Kalimantan Balikpapan is a gate that can be reached by air and sea from the main cities in Indonesia. In Balikpapan there Sepinggan International Airport and Sea Port Semayang. The airline that serves routes to Balikpapan is Garuda Indonesia, Citilink, Sriwijaya Air and Lion Air.

In addition, we can also rent a car at the rate Rp350.000-Rp400.000 from Balikpapan (there are many car rental at the airport Balikpapan). And, if you went with a large group, we really should hire a car just because it is more practical and if calculated, the charge was (if shared by members of the group) is almost the same as a travel ride.

Besides reached from Balikpapan, Kutai Kertanegara can also be reached via Samarinda. However, Samarinda has a very small airport. What's more, to get to Samarinda from major cities in Indonesia, we first have to pass through Aberdeen. So the way to the Kutai Kertanegara not advised of Samarinda.

Public transport in the city is still lacking memadahi Kutai. So, we should rent a car to get around the sights in Kutai. Car rental is available at the hotel and the airport in Balikpapan. Or, we could ask for help to find the hotel car rental. Car rental rate plus driver around Rp450.000-Rp500.000.

Public transport is commonly used in Kutai land and river transport, ie inter-city buses, taxis, shuttles town / rural, motorcycles, tricycles, motor boats, until a long-tail (motor boats)
