ACCESS
TO KUTAI NATIONAL
PARK
Kutai National Park is one of the National Parks at East Kalimantan
that can be the most easily reached, from Balikpapan airport. The
National Park lies along the Coastal side of East Kalimantan about 325
kilometers north of Balikpapan city. Kutai National Park can be reached
by car in about 6 to 7 hours drive, upon the chosen transport facility.
By public bus one have to transit the bus 2 times, at Samarinda city
and Bontang, this journey can take up to 10 hours, as the
public buses wait till they have enough passengers before they leave.
For a flight from Balikpapan to Bontang one have to request a seat as
this route is only operated by chartered flights of companies, if seats
are available, you might can fly the route with a negotiable payment.
From Bontang it is about 1 hour drive to Sangatta.
Once arrived in Sangatta a motorized canoe is needed to move yourself
in-to the park after you have obtained a permit to enter the National
Park. Permits can be arranged at the Kutai National Park office in
Bontang.
ACCOMMODATION
Kutai National Park has a small lodge facility for guests with two
rooms only, which is a part of the Prefab Research station,
during high season we highly recommend to reserve in advance,
otherwise one has to return to overnight at Sangatta village. In some
cases the Research station can be used as accommodation facility if the
staff is out of the camp.
