## Insider tips

- _Insider_: Arrange your boat transfer in advance with your lodge or host, as you need a short boat ride from the airstrip to Ailigandí island, with no walk-up options at hand.
- _Time_: Coordinate flight times closely with your boat pickup; delays can leave you waiting in hot, service-free conditions.
- _Money_: Carry cash in small denominations (USD); there are no ATMs and Ailigandí operates on a cash-only basis.
- _Local_: Respect local customs upon arrival; photography and drone use require permission within the Guna community.
- _Quiet_: Landing in Ailigandí often means stepping into a serene landscape rather than a bustling airport terminal, offering immediate immersion in natural tranquility.
- _Time_: Build slack into your travel schedule, as flights to Guna Yala are subject to weather-induced delays.
- _Local_: The boat ride from the airstrip is a quick scenic tour with views of mangroves and Guna houses, arguably more of an experience than just a transfer.
