Getting there & away
Boat
Pelni (51169; Jl Yos Sudarso) is at the main port. The Dobonsolo travels fortnightly to/from Toli Toli in Sulawesi (economy 140,000Rp) and north to Nunukan (economy 60,000Rp).
Private passenger boats head to Berau roughly twice a week (130, 000Rp, 11 hours) from the other pier, located about halfway between the Pelni office and the THM Plaza. There are also daily speedboats (except Sunday) between Tawau in Sabah and Tarakan (150,000Rp); you can catch these at the pier the private passenger boats leave from.
