Getting to Aore Island

Getting to Aore Island is simple when everything is organised in advance. From airport pickup to shopping stops and boat transfers, everything connects smoothly so you can move from arrival to island without delays.

Airport Transfers to Aore Island

Arriving into Pekoa Airport, your transfer will be ready to take you straight to Santo Wharf, Aore Island, or your accommodation. We keep it simple. No waiting, no confusion, just a smooth and reliable transfer so you can get on with your stay.

Optional Shopping Stop

If you need supplies before heading to Aore, you can add a stop in Santo town. Visit Santo Hardware, supermarkets, and local stores for food, drinks, or building items. There are no proper shops on Aore Island, so this is your best chance to get what you need before crossing. Boats run regularly between Santo Wharf and Aore Island Monday to Friday, so after shopping you can head straight to the wharf and continue on without long waits.

Boat Transfer to Aore Island

Pre-booked boat transfers depart from Smugglers Bar (Aqua Bar) at Santo and take you directly across to Aore Island. From there, we can arrange a drop-off straight to the house. In good weather, we may take you directly by our own boat for a smoother, more direct arrival.
  • The house is approximately a 20-minute walk from the landing point, but island transport can be arranged if you prefer to walk
Simple, flexible, and easy  from wharf to your door.

Our island taxi service takes you from the landing point straight to your accommodation or around the island as needed.
