Taxis are not typically available in a formal, metered sense. Transportation is usually provided by private vehicles or can be pre-arranged through your hotel or guesthouse. It is strongly recommended to organize your airport transfer with your accommodation before you arrive to ensure a driver is waiting for you. Fares should be negotiated upfront.
There are no major international car rental agencies located at Vanimo Airport. Car hire options are extremely limited and must be arranged well in advance. Local hotels or tour operators are the best point of contact for securing a private vehicle rental, which is often a 4WD suitable for local road conditions.
There is no scheduled public bus service that directly serves the airport terminal. The primary mode of public transport in the region is the PMV (Public Motor Vehicle), which are privately-owned buses or trucks. To use a PMV, you would need to walk from the terminal to the main road to flag one down heading towards Vanimo town. This option is best for those traveling light and familiar with local customs.
I flew Twin Otters out of here in the early 80's. What an idyllic lifestyle!
