Before choosing where to stay
Getting Around
There is no airport. Access relies on ferries to the mainland. Due to unreliable schedules caused by water levels, allow extra time and consider alternative local transport options.
Best Season
The dry season is ideal for visits, as ferry services are more stable and the port operates normally, ensuring smoother travel to and from the mainland.
