Getting There & Around
How to Get to Amber Island
Boat charters and day-trip operators from the east coast of Mauritius (Trou d’Eau Douce, Grande Gaube) run excursions to small offshore islands. Arrange transfers through licensed operators; private landings may be subject to local regulations.
Tips for Visiting Amber Island
- Arrange boat transfers through licensed operators in Grand Bay or Trou d'Eau Douce; some tours can include snorkeling stops around the island.
- Carry cash for local boat operators-card facilities are uncommon on small charter boats.
- Respect coral and reef rules: many local operators ask visitors not to touch or stand on coral.
