GOING TO PULAU WEH The only way to go to Pulau Weh is by
sea. There is a nice car ferry and two fast passenger ferries plying
the route between Ulee Lhe in Banda Aceh and Balohan on Pulau Weh.
Take a taxi or becak to the harbor. Bargain for the price.

TRANSPORT ON PULAU WEH
 The
local transportation on Pulau Weh has been criticized for bad
service and over-charging. The main problem is that there are not
enough passengers to run a regular service between Balohan and
Gapang/Iboih.
Minibuses are waiting in Balohan where the ferry arrives. Local fare
to Sabang town is Rp. 15.000 in a packed minibus; however tourists
are often charged Rp. 20.000, supposedly in a less packed minibus.
Add Rp. 5-10.000 if you continue go to Sumur Tiga Beach. To Gapang
and Iboih they charge Rp. 50.000, but they need a minimum of 3
passengers.
Motorized becak are available in Sabang. Min. Rp. 5.000 per ride.
Market to Iemeulee is app. Rp. 10.000. To Sumur Tiga maybe 15.000.
You now also find becak taking passengers all over Pulau Weh. The
prices need to be bargained. Can be a very pleasant alternative to
the minibuses. You need to bargain on the prices.
To rent a motorbike is Rp. 80-100.000/day depending on type. A
bicycle is Rp. 50.000/day.
