Getting There & Around

How to Get to Pulau Ayu

Pulau Ayu lies in the Ayu Islands off the northwestern coast of New Guinea. Access is by boat from larger ports in Southwest Papua or by arranging local inter-island transport; schedules are variable and weather-dependent.

Tips for Visiting Pulau Ayu

  • Logistics are complicated-inter-island transport is irregular and weather-dependent; carry contingency days in any itinerary.
  • Respect local customs; smaller island communities are tightly-knit and visitors are expected to observe local norms.
  • Bring basic medical supplies-medical evacuation can be slow and the islands have limited facilities.
