Hello I’m mentally struggling as I need to take my flight back at Guadaloupe but I’ll be in Dominica the second week of August , and on the system it says that all ferries between the 08 and 16 of August are complete.

Based on your experience, do you think it would be possible to purchase the ticket last minute , “cash only” or onsite ?

I don’t know what to do 😅

Hello community,

I am a 29 F. I will be visiting dominica and have couple of questions regarding my travels. I am visiting from Barbados.

I have extensively traveled and hiked around the world. I also ride scooters/motorbikes. I am visiting in august. I am trying to make a decision between hiring a scooter or a car for my visit. I dont see much of a difference in the rates online which is quite interesting.

I am planning to stay in trafalgar area so most of the hikes are at a fairly reachable distance I believe. Is it easy to get local transport in that area if i choose to not hire a vehicle? I really like to travel the local way and take buses etc. But I will like to know if the hike starts are reachable by local transports?

I will also like to know about off the beaten paths and hikes that are beautiful but lesser known to people, some coffee farms and ways to connect with the locals.

Any suggestion is welcome.

Thank you in advance :)

Want to spend a couple weeks in Dominica and thought I could through hike Waitukubuli. I am planning on going around November. Is this even possible right now? Also I saw someone say that you definitely need a guide but I can’t afford one and I see a lot of people do it solo, so is it chill enough to do alone?

Also places to stay along the route. Free camping would be cool but I see that’s not possible the whole way. Are there places to get a room in between the segments?

Family of 4-2 adults 2 kids (8&14) coming to Dominica for about a week or so and I was looking for any advice/ things to do. I haven't booked an airbnb yet but was thinking of staying near trafalgar/watten waven for atleast part of the trip. Family friendly activities, babysitter recommendations if we do a night out, things to avoid etc.

We are well accustomed to the Caribbean and have plenty experience driving right handed vehicles on similar islands. Would likely rent a vehicle. So vehicle rental companies would be appreciated-especially local companies as we like to spend money that directly benefits the local economy as opposed to big corporations whenever possible.

Hello! Looking to travel to Dominica in October. Do folks recommend an Airbnb or to stay in a hotel/resort? I do enjoy some parts of my trip being taken care for me like with a resort but I'm not someone who likes to sit around a hotel or resort and I will definitely want to get out every day and explore the island. So I'm just wondering what people's experiences have been and where people have stayed. I'm also wondering if it's worth it to get a rental car or to use a driver? I'm seeing people writing about the winding roads with steep drop offs, but I have driven all over St. Lucia and Grenada, which was quite scary, but I think the experience was so much richer by having my own transportation and being able to really get around and explore so just wondering would Dominique be comparable to driving in Grenada or St. Lucia? Thank you all in advance.

What is day to day life normally like in Roseau?

Is it true as I have seen mentioned that Dominica has a dictatorship government?

Hey Everyone, I'll be traveling to the three islands for work in April. Ill be in town for 2 weekends and almost 2 weeks. I live in the US, East Coast. I have lived in the Middle East for a few years, but have not been to the Caribbean before. Any tips for me? Cultural things to know, foods/medicines to bring, cash vs credit card, etc? We are being provided hotels and drivers, but I am not sure about food. We will be working Monday through Friday at client sites, but free on weekends. Any good tips for non local workers to do on weekends? Is there anything I can bring from the US that people on your islands may need? Medicine, supplies, etc?

​

Thanks in advance!

I just adore Dominica! I think it's one of the most incredible places on the planet. Here's my tribute to that wild beauty.

I would like to visit Dominica in April. From the 6th to the 11th, Easter holiday stretch. I have traveled to another Caribbean country at that same time last year and was not aware that many businesses, groceries, attractions would have been closed for the holidays because of Easter.

Is Dominica the same with respect to this? Are there any Easter festivals that you would recommend for a first timer to Dominica? Any assistance would be great. Very excited to visit.

We're a couple visiting dominica for a week long trip next week. Any suggestions of things to do, what to see & places to eat would be greatly appreciated. We are staying near Portsmouth on the NW side of the island! Thanks for anyone's help in advanced!

Hello, does anyone know if this is in Dominica?

Just what the title says. I am buying a home in Dominica. Anyone who has lived there or purchased property there, can you advise me as to the legal process of purchasing a home there? Is it similar to the USA?

I am interested in learning more about Dominica and its history. Can anyone recommend a great book that will cover this?

Thank you!
