Kivalina is not connected to any road systems, and basic modes of transportation to and from Kivalina are plane, small boat, and snowmobile. The state owns a gravel airstrip. There is daily air service from Kotzebue and twice weekly service from Point Hope. A new road was constructed in Kivalina in 2009, which doubles as a rock revetment. A road to the town's landfill as well as a dirt road which lead to the airport are no longer in use due to erosion. Two main hunting trails follow the Kivalina and Wulik Rivers and another follows the coast north to south. Northland Services barges fuel, automobiles, groceries, household goods, and general supplies to Kivalina in July and August. Cargo is shipped in daily via plane from either Anchorage or Seattle.
