Welcome To Dominica



The National Bank Of Dominica  welcomes you to The Nature Island Of The Caribbean Dominica. The best place for a time of relaxation, pleasure and fun. Nestled between the French islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe, is a little piece of paradise. Spawning just 290 square miles, Dominica packs in cascading waterfalls, towering mountain peaks, historical sites, sparkling beaches, world-class underwater experiences, and unspoilt nature at its best. Boasting a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the second-largest boiling lake in the world, it is no wonder that Dominica has earned the title "Nature Island of the Caribbean".

Dominica is a destination for nature lovers, for hikers, scuba divers, culture vultures, and those who are looking for peace, relaxation and a place to recharge. Hundreds of hiking trails criss-cross the island, and the 200km Wai’tukubuli National Trail is a mouthwatering prospect for serious trekkers. Dominica’s scuba diving is some of the best in the eastern Caribbean, whales and dolphins are off the coast all year round, and the Kalinago Territory and cultural events such as Creole, Carnival and Independence make this a fascinating place for those interested in heritage and the arts.

Culturally, the island is home to the largest indigenous group in the Caribbean. Located on 3,700 acres, Kalinago Territory is home to over 3,000 Kalinagos, formerly known as Caribs. Visitors can learn about their culture and history through home stays, tours, cuisine, crafts and canoe building passed down from generation to generation.

The beaches in Dominica are mostly grey sandy beaches and some offer some diving snorkeling and swimming opportunities as the rivers and lakes offer kayaking, tubing boating to water enthusiasts.

Cultural celebrations are a wonderful time to visit the island to learn about Creole and African influences on the island which are still evident in traditional dress and music such as Soca and Calypso and local cuisine.

There are historic areas as well which help educate visitors about the rich African, British and French influences, from restored forts and museums, to historic walking tours of the capital city of Roseau.

 

Dominicans are proud of their island’s natural beauty, cultural heritage and rich history and welcomes you to visit their "Nature Isle of the Caribbean". For all your banking needs in Dominica, we would like to be your first choice. We would be glad to have you and serve you professionally
