💡 Local Tip
If your final destination is mainland Equatorial Guinea (e.g., Bata), remember Malabo is on Bioko Island—you cannot drive there. Book a domestic flight or the ferry from Malabo port, and allow extra time for schedule changes.

Taxis are the most common way to reach Malabo city center; agree on the fare before departing and expect to pay in Central African CFA francs. Some hotels offer shuttle service, so ask in advance. There is no practical public bus link for most visitors, and rental cars are limited.
