Getting There & Around

How to Get to Kwakéa

Access is by small inter-island boat from the main islands of the Banks and Torres groups; flights to the region land at larger bases followed by boat connections. Check local schedules and connect via provincial transport operators.

Tips for Visiting Kwakéa

  • Arrange any overnight stays or day visits through local accommodation providers on the Torres Islands - transport between islands is infrequent.
  • Bring snorkelling kit; the surrounding reef is excellent for shallow-water diving and has abundant marine life.
