How to get there
The pin on the map is approximate: trust these directions instead.
About 35 minutes by boat from the small fishing port of Youpwé, in Douala.
Good to know
- Who to go with
- In a group rather than alone, and if possible with someone who knows the way.
- What to bring
- A life jacket for the crossing: ask for one before you board. Do not cross in bad weather, and agree on the price of the boat before you leave.
