Getting to Berau

Your Gateway to Maratua Island

The smoothest way to reach Maratua Guesthouse is via Berau, a small city in East Kalimantan with its own airport. Once you reach Berau, the journey to Maratua is straightforward - and we are here to help every step of the way.

The best flights to Berau depart directly from Jakarta, which offers the most frequent connections. Flights are also available from Surabaya, and guests can connect through Balikpapan. Note that direct flights to Berau do not operate every day, so we recommend booking early and checking schedules carefully. A direct flight from Jakarta to Berau is always the smoothest option.

Guests travelling from Sabah, Malaysia will find the journey more complex. If you are arriving via Tarakan, we recommend our private transfer from Tanjung Selor - a one-hour public ferry from Tarakan - rather than attempting to route through Berau. Please see our Private Transfers page for full details.
