The ferry does not run 24 jam/day. I had been to Banda Aceh in 2005. I did not, however, at that time take the ferry to Sabang/Puloh We. On December 5th if was suggested by the betcha drivers outside of Hotel Medan that I go. The next day I decided to make a day trip of it. However, what was left out of the information was that the ferry does not run 24 jam/day. In short, I was stuck on the island overnight.

To make things worse - the next morning there was no taxis/betchas at 6:30 a.m. to go to the ferry. I walked and walked and finally put out my thumb and was eventually picked-up by a government worker on his way to work (on a Saturday) and was taken to Sabang City (Kota) where the person had to turn in another direction. It was already after 8 a.m. so I missed the first ferry so I walked until a betcha driver stopped and asked me if I wanted a ride to the ferry.

Upon arrival at the port I found no one who could tell me the [correct] schedule and there were no brochures or signs other than the electronic one, which did ended-up to not be correct.
It was good I did not go anywhere, as one of the versions of the next ferry leaving said two in the afternoon, while another said eleven a.m. The correct departure time was noon.

The slow ferry takes over two hours and the fast ferry takes almost one hour. The cost is 18 to 25,000 rupiah and the fast boat is 40,000. This is a good price of approx. 2 USD for slow and a little over 3 and a half for the fast ferry. The slow ferry carries cars, trucks and scooters whereas I do not think the fast ferry does.
