By plane
Pointe Noire is served by local carriers and international airlines such as Air France. The airport is not far from the town or beach hotels. A taxi will cost about CFA2000 to the town.
By train
It is possible from Brazzaville, but not recommended for safety and security reasons.
By car
Roads inside the town are in good condition. However, outside of the town they may be impassible to anything less than a 4 wheel drive vehicle.It is very safe to travel around with a taxi. Taxis in PNR are shared so if you are in a hurry tell him to take you straight where you want to go, and pay around 700-1000 XAF. If you take other people from the road you pay ~ 150-350 XAF, depending on the length. If you use a taxi more than 1 hour you will have to pay 3000 XAF for that hour.Do not go outside of PNR without a known driver and a 4WD.They are building the road from Brazaville to Point Noire. It is supposed to be finished in 2012, but with the local infrastructure, who knows. Driving from one to the other takes about 1-2 days, but it is currently unsafe in the Pool region. The new road is worth driving on just to get a feel for the forest/grassland region of Congo.
