Walking
From any location in Alimatha Island, head towards the main beach area. Follow the paths leading away from the beach towards the eastern side of the island. Continue walking straight for about 15-20 minutes until you reach the area known for snorkeling. Aunty Reef is located off the coast here. Make sure to ask locals for directions as they are familiar with the paths leading to Aunty Reef.
Boat
If you prefer to reach Aunty Reef by boat, you can arrange a small local boat from the main dock in Alimatha Island. Speak to the local fishermen or boat operators about a trip to Aunty Reef. The cost of a private boat ride can vary, but expect to pay around $30-$50 USD for a round trip. The boat ride usually takes about 10-15 minutes, depending on the sea conditions.
