Travel Tips
Book Flights in Advance**: Since Canouan is a smaller island, flights from Canefield (Dominica) may have limited availability. Book your tickets well in advance to secure the best rates and schedules.
Check Flight Times**: Be aware of the flight schedule, as the frequency of flights can vary. Aim to arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before your flight to allow time for check-in and security procedures.
Pack Light**: Given the size of the aircraft servicing Canouan, luggage restrictions may apply. Check your airline’s baggage policy and consider bringing only essential items in a carry-on to ease your travel experience.
Prepare for Transfers**: If your flight does not connect directly to Canouan, you may need to arrange for a boat transfer. Research and book any necessary ferry services in advance to avoid delays.
Travel Documents**: While both Dominica and Canouan (part of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines) do not require a visa for many nationalities, ensure you have a valid passport and any required health documentation, such as vaccination cards or negative COVID-19 tests, before traveling.
