Getting around the island means negotiating the narrow, twisting roadway that clings to the mountainside and rises from sea level to almost 2,000 feet. Although driving isn't difficult, be sure to go slowly and cautiously. If in doubt, leave the driving to a cabbie so you can enjoy the scenery.
The runway at the only place on the island that's flat enough for planes to land is one of the world's shortest. Only STOL (short takeoff and landing) prop planes dare land on the approximately 1,300-foot strip that's bookended by 100-foot drop offs into the crashing surf below. The airport also has a helipad.
