Presently Air Marshall Islands (CW), the airline of the Marshall Islands, offers return flights to Funafuti from Majuro (Marshall Islands) via Tarawa (Kiribati), from Nadi (Fiji) and from Suva (Fiji). Air Fiji also flies between Suva (Fiji) and Funafuti. It is advisable to book in advance. The Visit the South Pacific Pass is valid for a number of airlines operating in the South Pacific, including Air Caledonie, Air Marshall Islands, Air Nauru, Air Niugingi, Air Pacific, Air Vanuatu, Polynesian Airlines, Qantas, Royal Tongan Airlines and Solomon Airlines. Offering reductions of up to 50 per cent on normal airfares, this sector-based pass allows for flexible island-hopping between the destinations of the Cook Islands, Fiji, Nauru, New Caledonia, Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga, Vanuatu and the more remote Melanesian and Micronesian islands, together with major cities in Australia (Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney) and New Zealand (Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington). The journey must be started outside the South Pacific and only one stopover in Australia is allowed. A minimum of two coupons must be bought before departure (a maximum of eight coupons can be purchased en route). For details and conditions, contact the South Pacific Tourism Organisation (see Contact Addresses section). The only airstrip is at Funafuti. There is no internal air service. Back to Top Travel By Water Shipping services operate from Fiji, Australia and New Zealand, calling at the main port of Funafuti. Adventure cruises organised by tour operators also call from time to time. The islands are served by a passenger and cargo vessel, the Nivaga II, based at Funafuti, which occasionally calls at Suva (Fiji). Back to Top Travel By Road There are a few roads, constructed from impacted coral, and several dirt tracks that span the islands. There are taxis, but limited transport service is also provided by privately operated minibuses. The usual forms of transport on the islands are small pick-up trucks, motorcycles and bicycles, which can be hired at the hotel. Back to Top
