From Pemba airport we transfer clients by Helicopter or Light Aircraft to Quilálea island.
Helicopter - 4 passengers and takes 25 min to Quilálea helipad - $250.p.p one way!
Aircraft - 4 passengers - takes 20 min to Quirimba airstrip, followed by 10 min drive to the beach and the boat that will take you to Quilálea - $140 pp one way!
Only 15 kg of soft luggage (including hand luggage) is allowed. Excess luggage will be left behind at the Q office and sent on the next available flight.
Helipad GPS coordinates are S12.29.31 E040.36.15
Quirimba Runway coordinates are S12.25.54 E040.36.30
A ONE WAY transfer will be complimentary for a 7 day stay for clients on the Rack Rate (Not the SADC rates)
One problem area. All flights from Dar, with LAM, will arrive too late for direct transfers to Quilálea. Clients will need to spend the first night at Pemba Beach Hotel and be transferred early the next morning to Quilálea.
The other option is a Kiraku yacht transfer - Clients will be collected from the airport and spend the night in on Wimbe Beach mooring with dinner on the yacht. They will start sailing for Quilálea at first light. $1000 for the overnight yacht transfer includes meals and can take up to 2 couples.
VISAS
Immigration clearance is available at Pemba airport and visas can
be issued on arrival. South African residents do not need visas
MALARIA FREE
Quilálea is malaria-free. There is no open water on the island
and hence, nowhere for mosquitoes to breed. However,
malaria is prevalent in Mozambique and it is recommended that visitors
travelling through the country, take anti-malarial prophylactics.
The best precaution is to avoid being bitten by using mosquito nets
and repellent spray, and wearing protective clothing.
WATER
All the water (including drinking water) on Quilálea is provided
via a desalination plant and stored in subterranean tanks, hence
the water is safe to drink.
