You can hire a boat here, berth your own, or cast off in a kayak for something a bit more adventurous. d’Albora Marinas offers fuel during business hours, and dockmaster assistance.

Akuna Bay also features great facilities for a pre-departure picnic, with a public barbecue and ample tables for everyone. There are also some great dining options there. Alternatively, you can enjoy some light refreshments at the d'Albora Marinas Akuna Bay general store. Or indulge in a long and lazy Sunday lunch feast with friends and family at Pilu at Akuna Bay.
