Helpful Tips
In Malabo city, grab the shared minibus taxis marked 'Linea' for cheap local hops. Flag them down on main roads. Pay the driver directly. Simple, fast, and you ride like a local.
When Bata's minibuses are packed, flag a moto-taxi for short hops. Always negotiate the fare before you swing a leg over. Agree, climb, go.
For airport runs in Malabo, have your hotel call a radio taxi. This dodges the inflated fares that lurk in the terminal queue. Book ahead. Save cash.
Travel between Malabo and Bata on the government-operated ferry. Buy tickets at the port the day before travel. No online gimmicks. Show up, queue, sail.
Common Scams to Avoid
At Malabo International Airport, arriving passengers are sometimes approached by unofficial 'porters' who grab bags without asking and then demand inflated fees. Keep your luggage in sight, firmly decline assistance, and use only uniformed porters if you need help.
Taxi drivers at the airport rank may quote a flat 'tourist rate' that is several times the normal fare to city hotels. Agree on a price before entering the cab or use the ride-hailing apps that operate in Malabo to see the expected range.
Currency-exchange touts inside the terminal offer to change euros or dollars at poor rates and may short-change hurried travelers. Use the official bank counter or ATMs in the arrivals hall instead.
