To reach Nainativu Island, you must take a bus or tuk tuk from Jaffna to the Kurikadduwan Jetty, which takes about an hour. From the jetty, you catch a local ferry boat.

The ferry ride itself takes about 15 to 20 minutes across the water. It is a highly authentic experience, taking you to an island rich with incredible biodiversity and beautiful, sacred temples.
