There are no standard, on-demand taxi services at Groote Eylandt Airport. Airport transfers must be pre-arranged with your accommodation provider, such as the Groote Eylandt Lodge, or with your host organization prior to arrival.
Car rental is available but limited and requires booking well in advance. The main provider is Groote Eylandt Car Rentals. The Groote Eylandt Lodge also offers 4WD vehicle hire. It is essential to reserve a vehicle before you travel due to the small fleet on the island.
There is no public transportation system, such as buses or trains, operating on Groote Eylandt. All travel from the airport must be arranged privately via a pre-booked transfer or a rental car.
Not much to do there, except wish you were somewhere else.
Reply to @Ozguy:
If someone were to convince the locals to allow me to bring my warmblood horses with me, with the understanding that there'd be riding lessons, with dressage, showjumping, eventing, and even barrel racing, would that make the island more fun? Are there edible grasses on this island? Are there a bunch of flightless birds and super rare plants that a few hooves might accidently trample?
