How the Inhambane airport to Tofo transfer works

One message, then met in arrivals.

The Inhambane airport to Tofo private transfer is a taxi booked ahead just for your group: a local driver meets you in arrivals at Inhambane Airport (INH) with your name on a sign and drives you door to door to Tofo, Barra or anywhere on the peninsula, for a fixed $35 per car. Here's the whole trip.

  1. Before you fly

    Send us your flight and hotel

    Tap the button and add your flight number, landing time, how many of you there are and your hotel’s name. We confirm the fixed fare in the chat.

    What if the price changes?

    It won’t. The fare we confirm is the whole fare, fuel included, and nothing is added at the end.

    What if my flight changes?

    It happens a lot here, especially on domestic flights, so don’t worry. Send us the new flight number and time on WhatsApp and we’ll move your pickup to match.

  2. The day before

    Your driver is confirmed

    You get your driver’s name, so you know exactly who’s meeting you.

  3. Landing

    Through a small terminal in minutes

    Inhambane only has domestic flights, so you’ve already cleared immigration at your first airport in Mozambique, usually Maputo. Here it’s a few minutes from the plane to arrivals.

    What if my flight is late?

    We track your flight, so your driver knows when you actually land and is there when you come out.

  4. Arrivals

    Your name on a sign

    Your driver is waiting with your name, ready to load your bags and go. No queue, no price to agree.

    What if I can’t see my driver?

    They’ll be in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name, and you’ll already have their name from the day before. If you still can’t spot them, message us on WhatsApp and we’ll put you in touch.

    What if we don’t speak Portuguese?

    You won’t need it. Everything is planned in advance, so your driver already knows where you’re going. And our drivers always do their best to communicate with you on the way.

  5. About 30 minutes

    22 km to Tofo

    A paved road out to the coast and straight to your door in Tofo, Tofinho or Barra, about 40 minutes for Barra. Flying out? We collect you in good time for check-in.

    What if we land after dark?

    No problem. Our drivers are local and very experienced on these roads at night, and the fare is the same day or night.

Arriving at Inhambane airport

It’s a small terminal with domestic flights only, so you’ll have cleared immigration at your first airport in Mozambique, usually Maputo. From the plane to arrivals takes a few minutes, and your driver is waiting there with your name.

Which airlines fly to Inhambane?

Only LAM, Mozambique’s national airline, lists Inhambane in its bookable network, so nearly every guest arrives on a LAM flight via Maputo, after an international flight. Airlink doesn’t fly here: its nearest Mozambican airport is Vilanculos, and our Vilanculos to Tofo transfer covers the 315 km by road. Landing in Maputo first? See our Maputo airport transfers.

ATMs and SIM cards at Inhambane airport

Don’t count on an ATM or a SIM card at the airport: draw meticais and buy your SIM in Inhambane town or Tofo, and see our staying-connected guide. Your transfer doesn’t need cash when you land.

How early should I get to Inhambane airport?

The airport operator recommends arriving 2 hours before a domestic flight. Liquids in your hand luggage go in containers of up to 100 ml, and power banks and spare lithium batteries travel in the cabin, never in checked bags.

We collect you at your hotel in good time for check-in, at the same fixed fare as the way in.

Before you ask

Inhambane airport to Tofo taxi questions, answered.

How much is a taxi or private transfer from Inhambane airport to Tofo?
A private transfer from Inhambane Airport (INH) to Tofo is $35 (2,000 MZN) per car, one way, for up to four people and their bags. It's the same $35 to Barra, Tofinho, Inhambane town or any lodge on the peninsula, as long as the road in doesn't need a 4x4.
Is it a taxi, a shuttle or a private driver?
Call it whichever you like: it's a taxi booked ahead, a private shuttle and a driver who meets you in arrivals, all in one. The car and the driver are just for your group, nobody else gets on, and it's one fixed price per car, not per seat: $35 anywhere on the peninsula.
How do I get from Inhambane Airport to Tofo?
Tofo is 22 km east of Inhambane Airport (INH), about a 30-minute drive on a paved road; Barra is a little further, around 40 minutes. The easiest way is a private transfer booked ahead: your driver meets your flight in arrivals and drives you door to door for a fixed $35 per car.
Will someone be waiting when I land?
Yes. Send your flight number and arrival time and your driver will be in the arrivals area with your name, ready to load your bags and go. We track your flight, so a delay is no problem.
Can you take me to Barra as well as Tofo?
Yes, at the same $35. We cover the whole Inhambane peninsula: Tofo, Tofinho, Barra, Inhambane town and the lodges in between. If your lodge needs a 4x4 to reach, tell us and we'll quote that separately.
Can you take me from Inhambane airport to Casa na Praia, Mango Beach or Turtle Cove?
Yes. We drive to every hotel, lodge and guesthouse in Tofo, Tofinho and Barra, and those are just some of the places our guests stay. Others include Lehani, Kumba Lodge, Baia Sonambula and Mozambeat. Send us your lodge's name with your flight and your driver takes you to its door.
How do I pay for the transfer?
In cash, or online with a payment link we send you in the WhatsApp chat. Whichever you choose, the fare is the fixed price we agreed, with fuel included.
How many people and how much luggage can you take?
The price on this page is for a standard car, not a 4x4, carrying up to four passengers and their luggage. If you're a bigger group, or bringing dive gear, boards or a lot of bags, just say so when you message: we'll put you in a larger vehicle or send a second car, and confirm the fare before you book.
Can you take me back to the airport for my departure too?
Yes. We collect you from your hotel in good time for check-in, at the same fixed fare and door to door, just in the other direction. Give us your flight time and we'll plan the pickup around it.
Do you do other routes, like Tofo to Maputo or Vilanculos?
Yes. We run private transfers all along the coast: Tofo to Maputo, Vilanculos to Tofo, Massinga, Pomene, and custom routes on request. Tell us where you're headed and we'll send a price.
Is the transfer car a 4x4? My lodge says I need one.
Our standard transfer cars aren't 4x4s, so if your lodge sits at the end of a sand or rough access track, you must tell us when you book. We do have 4x4s and will happily arrange one, priced separately, but we don't run the lodges, so we can't know what each access road requires. Check with your accommodation, tell us on WhatsApp, and we'll send the right vehicle.
