Two bi-weekly Pelni ferrys to Pali-Pali from Tarakan (roughly one per week). Also a ferry that goes to Banjermassin and then to Macassar...also bi-weekly. So you may have to wait 4 days or a week. There are also private fast ferries. probably daily. But getting from Pali-Pali to Bunaden is quite a slog. Maybe better to go to the next ferry point, or to Makassar and fly to the north.
