SEA FERRY

There are also 2 ferry services linking Dominica with the neighbouring islands, L'Express des Iles (to Roseau Ferry Terminal) and Jeans ferry (to Portsmnouth Terminal). and they run about 5 days a week, linking St. Lucia, Guadeloupe and Martinique with Dominica. Their schedules are subject to regular change, so you should check their websites or call their agent in Dominica at Whitchurch Travel Agency on telephone number 1 767 448 2181 and ask for the ferry desk.

Whether you arrive at one of the airports, or at the ferry terminal, there are normally plenty of taxis waiting. Whichever your port of entry, the journey time is around an hour, and expect to pay between EC$150 / US$60 and EC$ 240 / US$ 90 for your taxi, depending where you arrive. Alternatively, there are buses, and hitchiking works well enough
