With immediate effect, Benguerra Lodge is offering clients the option of a helicopter or plane transfer for the hop between Vilanculos and the Island.

CFA plane transfer:
US$ 210 per person return, including US$ 10 pp domestic departure tax (subject to weather and runway conditions – if not possible, a boat transfer or chargeable upgrade to helicopter will be offered with prior notification).

Alpine Aviation helicopter transfer:
US$ 300 per person return, excluding US$ 10 pp domestic departure tax charged with other extras at the Lodge (available throughout the year).

Helicopter transfers already confirmed for travel in April will be honoured @ US$ 250 per person return, but all new bookings and clients arriving from the 1st of May onwards will be re-invoiced at the new fare.
