Practical tips for Dominica
- The local currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar (XCD); carry cash as many rural shops, roadside vendors, and bush bars do not accept credit cards.
- Shared route minivans are an affordable and scenic way to get around, but hiring a 4WD vehicle gives you the freedom to tackle steep mountain roads.
- Greeting people with a polite 'Good morning' or 'Good afternoon' before starting any conversation is an essential part of local etiquette.
