By Plane
Duration: 1 hour and 25 mins
There are direct routes from Cartagena’s Rafael Nuñez International Airport (CTG) to Gustavo Rojas Pinilla International Airport (ADZ) on the island. Major domestic airlines like Viva Air and LATAM make flights daily that take about 1 hour and 25 minutes.
The island’s airport is a very small airport centered near the town, making it very easy to reach most accommodation locations on foot. If not, taxis are readily available outside the terminal, just be sure to use your negotiating skills for a reasonable price.
