Getting There

Boat

To reach the Floating Bar & Restaurant, start your journey at the Lamu Old Town waterfront. From there, you can easily find local boat operators offering rides. Approach any boat captain and ask for a ride to the Floating Bar & Restaurant, which is located on the Indian Ocean. The ride usually takes about 15-20 minutes. Be sure to negotiate the fare before you board. Enjoy the scenic views of the coast while you travel.
Dhow

For a more traditional experience, consider hiring a dhow, a local sailing vessel. You can find dhows at the Lamu Old Town harbor. Speak to the dhow captain about your destination and agree on a price. This option may take longer, around 30 minutes, but it offers a unique way to enjoy the ocean. Make sure to ask about any scheduled trips or if they can arrange a private charter.
Water Taxi

Another convenient option is to take a water taxi, which can be found at various points in Lamu. Water taxis are faster than traditional dhows and will get you to the Floating Bar & Restaurant in approximately 10-15 minutes. Head to the nearest water taxi stop, which is often marked or can be pointed out by locals, and inform the driver of your destination.
