How to reach Rammang Rammang

Firstly, this is a great trip out from Makassar, especially if you are staying near the airport. If you go by taxi it's about 140000 one way. However, we travelled by pete pete, the small blue local vans. Get yourself to Terminal Daya then pick up another pete pete to Pangkep. Ask them to drop you at Rammang Rammang (pronounced Ramung Ramung!). You then have to walk about 1km to the boat pier. It costs 200000 for a smaller boat for 4 then a little more for bigger boats. Sometimes they insist on foreigners having their own boat but we managed to share with a group of Indonesians to reduce the cost. The trip is stunning. You travel for about 25 mins by river, through the karst to a plateau of rice fields surrounded by hills. It is spectacular! You are free to wander where you like but there is a route around taking in caves and small cafes. For a tiny entrance fee you can also stop at a small limestone village on the return journey. It's a really great trip out if you have a spare day in Makassar and if you travel by pete pete the return journey only costs 20000 each.

    great day trip from Makassar, definitely worthwhile
    I loved my day trip from Makassar to Rammang Rammang and the Leang Leang caves! I went with a great guide and driver, Dodo Mursalim, who I would certainly recommend. His whatsapp number is +62 812 4129913. I thought the karst landscape around the Rammang Rammang village was just beautiful. We got a boat into the village from the access point, and the boat ride was pleasant too. It's well set up for tourism now--in fact most of the people in the area are making more income from tourism than from their traditional fishing activities, which is helping them improve their standard of living. Wooden walkways are built above the rice fields, so it's not difficult at all to walk around. There are some small places to get a bite to eat but you might consider bringing enough snacks and of course water or other drinks for the day. Leang Leang caves were also in a beautiful karst landscape, and the petroglyphs were definitely worth seeing. I met a very nice group of professional women there, super friendly. All in all, a very rewarding day. We even stopped at a local festival in Maros, on the way to Rammang Rammang, and that was a very fun and surprising experience.
