| Adventure Guide Dominica St Lucia Adventure Guides SeriesPosted on April 27, 2011.  An in-depth guide to these highly popular English-speaking Caribbean islands by the author of our top-selling Virgin Islands Adventure Guide.

St. Lucia is More Developed, goal IS breathtaking in icts beauty, With hi peaks and azure-blue bays dotted With colorful boats. Town and Regional maps, color photos, fully indexed.CommentsLamont Warfel says... I'm on my way to Dominica as I write. Jonathan Bird's book arrived in my hands too late to influence my plans, but it wouldn't have changed much. The pictures are lovely, especially the under-water shots, but the text is less than meager. This is a photo album, not in any way a guide to Dominica either for a tourist or for an aesthetic traveler. I "humbly" expect to take photos on land that will match Mr. Bird's technically, and will have more meaning in the form of resonance with my memories of the actual places. The under-water pictures are beyond my skill, and earn the four stars I'm giving this book. Posted on April 27, 2011 Kasandra Cataquet says... Good guide except that we couldn't find one of the snorkling sites described just by following their directions. Posted on April 29, 2011 Carita Schutte says... Paul deserves a chair on the board of directors at each and every Guide publishing company. his book is THAT good. I just arrived in Dominica and I always refers to his book when I'm visiting the island. Everything is there with all the needed information. The truth is, native Domincans you'll meet on your journeys keep praising Paul, saying he deserves a Dominican medal for his extensive and amazing work. Get that book to visit Dominca, you won't need any other one. Posted on April 29, 2011 Jaime Lacher says... Dominica was a beautiful island but this guide was not all that helpful and some info. was outdated or incorrect. Posted on May 1, 2011 Kylee Merbaum says... Informative, step by step, you actually can visualize walking the streets as explained in detail.All areas of the island were clearly covered.This guide was just what I needed to learn about the country before visiting. Posted on May 1, 2011 Robbi Brookens says... Actually the only real current guide I was able to find to Dominica. But it was great for our recent visit to this wonderful island. It was very accurate and useful describing hikes we took to Middleham Falls, Syndicate, Boiling Lake, Cabrits, Scotts Head and covering the towns of Portsmouth and Rosseau.It would improve with an index to the businesses, hotels and restaurants.Paul has done a good job---Rik Posted on May 2, 2011 Krishna Ladt says... Having traveled extensively in the Caribbean over the years and invested heavily in Guide Books Mr Crasks book and the island of Dominica came as unexpected and hugely pleasant surprises. The book is stuffed with all the information needed and quickly gets across that the island is different from the rest of the other dirty, expensive run of the mill islands. We hiked on the island and Mr Crask correctly points out the challenges. He rates the hikes and gives accurate and necessary advice about the need for guides and the difficulty of some of the hikes. I am British. Mr Crask is British.I think, perhaps, that is an advantage I have over American readers. He expresses his likes and dislikes with a British subtlety that is not always obvious, but his opinions came across loud and clear to me. And they were good opinions! Let's hope Mr Crask extends his efforts to some of the other islands Posted on May 3, 2011 Aracely Buchmann says... An in-depth guide to these highly popular English-speaking Caribbean islands by the author of the top-selling Virgin Islands Adventure Guide. Dominica is unique in that it was never farmed over; it remains jungle-covered, mountainous and the only island still occupied by the original Carib Indians. St. Lucia is more developed, but is breathtaking in its beauty, with high peaks and azure-blue bays dotted with colorful boats. The guide contains town and regional maps, color photos, and is fully indexed. Posted on May 4, 2011 Phylis Shoemaker says... We just returned from Dominica (October 2005), having foolishly taken this book along as our sole guide.Difficult to believe the author has visited the island, with sketchy information about much of it. Examples:Douglas Bay is described as having a shady beach, which is almost nonexistent, with half a dozen palms centered on a rocky coastal bay more than a mile long.Chaudiere pool, one of the most beautiful places on the island, is not mentioned. Poor organization is made worse by a weak index.The topics "waterfalls" and "rivers" do not appear, and the term "Carib tribes" is out of alphabetical order, for example. Pleasant reading for the flavor of the island, but don't take it with you for real exploration of this beautiful gem. Posted on May 4, 2011 Arlie Holthaus says... Excellent maps and descriptions of hikes, places to explore and snorkel/dive sites. Restaurants, places to stay and some history of the island make this a very thorough guidebook.
