YOUR PRACTICAL BRIEFING

Details that make
travel feel easier.

Getting around

Combine prearranged ground transfers with confirmed ferry or regional-air connections where relevant; always keep weather buffers.

03

When to travel

Conditions vary by island and season; sea state and tropical weather can affect boats and inter-island flights. Check the exact dates and local weather advice before departure.

04

Before departure

Check passport validity, visas, health requirements, insurance, baggage, currency, mobile connectivity, accessibility and official advisories for every country and transit point.
