The only way to get to and from Amantani Island is by boat. It is possible to just show up to the dock in Puno and arrange a ride on the spot, or you can book one in advance from travel agencies in town. From Puno by boat it is (so I heard) 4 or 5 hour trip. We caught a boat from the peninsula about 1hr drive from town, wich reduced the trip to 1 hr.
On the island itself, the only means of transport is on foot.
