Helpful Tips
Taxi-brousse shared vans leave from Volo-Volo market for cross-island trips. Flag one down. Pay the driver directly. No tickets. No counters. Just cash in hand.
Ferry tickets to Anjouan and Mohéli are purchased at the port office near the old Friday Mosque. Ignore the touts. They will swarm you. Step inside the office. Buy your seat. Done.
The coastal road from Iconi to Itsandra is served by frequent yellow minibuses. They pick up anywhere along the route. Wave. Hop in. Hop out. Simple.
Agree on taxi fares before entering. Most trips within Moroni are negotiated, not metered. Speak up. Set the price. Then get in.
Common Scams to Avoid
Unlicensed drivers at Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport often quote inflated fixed fares to Moroni center, claiming the meter is broken or that official taxis are unavailable. Walk past the first wave of touts to the clearly marked taxi rank outside arrivals and insist on using the meter or agreeing a fare in advance with a licensed driver.
Baggage porters sometimes demand excessive fees for the short walk from baggage claim to the curb, implying the service is mandatory. Politely decline any unsolicited help with your bags unless you have agreed the charge beforehand.
Currency-exchange booths inside the small terminal offer markedly poorer rates than downtown banks or ATMs, and may add undisclosed commissions. Exchange only a small amount at the airport for immediate needs and use city-center banks or ATMs for the bulk of your money.
