Getting Around
How to get to and from Funafuti International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.
Transport Options at FUN
Funafuti International Airport is connected to Funafuti and the wider Tuvalu transport network by multiple ground transport options.
Small minibuses operate on the atoll but mainly serve residents rather than visitors.
No taxis are confirmed to operate on the island; most visitors get around by scooter, bicycle, or on foot given the short distances.
Cars can be rented, though most visitors get around by scooter, bicycle, or on foot given how short distances are.
The airport is only about 0.6km from the main settlement (Vaiaku) -- one of the closest airport-to-town distances in the dataset. Scooters and bicycles are the dominant way to get around.
