales up close. Dominica is the only place on Earth where they live year round, which gives you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience these amazing marine mammals out in the wild. #travel #dominica #adventure

These are just some of the reasons we love Dominica. As soon as you get here, you’ll find your own.

20 minutes of Adventure on Dominica

Other Caribbean island may have bigger white sand beaches or bigger resorts and shopping malls, but when it comes to experiencing unspoiled nature at it's most beautiful nothing compares to Dominica. Part of the Lesser Antillies chain of islands, Dominica's nine active volcanoes lift it's peaks far above the South East Caribbean Sea and neighboring Martinique and Guadeloupe, blessing it with rain forests, water falls, hot springs and boiling lakes, black sand beaches, and reefs to snorkel full of fish and bubbles.

Dominica VERTICALS. A Virtual Journey in 4K. Part 3

This 3rd part - same as my whole DOMINICA series of leisurely videos illustrated only with music - is dedicated to all in self-isolation, having hard time coping with current global situation, overworked, perhaps with a virus infection, and all related personal matters. I hope it can give you a moment of relaxation, pleasure, and that Dominica's beautiful nature will send you some healing vibes. Lets take your mind off these difficult matters. If you are in need of a virtual holiday travel - this series may be just for you!

Dominica - the Nature Island - is among the most mountainous Caribbean islands. In its native tongue named Waitukubuli - Tall Is Her Body, it reaches impressive heights on a small footprint. Ridges, waterfalls, cliffs, canyons - covered with old tropical forest - create together an unforgettable landscape with highly dominant VERTICAL spaces, shapes and lines. This part of my video series is just about these - vertical elements of nature - waterfalls, huge old trees, cliffs - all in perfect natural harmony. Dominica's nature is breath-taking and I am in love with it.

By no means a complete set of the most beautiful spots, it is my humble attempt to bring Dominica closer to your heart. An perhaps - when hard times are over - you would decide to experience it the best way - by visiting and exploring this beautiful land.

Filmed in 4K with drones and static cameras, and using slow motion and time lapse technique to give you an immersive Dominica experience. I hope you will enjoy! All the best!

Dominica - the Nature Island - is full of bloom - all year around. These are wild flowers, blooming trees and palms, and also blooming, lush tropical gardens. These are selected picks, mere highlights of the lush nature around here. This series is not as EPIC as previous part. It is more about beauty found in small things. I can't imagine this beautiful island without flowers, and this is my attempt to bring them closer to you. I also believe that many of you love tropical flowers and gardens, and will enjoy this little flick.


My wife and me are keen and experienced gardeners. Also one of books we published is about flowers, so many things around us evolve around bloom - (check on Amazon our Exotic Gardens of the Eastern Caribbean). Tropical plants are our passion, and this short clip is my attempt to share our passion with you.

The Revival of Screws' Sulphur Spring Spa in Dominica | Kings&Dee | Travel Vlog |

As we set our sights on a new destination, our hopes were high that this would be an accessible haven for Kingsley. Introducing Screws, a haven of Sulphur spring baths and spa experiences. While the ferocity of Hurricane Maria in 2017 dealt a devastating blow to the original location, today, the area stands renewed, a testament to the indomitable spirit of recovery.

????️ Nature's Fury, Human Resilience ????️
The aftermath of Hurricane Maria left Screws' spa in ruins, erasing what was once a serene sanctuary. Through dedication and determination, the spa has emerged from the shadows, a phoenix reborn from the ashes. Comparing the 2016 films to our present-day video showcases the triumph of restoration and the undying allure of this unique spa.

???? A Conversation of Progress and Passion ????
Our encounter with Screw was not just a dialogue; it was a bond formed over shared dreams. As he shared his vision for the spa's future, we listened intently, providing insights on making the pools more accessible for all. Kingsley's expertise illuminated the path to a spa that caters to diverse needs, fostering a more inclusive oasis.

???? Nurturing Dreams, One Drop at a Time ????
Beyond the rejuvenating properties of the Sulphur springs, Screws' spa carries within it the essence of a dreamer's heart. We're not only witnessing the resurgence of a spa but also the revival of a man's aspirations. With our support, we aspire to see tourism flourish, restoring the spa to its former glory while enhancing accessibility for all.

NATURE ISLAND SELFIE TOUR 2019 (DOMINICA) - Shot on Galaxy S9+

Responsible tourism in Dominica

Dominica is widely recognised as a world leader in responsible tourism. It was the first ever country to receive a Benchmark designation by international eco-tourism organisation Green Globe, back in 2004. The islands success comes from the fact that it has not had to develop a green tourism product put simply, sustainable tourism is the only kind of tourism Dominica has ever offered.

The natural landscape and local people are key to Dominicas tourism industry. The island has no international chain hotels or large resorts and most businesses are locally owned and run. Local communities are the force behind hotels, guesthouses and tour companies, and in return, tourism benefits local villages and community projects both financially and through imparting knowledge and resources to help all Dominicans live a sustainable lifestyle.

This video demonstrates why Dominica has earned its nickname The Nature Island and looks at how sustainable tourism is helping the island and its people to thrive.

Dominica the most magical place on Earth.

MAGICAL DOMINICA - A COUNTRY RICH IN NATURE AND CULTURE SO MUCH TO SEE AND SO MUCH TO DO. LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK IN THE COMMENTS SECTION.
