How To Get To Dominica | Arrival In Dominica | What To Do | Where To Stay

In this vlog, we fly from New York City to the island of Dominica, which is known as the Nature Island of the Caribbean and is located in the Southeastern Caribbean. This vlog will give you some ideas of what to do in Dominica, either when you first arrive or throughout your visit, and it will also give you a fabulous idea of where to stay in Dominica. * Please DO NOT CONFUSE DOMINICA WITH THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC* There are currently no non-stop options from New York to Dominica. The most direct options are to fly American Airlines from New York to Miami, then American Eagle from Miami to Dominica, OR to fly JetBlue from New York to San Juan, then Silver Air from San Juan to Dominica. To get to Dominica, we flew American Airlines from JFK to MIA, then from MIA to DOM. We chose this option because American arrives in Dominica at 1:30ish in the afternoon while the Silver Air connection offered through JetBlue arrives in Dominica after 5 PM. Since we already planned a short stay on the island, we wanted to maximize our time as soon as we landed, and we did pretty much that, as we got picked up from the airport and went right into a tour we booked through Waitukubuli Adventure Tour Company. Their tours have wonderful reviews, and they are often the company that TripAdvisor and Viator use for the tours they offer in Dominica. As you can see in the video, our tour included Trafalgar Falls, the Botanical Gardens, and Morne Bruce lookout point, then our arrival day tour concluded at our resort, Jungle Bay! Jungle Bay is a fantastic resort with a truly inspiring story, past, present, and my guess is future also! We look forward to sharing with you our experience from staying at Jungle Bay. Although this is not a cruise video, cruisers, please listen up because you may choose to visit this island by cruise ship! Yes, you can cruise to Dominica! We had previously booked one MSC and two Royal Caribbean cruises that were scheduled to port in Dominica, but those plans changed for various reasons, from itinerary changes due to Hurricane Maria, to cruise cancellation in March 2020 because of the obvious, and to itinerary changes earlier this year. So, for this May 2022 visit, we decided to fly to Dominica and spend a long weekend there. Yes, that’s right! We don’t only cruise, we fly to our vacation destinations and enjoy land vacations from time to time too.
