Getting there

Plan a realistic island route

Group stops by coast or valley, allow for mountain-road journey times and verify current site conditions before departure.

  1. Choose an area first.Group nearby places instead of crossing the island repeatedly.
  2. Check road and trail conditions.Rain can affect river levels, unpaved access roads and walking routes.
  3. Allow more driving time.Dominica’s roads are mountainous and journey time matters more than distance.
  4. Confirm passes or guides.Some eco-sites require a site pass; remote routes are safer with a knowledgeable local guide.
