Discover the Serene Beauty of Telaga Biru

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, start from Biak town, which is the nearest major urban center. Drive southeast on Jl. Ahmad Yani towards Jl. Raya Biak. Continue for about 5 kilometers until you reach the intersection with Jl. Raya Rim. Turn right onto Jl. Raya Rim and drive for another 10 kilometers. You will see signs indicating the direction to Telaga Biru. The final stretch will take you to the coordinates X52C+XWH, Rim, Biak Timur, where you will find the picturesque blue lake. Ensure you have enough fuel, as there are limited gas stations in the area.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, head to the local bus terminal in Biak. Look for buses heading towards Rim or specific routes that mention Telaga Biru. The fare is typically around IDR 10,000 to IDR 15,000. The bus ride will take approximately 30-45 minutes depending on traffic. Once you arrive in Rim, you may need to hire a local ojek (motorcycle taxi) for the last leg to Telaga Biru, which should cost around IDR 20,000 to IDR 30,000. Make sure to ask the driver to take you to the lake, as it's a popular destination among locals.

• Combination of Car and Boat

  For an adventurous route, you may consider driving to nearby coastal areas and then hiring a boat. Start in Biak and drive to the nearest port (e.g., Port of Biak). From there, arrange for a boat that can take you to Telaga Biru. This option is more expensive, with boat hires ranging from IDR 500,000 to IDR 1,000,000 depending on the boat's capacity and duration of rental. This method offers a unique perspective of the coastal scenery but is less straightforward than the road options.
