How much does the ferry from Victoria to La Digue cost?

"How much is the ferry ticket from Victoria to La Digue?" has several answers, because the operators price the slow boat and the fast boat differently, charge separately for vehicles and cabins, and raise fares in high season. Haqqi Tours arranges the current cost for your travel date and party - foot passengers, seats or cabin - in a few minutes of receiving the form, and tells you which sailing is the best value.

The figure we send is the total: passengers, seats or cabin and port fees. If a slower sailing an hour later is cheaper, we say so; on this route the conventional ferry is frequently the best value for a family.
