CommentsLauralee Omar says... Not quite as thorough as the Lonely Planet Diving in Puerto Rico, but very helpful for deciding where to start. An added bonus is the short chapter describing inland hikes in Dominica, an island as stunning above water as below. I like the organization or these guides, with excellent icons placed conspicuously to help me skip what I don't need to know. Posted on December 11, 2010 Maricruz Ponder 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. Posted on December 11, 2010 Candelaria Uziel says... Dominica was a beautiful island but this guide was not all that helpful and some info. was outdated or incorrect. Posted on December 11, 2010 Anna Nyquist 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 December 12, 2010 Keith Hovatter says... Good guide except that we couldn't find one of the snorkling sites described just by following their directions. Posted on December 12, 2010 Margart Boring 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 December 15, 2010 Vi Berkbigler 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 December 15, 2010 Silas Cima says... With so few informative guides available on Dominica, this guide is truly a gem written about a gem of an island.Descriptions of some of the finest and most unusual dives in the Caribbean, including down the crater of a volcano and through hot bubbling springs called "Champagne."Thesea life in Dominica is more prolific and untouched than anywhere else inthe Caribbean and this guide tells you EVERYTHING you need to know aboutgetting to this offbeat destination, staying there, and seeing the sitesboth above and below water. Posted on December 16, 2010 Bertha Behrens 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 December 16, 2010 Audra Geimer 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 December 23, 2010 Leave a Comment |
