Most travelers fly straight into Djerba-Zarzis International Airport, which is the obvious choice for resort stays, dive holidays, and short mixed-interest trips. If you are building a wider southern Tunisia route, Djerba can also be reached from the mainland by the historic Roman causeway at El Kantara or by the Ajim-El Jorf ferry.

For most dive travelers, the easiest pattern is simple:

Fly into DJE.
Pre-book a taxi, hotel shuttle, or rental car.
Stay in the north or east hotel corridor unless your trip is built around a specific operator or cultural base.

Overland travelers often use the ferry for novelty and flexibility, especially when linking Djerba with Zarzis, Matmata, Tataouine, or desert-edge itineraries.

Taxis are the easiest point-to-point option for most visitors, while a rental car becomes useful if you want to combine dive days with Houmt-Souk, Erriadh, Guellala, Ajim, or mainland excursions. The airport operator notes a metered base fare starting at TND 4.500 from the airport, with a 50% surcharge overnight from 21:00 to 05:00.
