Dominica has two airports – Douglas-Charles Airport (DOM), located on the northeastern side of the island about an hour north of the capital city, Roseau, and Canefield Airport (DCF) on the west coast. However, a new option, Dominica International Airport, is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in 2026.
There are no direct flights from the UK or Europe to the island, whilst the US only has a direct flight from Miami, Florida. The only other way to access Dominica directly is from another Caribbean Island. Although, there are regional and international connections via ferry operator, L’Express Des IIes, from Saint Lucia, and the French Islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique.
Dominica’s ferry port in Roseau provides three daily and 17 weekly sailings, with the fastest route taking two hours from Martinique’s Fort de France port.
The most efficient mode of transport around the island is by car or taxi. Sonar Car Rentals allows visitors to explore easily, conveniently, and comfortably. Alternatively, there is a reliable bus service, depending on the destination.
Hiking is another excellent way to get around and sightsee simultaneously, with numerous trails for various ability levels. Indeed, Dominica is the Caribbean’s top destination for a walking holiday with its varied canvas of contrasting landscapes, hence earning the nickname “Nature Island of the Caribbean”.
