Transportation in Morotai Island

If you go around Morotai Island, it’s a good idea to rent a motorized vehicle, both two and four wheels, available bentor (motor rickshaw) for short distances. Traveling to a village which is quite far from Daruba City, the access is still not good. Meanwhile, if you want to go around the various islands around Morotai Island, for your convenience, you can rent a speedboat all day, although it is a bit expensive, but you can go around several islands at once. Another option is to use a passenger ship which is quite cheap but of course it will be quite time-consuming because you have to wait for other passengers until the ship is full.

Access to Morotai Island

If you are from outside the province of North Maluku, then you must first use a plane that lands in Ternate City . After that, you have several options to go to Morotai Island, namely:

1. You continue with a pioneer plane which is currently only available 3 days a week from Ternate Island to Morotai Island (Pitu Airport) with a journey time of about 45 minutes.

2. You can use a ship from the Ahmad Yani port of Ternate which is currently only available two days a week with a journey time of about 9 hours.

3. From the port of Ternate, you use a speedboat to cross to Sofifi City on Halmahera Island, then continue by vehicle to Tobelo City (North Halmahera Regency) in about 3.5 hours, and continue by using a passenger ship for 2 hours or a speedboat for about 1 hour to Morotai Island. The latter option is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive. Unless you have plans to travel in Kab. North Halmahera first.
