Watching this video made me feel that the film makers really enjoyed their trips to Dominica and St. Vincent. But the video really didn't meet my expectations. There is a need for a first rate travel video of Dominica, but this effort falls well short. Unfortunately, the coverage of Dominica was quite weak, documenting what seems to have been about a four day trip that concentrated on waterfalls and roads traveled. There was almost no information about the environment, culture, or towns. I would have liked to see more about the foods, the history, birds and other wildlife, whales, snorkeling and diving, native handcrafts, and other things. There were really no useful travel trips. The coverage of St. Vincent is better though, but still would leave someone planning a trip to St. Vincent wanting much more. Also, the commentary could have been better if obvious statements were avoided and some research was done prior to the off the cuff remarks on the video. The informal style is a nice touch, but a lot more effort should have been devoted to putting together an informative video instead of just documenting some nice trips.

This DVD is a very nice surprise. I use the cycling journeys Bike-O-Vision produces so I got this travel dvd which they also produce.

This dvd takes you around both the southerly Caribbean islands of Dominica and St. Vincent. You see and hear about the jungle flora and fauna, the towns and seaside villages, the waterfalls with narratives from native islanders.

If you haven't been "down island" in the Caribbean yet this dvd is a glimpse into this new world and a great place to start. I liked the informal relaxed style and the tour gives a personalized adventure. It was like traveling with friends and invited me to see the islands myself. Another interesting view of Dominica and St. Vincent!
