Roseau is walkable, but Dominica's highlights (Trafalgar Falls, Titou Gorge, Emerald Pool, Champagne Reef) are rainforest and reef trips best done with a guide.
Where ships dock
- Roseau Cruise Ship Berth (Bayfront, downtown)
- Woodbridge Bay Port (about 1.5 miles north of downtown)
Getting to town
The Roseau berth is right on the Bayfront: the Old Market and downtown are a few minutes' walk. Woodbridge Bay is about 1.5 miles from downtown, so take a taxi.
Taxis and licensed tour drivers meet ships. Fares vary, so agree the price and return time before leaving. Many tour operators list pickup at both berths.
Fares are as reported by the sources below and change often. Treat them as estimates.
