Tour Overview
The Lombok to Komodo boat trip is a one-way 4 days 3 nights crossing from Lombok to Labuan Bajo, Flores, visiting Komodo National Park along the way. It is also sold as a Lombok to Flores or Lombok to Labuan Bajo boat trip. Your journey finishes on Flores, so plan your onward stay or flight from Labuan Bajo.
Compare the 6 phinisi boats below by their eastbound itinerary, cabin and full package cost. The example day-by-day outline shows the sailing corridor; each boat sets its own stops and activity order. Saleh Bay appears in published eastbound programmes such as Menami and Sukha Sail 1, while other island and marine stops vary.
A shared 4D3N crossing starts at a catalog estimate of $239 per person per trip. Use the selected boat's cabin rate, occupancy rules, travel dates and inclusions to compare the total. Check park admission, land transfers and fuel supplements separately; a starting fare does not establish the final payable amount or live availability.
For a couple, family or solo traveller, check whether the booking reserves a bed in a shared room or a cabin for your own group. Cooling, bathroom access, cabin position and guest capacity differ by boat and room category.
Use the Lombok to Flores crossing guide for journey planning, boarding and transfer guidance, and the itinerary-change guide for route flexibility.
For the opposite direction, compare the Komodo to Lombok boat trip using its own dates and itinerary. For a holiday starting and ending in Labuan Bajo, compare the Komodo 3D2N tour or 4D3N round trip.

Itinerary
Lombok meeting point, Kayangan and the first island stop
Meet at the location confirmed for your boat and continue to Kayangan Harbour in East Lombok. Pickup areas and meeting-point arrangements vary. If you are staying on a Gili island, confirm the boat ticket to the mainland, the Bangsal connection and the land transfer as separate parts of your journey.
After boarding and the crew briefing, published eastbound programmes commonly visit Kenawa before continuing towards Sumbawa. Your booking instructions determine the actual meeting time, embarkation and first stop.
Lunch, DinnerSumbawa crossing and the boat's selected stops
This is the Sumbawa portion of the crossing. Menami and Sukha Sail 1 publish eastbound Saleh Bay whale-shark excursions followed by a Tambora coastal stop; Lady Grace publishes Saleh Bay and Satonda. Use the named boat's programme when choosing between them.
The trip name alone does not establish a Saleh Bay, Moyo or Satonda visit. Wildlife encounters and water activities depend on conditions, and onward sailing takes part of the day.
Breakfast, Lunch, DinnerKomodo National Park: dragon walk, beach and viewpoint
Published crossing programmes can combine a ranger-led dragon walk, Pink Beach and the Padar viewpoint, with marine stops on some boats. Confirm the actual island, ranger station and landing points on the itinerary.
The order differs by boat. A manta snorkelling stop or a sunset climb at Padar appears on some programmes and should be checked for your departure. The captain and guides can adjust the sequence for the approved park plan, conditions and access arrangements.
Breakfast, Lunch, DinnerFinal island or reef stops and arrival in Labuan Bajo
Finish the boat's remaining island or reef visits before disembarking in Labuan Bajo. Several published programmes list Manjarite and Kelor on the last day; use your selected itinerary for the actual stops and planned arrival.
Check whether a hotel or airport transfer is included, and arrange onward travel with time for disembarkation, the transfer and airport check-in. Conditions during the crossing can change a scheduled arrival time.
Breakfast, LunchWhat's Included
- IncludedAccommodation Onboard, 3 Meals Daily, Coffee & Tea, Drinking Water, Snorkeling Equipment, Local Guide / Ranger
- Not includedFlights, Personal Expenses
- What to bring
Bring the passport or Indonesian ID used for SiOra, reef-safe sun protection, a rash guard, closed shoes with grip, dry bag, motion-sickness medicine if suitable for you, personal medication, power bank and light layers for overnight passages. Complete park registration before the trip; government guidance is to arrange access by H-1. Signal and charging can be limited between Sumbawa and Flores.
- Policy detail
Payment, cancellation and rescheduling terms belong to the selected boat and booking provider. Deposits and balance deadlines differ. Read the written policy for your exact departure before payment.
- Notes
Compare the exact boat, cabin, travel year and eastbound package. The inclusion checklist is a starting point; the selected offer determines what your fare covers.
Park and activity charges: Some packages include park admission and a Saleh Bay activity; others quote them separately. Ask for an itemised total showing the registered park visits and each included activity.
Transfers and onboard service: Check the mainland meeting point, any Gili-to-Bangsal ticket, land transfer, meals on embarkation and disembarkation days, drinking water, snorkelling equipment and any Labuan Bajo drop-off. Towels, photography and other extras vary.
Supplements: Confirm fuel adjustments, cabin occupancy or extra-bed charges and the payment currency. Ask how a changed or missed activity is handled under your package's terms before paying.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Lombok to Komodo boat trip cost?
The catalog's shared 4D3N eastbound package estimate starts at $239 per person per trip. Each boat and cabin has its own fare. Compare the same travel year, direction, occupancy and inclusions, then confirm the final written total with the booking provider. Park admission, transfers, activities and fuel adjustments can be included or charged separately.
How long is the boat trip from Lombok to Komodo?
The shared trips compared on this page last four days and three nights and finish in Labuan Bajo, Flores. Check the embarkation and disembarkation dates for your chosen departure when arranging accommodation and onward travel. A boat can offer a different duration on its return sailing; longer crossings and private options are listed separately.
Is the boat trip better than flying from Lombok to Labuan Bajo?
Choose the boat trip if you want the sailing, Sumbawa stops and Komodo island visits to be part of your holiday. Flying can be quicker when your priority is reaching Labuan Bajo, but compare the actual flight connections and transfer times for your dates.
If you prefer to spend the trip exploring Komodo from a Labuan Bajo base, compare the Komodo Tour 4 Days 3 Nights options. The one-way crossing is useful when you want to continue from Lombok to Flores while visiting islands along the route.
Can you swim with whale sharks on this trip?
Some eastbound boats publish a whale-shark excursion at Saleh Bay in Sumbawa. Menami, Sukha Sail 1 and Lady Grace include Saleh Bay in the programmes checked for this route. Confirm it on the selected boat and departure if it is a priority. Wildlife sightings and the activity itself depend on conditions and local arrangements; ask how a changed or missed stop is handled.
Where does the Lombok to Komodo boat trip depart from?
Several boats embark at Kayangan Harbour in East Lombok. Your land pickup or meeting point can be elsewhere, including Bangsal, Senggigi, Kuta or the Mataram area, depending on the package. Confirm the exact location and time in your booking instructions. For a Gili stay, check whether the boat to Bangsal and onward land transfer are included and how they connect.
What is the best time of year to sail from Lombok to Komodo?
Many advertised crossing schedules run between April and November. Your choice should also depend on which boat is sailing on your dates and which itinerary you prefer. The route includes open-water passages, so conditions can affect the sailing plan in any month.
Ask about operation dates, planned island stops and the policy for weather-related changes before arranging your other travel. Departure schedules do not by themselves confirm that a cabin is available.
Is the Lombok to Flores boat trip the same thing?
For the luxury phinisi crossings compared here, Lombok to Flores, Lombok to Komodo and Lombok to Labuan Bajo describe the same direction: depart Lombok, visit Komodo National Park and finish in Labuan Bajo on Flores.
Names alone do not establish the stops on every operator's product. Check the itinerary for the park visits you want, such as Padar, Pink Beach or a dragon walk, and confirm that the trip ends in Labuan Bajo.
Can the trip be done in reverse, Komodo to Lombok?
Yes. The Komodo to Lombok boat trip starts in Labuan Bajo and follows a westbound programme. Check that direction's own dates, duration, stops and final Lombok transfer. Saleh Bay, Moyo, Satonda and the order of park visits can differ between boats and directions.

Who This Suits
This crossing suits travellers who want island visits and time aboard a luxury phinisi as part of the holiday. It connects a stay in Lombok or the Gilis with the next stage of a journey in Flores.
Couples, solo travellers and small groups can compare shared-trip cabins without booking the whole boat. Room arrangements differ: check whether you are reserving a bed in a shared cabin or a cabin for your own group, and whether a minimum number of guests applies.
Families should choose around sleeping arrangements, swimming confidence and the walking involved at island stops. Ask the operator about child policies and suitable activities for your group. For onboard comfort, compare bathroom access, cooling, cabin location and the number of guests sharing the boat.
The main crossings above are leisure and snorkelling programmes. If diving is the priority, look for a dedicated diving itinerary. Longer sailings and private arrangements, where available, appear separately under Other crossing options.
Leave room in your travel plan for the one-way finish in Labuan Bajo and the overnight passages between islands. A round trip from Labuan Bajo is another option if you want to concentrate your holiday on Komodo National Park.
