When to go

Showers are possible throughout the year; adjust plans when storms are forecast and check road connections.

Things to see and do

Explore the centre and market, and add the botanical garden; choose mountain trails separately according to your fitness and the weather.

Practical tips

Waterfall trails can become more demanding after rain. Do not pack several distant hikes into a short city visit.

Getting there and getting around

Arrange your road transfer from the airport in advance, and confirm the exact airport of arrival.

Where to stay

Roseau is practical for town visits; for an early hike, accommodation closer to the trailhead may make sense.

What to try

Try fish, root vegetables and coconut dishes; seasonal fruit rounds out a simple lunch.
