How to get to Banana Island
Banana Island is situated 40km south of Freetown, Sierra Leone. The closest point to cross to the island is Kent, but advance notice is essential for a boat to be arranged on time. From Kent, the boat trip takes between 15 to 30 minutes depending on the vessel used ($15). Alternatively, a speedboat shuttle can pick up guests from Aberdeen in Freetown.
Daltons Banana Guesthouse operates a fleet of six boats and provides various transfer services from Kent, Tokeh, John Obey, and other beaches up to Freetown. Traveling from the airport, the easiest and most economical option is to pre-arrange a taxi drop-off at Kent ($70), followed by the short boat ride to the island. All boat transfers must be pre-booked. For up-to-date prices and reservations, please call or WhatsApp +232 76 278120
