There are no direct flights to Dominica from Europe or the United States. You will need to visit another island first. You may then catch a commuter plane or boat to Dominica.
While there is a limited bus service on Dominica, the easiest way to get around the island is by renting a car or motorcycle. You can rent a car for around $50 per day.
Dominica's currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar. Most shops and taxi drivers will accept United States currency, however.
Locals drive very fast on roads that are not well-maintained; take care when driving. Also hotels charge a 10 percent VAT tax that sometimes is including in the quoted price; be sure to ask when booking.
One of the island's most popular places is Morne Trois Pitons National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It's a 17,000-acre expanse of rain forest and beautiful mountains.
