Dominica on a Plate by Grant Greg Lynott
The bounty from land and sea is one of the unique traits of Dominican life that fascinated me when I first arrived on this wild and untamed island about two years ago.

We started out early to have plenty of time to take photos. Subtle early light filtered through jungle canopy as we left the trailhead and lovely Titou Gorge behind. Finally, for the first time ever, we were on our way to the Boiling Lake, perhaps the most famous, but also one of toughest hikes in Dominica.
Today, many breath-taking passages range from flat river beds to over 600 feet deep gorges. The only way to access and explore these magnificent places is through the use of special equipment, along with trained techniques. It’s relatively easy to learn from expert guides, for those brave enough to try.
The intriguing Nature Island has a permanent hold on me. From the moment I first arrived in March 1997, up to now, I still can’t get enough of the place. Even though I relocated to Canada a few years ago, I’m always eager to come back. Here’s why.
