You can take a public boat operated by the government (Koperasi Karya Bahari), which runs multiple times daily. These boats are the most affordable option (around IDR 20,000–40,000) and take about 20–30 minutes. Tickets are purchased at official counters on each island, and no advance booking is needed. Or you can hire a private charter boat, which is faster but more expensive (starting at IDR 200,000 per boat). All boats land at the concrete jetty at Bangsal, allowing dry and direct access to shore.
