The Morne Trois Pitons National Park was declared a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site in 1997 and is home to a volcanically heated boiling lake, sulphur springs, waterfalls and a narrow gorge. Dominica is considered the whale watching capital of the Caribbean: Every year from November to March, whales, especially sperm whales, are said to be excellent to watch here.
