Diu Getting there & around

Getting around

Travelling by autorickshaw anywhere in Diu Town should cost no more than Rs 20. To Nagoa beach pay Rs 40 and to Sunset Point, Rs 25. Shared autorickshaws to Ghoghla cost Rs 10 per person. Note that rickshaw-wallahs in Una are unable to proceed further than the bus station (Rs 75), so cannot take you all the way to Nagoa Beach (an additional Rs 50).

Mopeds are a perfect option for exploring the island – the roads are deserted and in good condition. The going rate per day is Rs 100 for a moped (plus fuel). Motorcycles and scooters cost Rs 150 to 200. Most hotels arrange mopeds, although quality varies. Try Kismat (252971; 9am-7pm Mon-Sat, to 1pm Sun), which also rents bicycles (Rs 15 per day), or friendly Auto Servicing Works (252824; Raberi Rd; 9am-10pm), opposite the petrol pump. A Rs 200 to 1000 deposit is usually required.

Local buses from Diu Town to Nagoa and Vanakbara leave from the Jethibai bus stand at 7am, 11am and 4pm. From Nagoa, they depart for Diu Town from near the police post at 1pm, 5.30pm and 7pm (Rs 5).
