Where can I buy tickets for the ferry or perhaps make a reservation? I only found the schedule online.

@Alena: And if you book a room at the Hilton, do they not provide free transportation?

@Alena: The uniqueness of Silhouette is that there are no outsiders on the island.

@Alena: If you book a room at the Hilton Labriz, the ferry is provided for free. You will need to arrange and pay for the transfer to it from the airport or another location yourself.

@Lyubov': Yes, we had the same experience. They have their own dock, you arrive there, relax, have a welcome drink, and then sail to the island by ferry.

@Alena: as your experience has shown, you could have paid even more on the spot;) So sometimes it's easier to pay for all services at once, rather than later going to find out and figure it out;)

@Lyubov': I think it depends on the special offer and the agent you are booking the hotel with.

@Katya: If you read the recent reviews on TripAdvisor, you will see that many people complain about the paid transfer.

@Alena: That's the thrill of it. And there are wild beaches nearby where no one is around all day. You lie there alone, having a blast.

@Alena: The ferry departs from La Brise Jetty Bel Ombre at 10:00 and at 16:00 (from Silhouette to Mahé at 9 and at 15) and costs approximately 120 € per person one way (including taxes). To make a reservation, you need to contact the Hilton hotel.

@Lyubov': It seems that way, because the helicopter company employees were also immediately sure that the transfer was always included. But everyone called Hilton one by one and were told that it is a separate paid service.

@Katya: I think the agent in Russia simply included the transfer price upfront. We also included the return transfer upfront when paying for the tour here. And by the way, when we paid the agent in Russia, this transfer ended up being slightly more expensive than if we had paid for the ferry and called a taxi to the airport ourselves.

@Svetlana: Well, I messed up there myself. I needed to double-check a large sum on the website, but I relaxed in the sun instead) Actually, discrepancies can occur not only in the bills for dinners and minibars in different countries, and buying a tour from an agent doesn't always help). Of course, it's easier to just buy a package tour with all transfers included and not worry, but usually booking separate parts is much more profitable (by the way, I booked Labriz specifically with the operator, as it was cheaper than the aggregators). And the helicopter transfer was 1.5 times more expensive with payment from home than on the spot, for example.
