Route du transport par eau ASDP Gorontalo-Ampana sur la carte de Gorontalo

This is a normal ASDP ferry - it used to run three times a week, but this seems to be the exception nowadays. This ferry has an intermediate stop in Wakai, but only for a short while, make sure your guesthouse knows the schedule so you don't miss this cheap ride out of the Togeans. Mind that the ferry harbour in Ampana is actually far from town (13km).

Schedule (departure) from:
Wakai to Ampana: Wed & Sat 6am
Ampana to Wakai: Thu & Mon 5pm

On the long distance (night) ferries there is always the choice between VIP (AC, few people), business and ekonomi (fan, lots of people) - the price above is for ekonomi, VIP will be more expensive.

Payment seems to be now cashless (2022), at least at the Gorontalo side - we could still pay cash in Nov 2021 in Pagimana. The cashless payment is complicated: you need to pay online via transfer (indonesian bank only) or via (indonesian) flashcard (BNI, BRI, Mandiri, ...) The latter you can buy and top up in any Indomaret/Alfamart. An alternative option is to go buy the ticket in the nearest Indomaret/Alfamart and you can pay cash there (at a premium of course). With the payment slip you can enter the port where this paper will be changed to a ticket, with which you can board the ferry.
