Getting To and Around Dominica

As a burgeoning Caribbean destination, flying to Dominica couldn’t be easier. International flights from Europe can connect to the island via neighbouring regions including Antigua, Barbados, Martinique, St Maarten, Guadeloupe, and Trinidad.  

North American visitors can also make a one-stop connection from 42 cities in the region, predominantly flying from Miami International Airport (MIA) and landing at Douglas-Charles Airport (DOM) on the northeastern side of the island. Dominica’s second smaller gateway, Canefield Airport (DCF), is just a 15-minute drive away from Roseau.   

From the air to the sea, the country also boasts two main ferry ports that welcome visitors from all over the world. The Roseau Ferry Terminal is the primary port for passenger ferries, conveniently located in the heart of the city. The Portsmouth Ferry Dock, meanwhile, is ideal for those wanting to explore the north of the island.  

Those choosing to take the ferry service can catch a ride from the islands of Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Saint Lucia. It is also worth noting that taking the ferry offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean.  

Be aware that an electronic immigration form must be completed no more than three days before arriving in Dominica. Additionally, travellers must provide evidence of a valid return ticket and sufficient funds to sustain themselves whilst they venture around the island.
