Getting there

Car

If you are starting from Nabire city, head south on Jalan Raya Nabire. Follow the road for approximately 20 kilometers until you reach the junction for Moora. Turn left onto the Moora road. Continue on this road for about 30 kilometers until you arrive in Moora. From Moora, you will need to find a boat rental service to take you to Pulau Utama, as it is an island and not directly accessible by car.

Public Transportation

From Nabire city, you can take a local 'angkot' (minibus) heading towards Moora. The ride will take about 1 hour and cost approximately IDR 20,000. Once you arrive in Moora, you will need to arrange for a boat to Pulau Utama. Look for local fishermen or boat rental services along the waterfront. The boat ride should take about 30 minutes and will typically cost around IDR 150,000 to 200,000 depending on the size of the boat and number of passengers.

Boat

After reaching Moora, find a local boat operator who can take you to Pulau Utama. Make sure to negotiate the price beforehand and confirm the estimated travel time of about 30 minutes. Boats usually depart when there are enough passengers, so it's wise to arrive early or book in advance if possible.
