Pulau Weh, pulau Rondo, pulau Seulako, pulau Kiah and pulau Rubiah keep million beautiful scenery in hills, lake, and or course their beaches. There is no restriction to swim in those island, but please to notice about Sharia Law in Aceh, i suggest you must be wise not to use any bikini, better safe than sorry ^_^.

Pulau Rondo

From Balohan port (harbor) to explorer joints of Gapang and Iboih IDR50,000 (debatable) in shared transport (~1 hr drive) and to Semur Tiga Rp25,000 in shared transport (~20 min drive). From Iboih to Semur Tiga in shared transport costs IDR100,000 (~1 hr drive). Costs for minibusses (shared transport) from and to harbor are settled (likewise if there is just a single traveler in the auto).

A potentially less expensive choice is to organize transport in becaks or on motorbikes. For this vehicle you have to deal. You can likewise take the entire taxi for IDR150,000. Deal hard, since the costs are not set (in spite of the fact that the drivers attempt to show you composed notes with costs). A motorbike ride ought to cost around Rp30,000.

On the other hand you can lease motorbikes at Iboih and Gapang and Semur Tiga (IDR100,000 every day). Other than that bikes are for lease in Iboih, Pantai Sumur Tiga and a few places like Kartika and Holiday Hotel. In the event that you need to cycle from the port to your inn its best to lease a bike in Banda Aceh and bring it with you on the vessel.

The main reason to go to Pulau Weh is for the beaches. Relaxing, swimming, snorkelling, diving. Don't worry about doing anything else.

The house reef at Gapang Beach boasts an extensive variety of full scale life including uncommon critters like Frog Fish, Star Gazers and Gurnards.
