Untouched and unspoiled, Dominica is a filmmaker’s paradise. It offers a variety of beautiful scenic and exotic locations. Known as the Nature Island of Dominica, the island offers jungle and swamp locations, grasslands, mangroves, reeds and mudflats, lush virgin rain forests, cascading rivers, waterfalls and fresh water lakes, one of which is the only boiling lakes existing in the world today. Not forgetting it’s beautiful black and golden sand beaches, dramatic coastlines, towering mountains, unique Creole Architecture and the list goes on and on.
