Once you arrive in West Sidoan, look for signs or ask locals for directions to Wuyul Sibasal.

The journey takes approximately 3 hours. Once you arrive in Parigi, you will need to take a local ojek (motorcycle taxi) or a shared minivan to get to Tinombo. This should cost around IDR 20,000 to IDR 30,000. From Tinombo, you can hire another ojek or a local driver to take you to West Sidoan, which should cost approximately IDR 30,000 to IDR 50,000. Always confirm prices before starting your journey.
