Discover the Enchantment of Sailors Island

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, start from Gizo, the capital of Western Province. Head southwest on the main road toward the southern coast. Follow the signs to Nusa Tupe, which will take approximately 30 minutes. Once you reach Nusa Tupe, you will need to arrange for a boat transfer to Sailors Island. This transfer can typically be arranged through local boat operators near the beach. Expect to pay around $20 to $30 for this boat ride, depending on the size of your group and the boat used.

• Public Transportation (Bus and Boat)

  For those using public transportation, catch a local bus from Gizo to Nusa Tupe. Buses leave frequently throughout the day and the fare is usually around $5. Once you arrive at Nusa Tupe, you'll need to hire a boat to Sailors Island. Look for local fishermen or tour operators who can provide a boat ride, which should cost between $20 and $30. Make sure to negotiate the price beforehand and confirm the timing for your return trip.

• Private Boat Charter

  If you prefer a more direct route, consider booking a private boat charter from Gizo directly to Sailors Island. This option can be more expensive, typically ranging from $100 to $150 depending on the size of the boat and number of passengers. It offers flexibility in terms of departure times and allows for a scenic journey across the waters of the Western Province.
