This is a process that takes some time. You will need to submit your passport and have them check up on all people who intend to visit the island. You will also be searched. Mostly concentrating on the fact that you are not allowed to bring alcohol or fishing equipment to the island as it is a protected zone. You will need to bring your own camping equipment and food for your time on the island (or arrange to have it provided). You will need to plan roughly 3 or 4 days prior to your trip to the island to set up the visit, then you will probably want to spend a night or 2 on the island to make it worth the visit.\u00a0 The boat would also need to stay with you in the event of an emergency.<\/p>\n<p>Because this is definitely one of the more \u201coff-the-beaten-path\u201d adventures, we encourage potential visitors\u00a0 to set up a private visit to the island with Club Nautique Tabarka directly.<\/p>\n<p>Club Nautique Tabarka<br \/>\n+216 92 017 746<br \/>\n+216 78 671 352<br \/>\nclubnautique60@gmail.com[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":7019,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,70,71],"tags":[100],"class_list":["post-7015","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-travel","category-tunisia-travel","category-what-you-will-see","tag-jalta"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
