No matter at which international airport you arrive in Indonesia, we will help you to organise the rest of the journey. We will book your domestic flights, your hotels and inland tours e.g. to the Toraja. No matter where you wish to go or what you want to see, we can organise your trip for you at a competitive rate.

Makassar (Ujung Pandang) is the basis for your journey to Selayar. Depending on the arrival time of your flight from Bali, Jakarta or any other airport, the journey will either continue the same day or you will spend the night in Makassar. We recommend the hotel ‘Pantai Gapura’. This hotel is situated right next to the sea, with comfortable rooms and a well-groomed park with tropical flair. After a long flight, you can relax by the pool. The hotel restaurant is built in Pinisi style, like a traditional ship. At night you can dine in the hotel, have a drink at the Sunset bar or go for a walk around the city. For anybody interested in culture there is Fort Rotterdam. The best place for buying souvenirs is Jl.Somba Opu – the street parallel to the one with the hotel. For breakfast there is a choice of an American or Indonesian breakfast at the hotel buffet.

You can reach Selayar by boat any day of the week. At about 8 am the guests are picked up from the hotel lobby or the airport in Makassar and taken to Bira by airconditioned minibus. During the 4-hour journey you are offered an insight into the culture of South Sulawesi, passing through places where the traditional Pinisi ships are built as well as through small villages where sea-salt is gathered in the traditional way. When there is enough time, you can take a break and have lunch. In the coastal village of Bira, the resort’s speedboat and its crew are waiting to receive guests. The trip along the picturesque and untouched coast of Selayar to the resport will take about 2.5 hours.

The plane to Selayar goes only twice a week. It is best to check which days as they can be changed at short notice. The guests are picked up at the hotel at about 6.30 am and taken to the airport in Makassar. The plane has 24 seats and it takes 45 minutes to get to Selayar. From the airport that is close to the Capital Benteng, you will be taken by car to a small harbour in about 1.5 hours. A boat will be waiting there also to take guests to the resort.
