Plenty of what is worth seeing sits outside Jakarta and elsewhere in Indonesia. None of it is ours to sell.

Common questions about Ferries in Indonesia

What Ferries routes are there in Indonesia?

We sell 376 Ferries routes in Indonesia, serving 65 places, run by 5 operators. Every one of those routes has an operator that actually serves it, so the count is the network we can sell rather than every pair of places on a map.

How much do Ferries tickets in Indonesia cost?

The cheapest Ferries fare in Indonesia is €11.88 for one passenger, across the 376 routes we sell there. The median route runs 693 km in a straight line, which is the distance that fare should be read against before comparing it to anywhere else.

Can I travel out of Indonesia by Ferries?

20 of the Ferries routes we sell touching Indonesia cross a border and 356 stay inside it, reaching 1 other countries including Malaysia. Cross border routes are usually the ones where the fare and the journey time differ most between operators.

Which operators run Ferries services in Indonesia?

5 operators run Ferries services on routes we sell in Indonesia: ASDP, Dharma Indah, Pelni, Persero, PT. Dharma Lautan Utama. Each is a real carrier from the published operator catalogue, and each has its own fares and conditions. The operator table on this page compares them on speed, flexibility and what is on board.

What is the longest Ferries route in Indonesia?

The longest Ferries route we sell touching Indonesia runs from Labuan Bajo to Luwuk, 898 km in a straight line. The median route in the country is 693 km, so this one is a considerable outlier and the fares on it behave differently from the rest.

Where these numbers come from

Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modelled number pass for a filed one.

Jakarta is big enough that where you sleep decides what the days look like. We sell the seat, not the room.
