Getting There
-
Car Rental
If you are in Raja Ampat and prefer to travel by car, you will first need to rent a vehicle from local rental services in Waisai, the capital of Raja Ampat. From Waisai, head southwest on Jl. Raya Waisai for approximately 30 kilometers until you reach Saporkren. The road is generally well-maintained, but be cautious of local traffic and road conditions. There may be a rental fee ranging from $30 to $50 per day, depending on the vehicle type.
-
Public Transportation (Bemo)
For a more budget-friendly option, you can take a Bemo (shared public transport vehicle) from Waisai to Saporkren. Locate the Bemo terminal in Waisai and board a Bemo heading towards Waigeo Selatan. The fare is usually around IDR 20,000 to IDR 30,000 (approximately $1.50 to $2). The ride will take about 1-2 hours depending on stops and road conditions. Be prepared for a communal experience, as Bemos can get crowded.

Boat Transfer
If you are near a coastal location, you may also consider taking a local boat to reach Saporkren. Arrange a boat transfer from nearby beaches or ask your hotel in Raja Ampat for assistance. The cost for a private boat can vary significantly, but expect to pay around $50 to $100 depending on the distance and duration of the trip. The journey by boat will offer stunning views of Raja Ampat's islands.
