Traveller Tips
  • Confirm your charter flight booking well in advance as schedules are irregular and seat availability is very limited.
  • Bring sufficient cash as there are no ATMs or banking facilities on the island.
  • Pack light — small aircraft serving this route typically have strict baggage weight limits.
  • Coordinate your ground transfer with your accommodation before arrival as there is no organised transport at the airstrip.
