You can take a dip in either one\u2014or both\u2014or just take photos from a viewing platform. Best of all, it\u2019s just 20 minutes from downtown <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Roseau-Hotels.d1050.Travel-Guide-Hotels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rouseau<\/a>, one of the island&#8217;s two major cities.<\/p>\n<h3>Boiling Lake<\/h3>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39449 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Boiling-Lake.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Boiling-Lake.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Boiling-Lake-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Boiling-Lake-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Boiling-Lake-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<p>No, it\u2019s not for swimming, just admiring, because this large pool is filled with water super-heated by the molten magma well below the surface. Located within Morne Trois Pitons National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the lake requires a hike, but the reward, as the saying goes, is priceless. Ocean views and the island of Martinique in the distance come and go through a dancing wave of steam vapor.<\/p>\n<h3>Papillote Tropical Gardens<\/h3>\n<p>There are smaller versions of the Boiling Lake in this rainforest garden, plus waterfalls smaller than Trafalgar Falls, making it a popular destination for both residents and visitors. Many of the island\u2019s 1,000 species of flowering plants, including 74 species of orchid, are on display here. Bring a bathing suit and take a plunge in one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.papillote.dm\/gardens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Papillote<\/a>\u2019s many cold and hot volcanic pools, take a walk along pathways dotted with multi-colored flowering plants, or just catch a breeze from the wings of thousands of hummingbirds.<\/p>\n<h3>Whale and dolphin tours<\/h3>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39450 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/dolphins.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/dolphins.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/dolphins-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/dolphins-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/dolphins-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<p>Dominica&#8217;s steep underwater drop-offs create sheltered bays that make perfect havens for whales to breed and calve, making it one of the best spots for whale watching in the Caribbean. While Dominica is&nbsp;the only place in the world where sperm whales reside all year, your best bet for spotting them is between November and March, but especially in mating season in November and December. <a href=\"https:\/\/divedominica.com\/whale-watching\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dive Dominica<\/a> offers tours, rum punch included, every Sunday.<\/p>\n<h3>Canyoneering<\/h3>\n<p>Rappel down cliffs into gorges carved by eons of rainforest, and take a swim in crystal clear pools. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.extremedominica.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Extreme Dominica<\/a> offers an eight-foot training wall for beginners, and guides trained according to American Canyoning Association standards.<\/p>\n<h3>Scuba diving<\/h3>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39451 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/scuba.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/scuba.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/scuba-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/scuba-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/scuba-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to get SCUBA certified, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Portsmouth-Hotels-Secret-Bay.h4748737.Hotel-Information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sunset Bay Resort<\/a> offers an on-site Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) dive site. If you&#8217;re already prepared for the open water, two popular dives are the Coral Garden and Batali Pinnacle in Batali Bay, and Rodney\u2019s Rock, a favorite for night dives. There also are some shipwrecks around the island, including from recent hurricanes, for advanced divers.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Where to eat<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Dominica\u2019s multi-cultural population is represented in the nation&#8217;s cuisine, which ranges from Creole to East Asian, focusing on fish and seafood plucked that morning from the surrounding clear ocean waters.&nbsp;<strong>Ray\u2019s Roti<\/strong> near Glanvillia is a popular beachside destination for Trinidad-style rotis. For seafood, head to&nbsp;<strong>Old Stone Grill and Bar<\/strong> in downtown Rouseau to try local dishes like coconut battered fish; the restaurant also claims to have the largest drink menu on the island.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PoZ\u2019 Restaurant and Bar<\/strong> may be the most famous on the island, thanks in part to its non-traditional peanut rum punch. It\u2019s located in the village of Calibishie, and its backyard garden supplies such herbs and spices as ginger, bay leaf, and lime for dishes that include curried goat, local lobster, and Callaloo soup, a Caribbean staple made with dasheen leaves, yam and other root vegetables and spices. There are as many versions throughout the Caribbean as there are palm trees. While it\u2019s not on the beach, PoZ\u2019 has its own pool, which can turn into an all-day experience.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Where to stay<\/strong><\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39448 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/secret-bay-resort.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/secret-bay-resort.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/secret-bay-resort-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/secret-bay-resort-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/secret-bay-resort-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<p>Many visitors opt to stay in Portsmouth, Dominica&#8217;s second largest city. Besides having a solid concentration of nice hotels, the town&#8217;s location on the north end of the island puts you close to some of the country&#8217;s best beaches and at the doorstep of Cabrits National Park. One standout resort here is the five-star&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Portsmouth-Hotels-Secret-Bay.h4748737.Hotel-Information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Secret Bay Resort<\/a>, set on a cliff overlooking the sea.
