How to get there
Only accessible by boat. About 10km off the coast from Bourake. From the Bourake wharf, you can either use your own boat if you're lucky enough to have one or hitch hike on a local boat going for the traditional weekend 'islet camping' trip. Not likely on very windy days however, as locals tend to like calm weather when going boating. Or take a taxi boat. Expensive but the best bet. Book in advance with one of the companies.
