Seek Out East Kalimantan

Known as the "Oil City" and the primary gateway to Indonesia’s new capital, Nusantara (IKN), Balikpapan is a city where modern industrial energy meets pristine coastal beauty. To ensure a seamless journey, our Balikpapan Transport Service now offers expanded coverage across all major entry points. We provide reliable private transfers from Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Sepinggan International Airport (BPN), the strategic Semayang Seaport, as well as the Batu Ampar Terminal for those arriving from other major cities across East Kalimantan.

Our fleet features comfortable 10-15 seater Microbuses, perfect for both point-to-point transfers and exploring the city’s clean, well-ordered streets. For larger groups, Medium and Big Buses are available with a focus on Full Day or multi-day services to significant surrounding areas such as the IKN Construction Site, the Samboja Lestari Orangutan Sanctuary, or the Bangkiray Hill canopy bridge. To ensure the best value and a hassle-free experience, we highly recommend bundling these larger bus options with our comprehensive Balikpapan and IKN tour packages.

We go beyond basic transportation by offering Flexible Routing and Free Photo Stops at iconic landmarks such as the Melawai Beach, the Islamic Center Balikpapan, or the vibrant Kebun Sayur Traditional Market, famous for its exquisite local gemstones and handicrafts. For a more immersive experience, we also offer guided visits to the Mangrove Center Graha Indah, allowing you to witness the authentic coastal ecosystem and local wildlife. This flexibility ensures that your arrival in Balikpapan is not just a ride, but the beginning of an unforgettable Bornean adventure.
