Arrival
It’s a short Cessna Caravan hop from the capital, Dar Es Salaam, followed by a drive across the charming island of Mafia, to your boat, tethered on a sandy beach, the tufted island of Chole clearly visible across the azure waters. There are regular flights to Mafia from virtually everywhere in Tanzania; flight time from Dar Es Salaam is around 30 minutes (45 from Zanzibar). For information on flight times and costs, visit www.coastal.co.tz & www.auricair.com. The transfer by road and boat to the island will take approximately 30 minutes.
Note that entry to the Mafia Island Marine Park costs US$23.6 per person/day; you will need to prepay this amount on entering the Park. Payment can only be made by CARD! Prices can fluctuate, so please check when booking.
