Not
certain what to do, where to go,
how to
do it while on Dominica?
Please inquire with
us; we have several very good contacts on island that can
provide you "local" information, about sight-seeing, hikes,
beaches, scuba diving and other attractions.
As well, we can
provide suggestions for arranging transportation to and from the
airport and other Dominica destinations. Need a local cell
phone? We can assist with that, too!
Arriving at the Airport and the Journey to Villa Vidal
We strongly
suggest… if you have little or no experience driving on Dominica
that you hire transport from the airport to Villa Vidal,
especially if your flight is arriving around 4:30 pm or later in
the afternoon. Driving on Dominica is very challenging,
especially at night, even more so if you are not certain of your
destination.
We can assist
in making arrangements to have you picked up from the airport
and or a taxis can be obtained as soon as you exit customs.
Expect transportation cost from the airport to Villa Vidal to be
approximately $45-$60 US. The trip will take approximately 1:15 to
1:45 minutes, IF being transported by a local driver.
(Once arrived
at the airport, expect to add on a least 30 minutes, or more,
for getting through customs, collecting your luggage, etc.,
longer if filling out car rental paperwork… before you ever
leave the vicinity of the airport.)
If you are
planning on renting a car, please know that arrangements can be
made to have one dropped off at Villa Vidal and or some rental
companies will pick you up and bring you to Roseau (Dominica’s
capital city – about a 30 minute ride) to get your car in the
daylight! Please inquire.
Driving on
Dominica is not for the faint-of-heart and demands serious
attention and concentration. Note that traffic drives on the
LEFT side of the road here; consequently, car steering wheels
are located on the RIGHT side of the vehicle. If arriving from
America or other countries where traffic moves on the right,
this is exactly the opposite of what you are used to and
is trickier than you might expect.
