Welcome to Chole Island Excursion

Just a short, scenic boat ride from Mafia Island lies Chole Island—a quiet treasure rich in history, natural beauty, and cultural charm. Step ashore and be transported back in time as you wander through ancient ruins, where coral-stone walls and weathered archways whisper stories of a once-thriving trading post. As you explore, you’ll encounter Chole’s lush interior, home to a remarkable fruit bat sanctuary.

The experience continues at a traditional boatyard, where skilled craftsmen shape wooden boats using time- honored techniques passed down through generations—a living tribute to Chole’s maritime heritage. Your day ends with a peaceful sundowner at a local ocean-view bar, where you can relax with a drink and take in the golden hues of the setting sun over the archipelago.
