Comoros Getting Around

By AirGetting Around by Air

Each island has an airfield and there are services between the islands in the region.

By BoatGetting Around by Water

The islands are linked by regular ferry services. Travellers can hire motorboats, sailing craft and canoes in port villages and towns. A boat can be especially useful for Mwali (Mohéli) where the road system is rudimentary.

By CarGetting Around by Road

Traffic drives on the right. Bush taxis (taxis-brousses), hired vehicles or private cars are the only forms of transport on the islands. All the islands have tarred roads. 4-wheel drive vehicles are advisable for the outlying islands and in the interior, especially in the rainy season. Roads are narrow and domestic animals often roam free, so visitors should drive slowly. Share-taxis provide transport in and around towns.

Car hire:
Available on Ngazidja (Grande Comore).
