"Another far away adventure"
Weh island ( Sabang for the locals) is a small island off the northern tip of Sumatra. The northern-most point of the Indonesian archipelago is known as kilometre zero or KmZero.
This island is magical! Clear and blue sea water. You even can see the fishes without have to get in the water. But yeah, Weh island is best known for its snorkelling and diving.
To get to this island is kind of fun if you don't mind to be on the bus for12 hours. And if you are in Medan and want to go this island, this is how to get there:
- By a bus From Medan to Aceh for $20. It would take 12 hours to get there and it's better if you take a night bus so you could sleep all night and will be arrived in the morning.
2.After you arrive at the bus station then take a local taxi to the Ulele harbour. You should ask for the better price which could be less than $5. - With a fast ferry to the island which costs you around $5-7. It only takes 45 minutes.
- From Balohan harbour to your homestay, again ask for a better price!
And for the homestay, i think it would cost you around $10-20. Mine was $10 and the view was so amazing!
