• Getting Here: Dominica is accessible via direct flights from Miami and Newark as well as from nearby islands such as Antigua, Barbados, and Guadeloupe.
• Packing Essentials: Pack lightweight, breathable clothing, sturdy hiking shoes, swimwear, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a reusable water bottle for island adventures.
• Currency: The Eastern Caribbean Dollar (XCD) is the official currency, but U.S. dollars are widely accepted. Carry some cash for local markets and smaller establishments.
