We provide complimentary transfers to MV Gattino using speedboats parked at various jetties along the Trikora beach area. The location of the jetty depends on the tide. Sometimes, the tide is just too low to use any of the jetties, we would need to wade into the shallow waters along Trikora beach to board the speedboat. So it would be best to wear shorts and sandals when coming to any of Gattino's trips!
