Park at the designated parking area near the beach and inquire about boat services to the island.

Once you arrive in Uvita, head to the beach area on foot. From there, you can find local boat operators who offer rides to Uvita Island. Be prepared to pay a small fee for the boat ride, which typically costs around $5-10 per person, depending on the operator.

• Boat Transfer

  If you are already in Uvita, you can easily find boat services at the beach. Look for signs indicating boat transfers to Uvita Island. The boat ride takes about 10-15 minutes. Ensure you confirm the return schedule with your boat operator. It's advisable to check the weather conditions before the ride, as it can affect the service availability.
