Getting There & Around
How to Get to Motugie
Access is by boat from Fongafale (Funafuti’s main islet). Local operators and community-run transport arrange transfers; facilities are minimal.
Tips for Visiting Motugie
- Coordinate boat transport through the Funafuti community-local captains know lagoon conditions and safe landing spots.
- Respect the fragile coral and seabird habitats; avoid anchoring on reefs when possible.
- Bring supplies from Funafuti-small islets have minimal services.
