Vilanculos airport transfers

A Vilanculos airport transfer is a private, door-to-door ride between Vilankulo Airport (VNX) and your hotel, lodge, or beach house — arranged ahead of time, so a driver is waiting with your name when you step off the plane. Tell us your flight and where you’re staying, and we’ll have the right vehicle there at the right time, on the way in and the way back out.

From $30

Per private vehicle, up to 4 passengers · one way. The exact fare depends on where you’re staying — we’ll confirm it before you book.

No queue, no waiting

How an airport transfer
with us works.

Booking a transfer through EKAYA takes one WhatsApp message and a reply — then a driver is simply there when you land. Here’s the whole thing.

  1. 1

    You send us your flight

    Your flight number, arrival time, and where you’re staying. A sentence is enough to start.

  2. 2

    We confirm and quote it

    We check the timing and send an honest, fixed all-in fare — no meter, no hidden extras, no pressure.

  3. 3

    We meet you at the plane

    Your driver is waiting when you land and takes you straight to your door — or collects you in good time for the flight home.

Where we go

Where we’ll pick you up — and where we’ll take you.

We pick up and drop off anywhere in and around Vilanculos — your hotel, a beach house, a lodge, or the airport itself. Most transfers are the short hop between VNX and town, but we’re not limited to it: tell us your final stop and we’ll carry the whole journey.

Connecting onward? We can drop you at the jetty for your boat out to the Bazaruto Archipelago National Park — a protected marine reserve co-managed by African Parks since 2017 — or take you on to a lodge further down the coast. Heading somewhere bigger? We also run private transfers to and from Vilanculos — Tofo, Maputo, the South African border — and custom routes on request.

Just arriving? Start with our Vilanculos travel guide and things to do — then let us handle getting you there.

People who live here and know every hotel, lodge, and back lane around Vilanculos — and who'll chat to you in English or Portuguese on the way.

A fixed fare confirmed on WhatsApp before you travel. No meter, no detours, no surprises when you reach the door.

Before you ask

The questions we get most.

How much is a transfer from Vilanculos airport?
A private Vilanculos airport transfer starts at $30 per vehicle (up to 4 people), one way. The exact fare depends on where you're staying, so message us with your hotel and we'll confirm it — no online payment, no obligation.
Is there a taxi or shuttle at Vilanculos airport?
Taxis wait outside Vilankulo Airport (VNX) and some hotels run their own shuttle, but there's no scheduled airport shuttle service — and rank taxi fares are often inflated and haggled on the spot. A pre-booked private transfer fixes the price before you even fly and puts a driver in arrivals with your name. That's what we do, from $30 per vehicle (up to 4).
How long does it take to get from VNX to my hotel?
Vilankulo Airport sits just outside town, so most hotels are a 10–15 minute drive. Island-jetty connections and lodges further out take a little longer — we'll tell you the exact time when you book.
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. No taxi queue, no haggling after a long flight.
How many people and bags can you take?
Up to 4 passengers with luggage in a comfortable private vehicle. Travelling as a bigger group or with a lot of gear? Tell us and we'll arrange the right vehicle for it.
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 — same fixed fare, same door-to-door service, just in the other direction. Give us your flight time and we'll plan the pickup around it.
Can you connect me to the islands or a lodge?
Yes. We can drop you at the jetty for your boat out to the Bazaruto Archipelago, or carry on to a lodge or beach house outside town — just tell us your final stop and we'll quote the whole journey.
Do you do other routes, like Vilanculos to Tofo?
Yes. We run private transfers all along the coast — Vilanculos to Tofo, Tofo to Maputo, Maputo to Vilanculos, and custom routes on request. Tell us where you're headed and we'll send a price.
