Getting Here

Timing

All boat transfers are done 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM. If you are arriving later than that you will need to spend the night and we will pick you up the next morning. On our links page are listed some hotels we have stayed at and recommend. 

If you have an early 6:30 arrival time, we will not be able to meet you at the airport. You can go to a local restaurant and we will meet you 7:30-8:00. 

If flying, the best arrival and departure times are from 9 to 9:30 am. If you have a late afternoon flight we will need to take you to town by 9:00.

From Drake Bay

If coming from Drake Bay or Chackarita by bus we can pick you up at Playa Blanca on the beach. This can save you (and us) hours of travel time. Get off the bus in La Palma and take a taxi to Playa Blanca
