Hey y'all,
It's not so much the best way to get there, it's the only way to get there. There are no hotels or resorts, just cray fisho's villages. You cannot camp out on any island unless you get permission first from the "owner". A lot of it is sanctuary zoned.
The only way is to either go by charter boat from Gero and stay on the boat, or fly out to the Islands on a small plane and hook up with a charter or friends who may be out there.
There seems to be a few charter companys who venture out there, mainly fishing and diving but also surfing. It's a kiters paradise really, all of the islands are about 1m high which means glassy conditions on just about ever6y island on the leeward side. Any island SW or west of the group will have good surf.
The islands just "appear" from no where from the bottom so swell comes from deep water and then just hits instant reef. From 100m of water to 50 and then to a couple of metres in the shortest distance. The dives around the abrolhos are mostly along deep "drop offs" that resemble under water cliffs encrusted with coral and infested with sea life.
Locals reckon best time to go is around now as all summer the wind blows it's ya ya's off, crazy windy! We had between 10 and 25 knots mostly as well as three days of total glass off of the entire ocean. Like a friggin mirror.
Do a Google search on Abrolhos Charters. Here's the first one that came up.
www.kimberleycharters.com.au/default.asp We saw these guys out there. Looked like a pretty slick setup. No idea of cost. It may be better to contact a boat that does charter and organise a trip purely for kiting and surfing, ie make your own itinerary.
Good winds,
