Indonesia has good ferry connections with Malaysia and Singapore,
and there are frequent cargo boats from the Philippines
From Malaysia and Singapore
A variety of ferries and speedboats depart from Penang , on the west
coast of Peninsular Malaysia, to Medan and from Melaka , south of Medan,
in southern Malaysia, to Dumai . You can also take ferries from Johor
Bahru , in far southern Malaysia; from Singapore to the Sumatran islands
of Batam and Bintan ; and from Port Klang , near Kuala Lumpur, to
Tanjung Balai in Sumatra.
There are two entry points between East Malaysia and Kalimantan . You
can catch a bus between the capital of Malaysian Sarawak at Kuching to
Kalbar's capital, Pontianak; alternatively, you can cross from the East
Malaysian state of Sabah by catching a two-hour ferry to Pulau Nunukan
from Tawau, two days' bus ride southeast of Kota Kinabalu.
From the Philippines
Every week or so a cargo boat leaves General Santos in the Philippines
for Bitung in Northern Sulawesi . It's a rough ride shorn of any sort of
comfort, but at around US$30 one-way, it's a lot cheaper than flying . |
