Airplane, Bus and Boat are your friends!
Arriving from another country? Your trip will probably require several modes of transportation, but we're glad to help you find what works for you. Usually there is a combination of a flight, a boat ride and maybe a bus ride between them. But it's worth it! If you want to find a place that hasn't been spoiled by the busy world, you have to travel further than getting a taxi to the nearest five star hotel, right? |
