Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Car
To reach Afelita by car from any location in Funafuti Atoll, follow the main road that runs along the island. If you're starting from the Funafuti International Airport, head south towards the town center of Vaiaku. Continue on the main road until you reach the area labeled as Te Auala O Fongafale. The destination is located at the coordinates F5MX+CQV. Make sure to look for local signage or ask for directions as you get closer, as the road can be winding and may not have clear markers.
Public Transportation
If you prefer to use public transportation, look for a local bus or shared taxi (also known as a 'fale taxi') that operates on the main road. Board a bus heading towards Vaiaku and inform the driver that you are going to Afelita. The fare is usually around 2-5 AUD, but confirm the price before boarding. Once you arrive at the Te Auala O Fongafale area, you may need to walk a short distance to reach Afelita, located at F5MX+CQV. Again, asking locals for specific directions can be very helpful.
Use Afelita as your starting point for nearby food, family ideas, nightlife, and more local discoveries.
