Getting Around

Getting around Sumatra is an adventure in itself. For longer distances, overland travel is common via buses, ranging from basic local services to more comfortable executive coaches. Flights connect major cities like Medan, Padang, and Palembang, offering a quicker alternative. Within cities and towns, 'ojeks' (motorcycle taxis) and 'becaks' (cycle rickshaws) are prevalent for short hops. Renting a car with a driver is also an option for more flexibility, though roads can be challenging. Ferries are essential for island hopping, particularly to places like the Mentawais.
