Napakiak has a State-owned lighted gravel runway that is centrally located. The first airstrip was completed in 1973, enabling year-round access. There are also seaplane landing areas on the Kuskokwim River and Johnson Slough that provide air transportation for passengers, mail, and cargo. A hovercraft is used year-round to bring cargo and mail to the community. There are currently no docking facilities at the landing. The Kuskokwim River provides water transportation in the summer months (June-October) and an ice road in the winter months. For safety the ice road is marked with trail markers. In addition to the ice road there is a winter trail marking the way to Bethel, 9 miles overland. Many residents have fishing boats, and skiffs are used in the summer for subsistence fishing and travel to Bethel and other nearby villages. Snow machines and ATVs are used in winter. Barges deliver goods from Bethel during the summer months.
