RENTAL SCOOTER

There are no motorbike rental shops in Cape Yamu, so if you prefer moving around on two wheels, it is recommended to rent a scooter in other popular tourist locations. Take into account that you must always have an international drivers license on your person at all times, otherwise, the local police can issue you a ticket with a summons to appear in court. And, of course, make sure you wear a helmet.

TAXI

As Cape Yamu is a private peninsula, there are no taxis scurrying along the streets, but you can always ask your villa manager to require a pick-up by phone.
