Welcome to Pulau Weh - Sabang PDF Print E-mail

Pulau Weh is a beautiful island located at the north western tip of Sumatra. It presents the western most part of the Indonesian archipelago - the world's largest, stretching some 4.000 km to the east.

Pulau Weh, which residents call Sabang after the island’s main town, is ringed with beautiful beaches and amazing dive sites. Its three primary sites for diving and snorkeling are Gapang, Iboih and Rubiah Island, site of the Rubiah Sea Garden Marine Park.

Many rare sea creatures inhabit the park, such as whale sharks, manta rays, sea turtles and dolphins. The coral reefs are breathtaking and provide excellent snorkeling for non-divers.

Many other fascinating sites of interest include a waterfall, volcano and hot springs; plus the Zero Kilometre Monument, the Japanese bunkers from WWII, the historical graveyard, Durian Keramat and Sabang town.

Shopping in Sabang is another interesting experience. The main place to shop is the traditional market where it is possible to buy fresh fruit and traditional food such as dodol, keripik, Sabang cake, and bread, as well as souvenir handicrafts made from coconut wood.

A wide range of accommodations is available on Pulau Weh, ranging from hotels and home-stays to charming beach-side bungalows and cottages.

Prices and facilities vary.

Visitors to Pulau Weh may soon be using its new airport terminal, but for now the island is reached via Banda Aceh by a twice daily passenger ferry and a once daily car ferry.

Transportation on the island consists of minibuses, motorcycles, 3-wheel pedicabs (known locally as becak) and rental cars.
