Frequently Asked Questions

Right downtown, along the waterfront. The gangway opens straight onto narrow streets lined with wooden balconies, painted tin roofs and creole facades weathered by the rain. Market, botanic gardens and cathedral are all within walking distance.
The old market and the creole lanes, the botanic gardens and the climb up Morne Bruce — about fifteen minutes on the Jack's Walk trail. With more time, Trafalgar Falls about twenty minutes away by road, or Champagne Reef seven kilometres south.
A cobbled square steps from the pier, which has traded its painful past — enslaved people were once sold here — for craft stalls. You will find Kalinago woven baskets, made by the Indigenous people who keep a territory on the island's east coast, along with bay leaf soaps, spices and hot sauces.
A curiosity left exactly as it fell in 1979: a baobab toppled by Hurricane David onto a school bus, thankfully empty that day, kept as a memorial. An aviary houses the sisserou parrot, the national emblem that appears on the flag.
Two waterfalls nicknamed the father and the mother, about twenty minutes by road up the Roseau valley, tumbling down a fern-covered wall. A viewing platform is reached by a short made path; the more agile continue to the pools, where warm volcanic spring water mingles with the cooler river.
A site where volcanic vents release strings of warm bubbles from the seabed: you literally swim in a glass of sparkling wine. Seven kilometres south of the pier, a few minutes by taxi, it suits snorkelling as much as diving — trumpetfish, sponges and turtles frequent the rocky bottom.
The East Caribbean dollar. US notes are accepted almost everywhere. Bring cash for the market and for the shared taxis at the pier exit: settle the price before setting off for Trafalgar or Champagne Reef.
English is Dominica's official language. You will also hear a French-based creole, a legacy of the island's history and the closeness of Guadeloupe and Martinique. The capital's name itself comes from the reeds French colonists found at the river mouth.
Wet, and worth planning for. Dominica is a green sponge standing out of the sea — locals say the island has three hundred and sixty-five rivers, one for each day of the year. Showers are frequent and brief: a light waterproof earns its place in any season.
No, and it is fairer to say so straight away. This is a volcanic island, green and mountainous, with dark sand and often rocky shores. Its riches lie elsewhere: rivers, waterfalls, hot springs and Morne Trois Pitons National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its volcanoes, gorges and boiling lake.
