Fly into Betoambari Airport (BUW) in Baubau, typically via connecting flights through Makassar (UPG) on Wings Air. Alternatively, take a 5-hour passenger ferry from Kendari (KDI).
A moderate level of fitness is recommended for the jungle waterfall treks and terrain walks. Trails can be slick and muddy, so gripping trekking sandals or shoes are required.
While visitable year-round, the best time to visit Buton and Muna Islands is during the dry season from April to October for optimal trekking conditions and clearer waters.
