Travel - Internal

Note
Visitors who intend to travel outside Malabo on the island of Bioko, or outside Bata on the mainland, will need to inform Protocol Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cooperation and Francophonie in advance.

Air
The country’s national airline operates flights between Malabo and Bata every day except Sunday, and it is advisable to book in advance. Light aircraft can be chartered in Malabo with international pilot’s qualifications.
Note: It is reported that maintenance procedures used on internal flights are not always properly observed.


Sea
There is a ferry between Malabo, Bata and Douala. The trip takes about 12 hours. There are four classes of fare.

Road
Not all roads are paved, although the majority are. On Bioko, the north is generally better served with tarred roads. Minibuses run from Bata to Mbini and Acalayong on the coastal road. Bush taxis connect Malabo with the island’s two other main towns, Luba and Riaba, and also run from Bata to Mongomo and Ebebiyin; they can be hired hourly or daily. There are some car hire facilities.
