Getting to Pulau Weh Paradise

To reach Pulau Weh, your journey typically begins in Banda Aceh, located on the northern tip of Sumatra in Indonesia's Aceh Province.

By Air
Banda Aceh is well-connected with multiple daily flights from Medan and Jakarta via local airlines such as Citilink, Lion Air, Batik Air, and the national carrier Garuda Indonesia.
International travelers can also fly directly to Banda Aceh from Kuala Lumpur daily with AirAsia, or from Penang on select days with Firefly and Malindo Air.

By Bus:
For a more adventurous route, consider the overnight VIP buses from Medan to Banda Aceh. These operate daily, with departures between 4:00 PM and 10:00 PM, arriving in Banda Aceh around 8:00 AM—perfect timing for the 10:00 AM fast ferry to Sabang.
Bus fares range from Rp250,000 to Rp350,000 per person. Reliable bus operators include Harapan Indah, Pelangi, Kurnia, Pusaka, Anugerah, PMTOH, and JRG. In Medan, you can find their ticket offices along Jl. Gajah Mada.
