Update January 2010: Banda Aceh has been granted the Visa on Arrival status by the Indonesian government, BUT we are still waiting for the actual implementation on the airport itself. Gossip is it will be operational in March, but until then, you still need to get your tourist visa beforehand at an Indonesian Embassy if you don't have visa-free entry. More about VISA >
Note: Since 19 May 2005 no more special permits for tourists are needed to visit Aceh. |

When you arrive in Balohan on Pulau Weh there will be many cars and minibusses waiting.
If you don't wish to driven around through Sabang town first, try to ask for a taxi straight away. For taxis count on a minimum of Rp 150.000-200.000 or if shared with others 50.000 per person for a Kijang car to take you directly to LumbaLumba on Gapang Beach. In a minibus it's also Rp 50.000 per person, if there are more people going to the beaches. It is still another 40 minutes drive over (newly repaved) scenic roads around bays and over steep hills with prime forest and many monkeys.

International ATM
(June 2009)
Beware that the only international ATM in Sabang at Bank BRI only accepts MasterCard and Maestro cards, NO VISA/VISA electron!
Lately, the ATM has often been out of order or out of money!
Better to take money from an ATM in Banda Aceh airport or town before coming to the island.
At the diveshop, we accept cash Euro, Rupiah or any major currency, and payments in Rupiah by VISA & MASTERCARD creditcards and by (internet) bank tranfers. US Dollars are difficult to change, only new series, bills in good condition are accepted in the banks.
Safe Deposit facilities are available in the diveshop. |
