TRANSPORT / EXCURSION
For travellers coming from outside Indonesia, the most convenient route is to fly to Jakarta and then take a direct flight to Sorong. These flights typically depart around midnight or 1:00 AM and arrive in Sorong early in the morning, around 6:00 AM.
Alternatively, you can fly to Bali and continue your journey to Sorong from there. Flights from Bali to Sorong include both direct options and those with a layover in Makassar. This route is ideal if you're planning to include Bali in your travel itinerary.
