Antalaha can be reached by land, sea or air. The quickest and maybe most comfortable way of transport is by plane. A tarred road in good condition connects Antalaha with Sambava in the north where the domestic airport connects with daily flights. There is an International maritime harbour in the centre of town.
The easiest way to get around town is by foot, tuk-tuk or pousse-pousse. The central marketplace is of Tanambao is open daily and is especially busy on Thursday mornings.
Antalaha has an airport about ten kilometres out of town but but which is not served by scheduled flights other than by private air charters.
The 80 kilometres drive by taxi-brousse from Sambava takes about 1½ hours. Other available and more adventurous routes are a 3-5 day hike across the Masoala peninsula starting from Maroantsetra or via Cap Est. Sometimes it is possible to catch a cargo boat from Maroantsetra, Sainte Marie or Toamasina (Tamatave).
