Taxi & Car Rental

Taxis are easy to find at the airport or in the city centre of Roseau. You can recognize them by the letters H, HA or HB on their license plates. Seek out authorised taxis and agree on the fare with the driver beforehand. Black Cab Dominica is an essentially well-known and trusted provider with a wide range of services. Much like taxis, rental car services are plentiful in Roseau's centre. To rent a car, you'll need to buy a driver's permit, which will set you back around 12 USD. Keep in mind that in Dominica, driving is on the left side of the road. Given the island's hilly landscape, it's wise to proceed with care on the winding — albeit well-maintained — roads.

Best Time to Visit

Dominica enjoys a tropical climate with steady temperatures all year round, although it is considered one of the wetter islands of the Caribbean. The rainy season runs from around July to November, consequently the tourist high season more or less corresponds to the dry season and lasts from January to June. The crowds tend to dwindle around May and June, so if you're looking for peace and quiet, that's the time to visit.

Passport & Visa

All travellers must be in possession of a valid passport, return ticket and, in some cases, other forms of identification on arrival. Depending on your nationality, you may stay in Dominica without a visa for a specified period of time. For the Commonwealth of Nations and most European countries, this is usually six months but certain European countries fall into the three-month category. Those staying on the island for less than 24 hours, such as cruise ship passengers, also enjoy a visa exemption. For complete information on entry requirements, please contact the Passport and Immigration Department of Dominica.

Douglas–Charles Airport (DOM)

Douglas-Charles Airport (DOM) is the main airport of Dominica, just north of the city of Marigot and approximately 46 km from the capital, Roseau. It is a relatively small airport serving a small number of international flights, but it does offer some amenities such as car rental services and restaurants.

Roseau Cruise Ship Berth

With its central location, Roseau Cruise Ship Berth offers easy access to some tourist landmarks such as the Dominica Museum and an array of shops and restaurants. Exploring the local culture is effortless thanks to the iconic Old market and further market stalls inviting travellers to browse for souvenirs. Those eager to explore beyond can easily hail taxis and tour operators, who offer a variety of adventures to uncover the treasures of Nature Isle.

Public Transport

For those keen on exploring the island by bus, a host of private minibus services offer regulated, budget-friendly fares. While the service runs fairly regularly, be aware that you might have to flag down the bus yourself. Roseau serves as the central hub for most bus routes, but even smaller villages are well-connected through this transport option.
