Destination information
In addition to the ferry, you can reach the island by boat or kayak. It is easy to land a kayak on the island, because the northern shores are very shallow. There are mooring buoys and hooks for those arriving by boat. A boat can be sidemounted to a wind breaker in the island’s sheltered guest harbour. Camping is permitted on the island.
Accessibility
There are no actual accessible services on the island. Moving about on the island is fairly easy due to the flat rock surfaces. The route from the ferry harbour to the guest harbour is easy terrain.
