Why choose this tour
For guests travelling between Flores and Lombok, this trip turns the journey into the holiday. Instead of flying over the islands, they sail through them, sleeping on board for three nights.
The Standard route starts at Kelor Island and Long Beach, with the first night anchored near Padar. Day two begins with sunrise at Padar, followed by Komodo Island, Pink Beach and Manta Point. Day three follows the Sumbawa coast to Moyo Island's waterfall and Medang. On day four guests watch sunrise on Kenawa Island and arrive at Kayangan Port in Lombok between 08:00 and 09:00.
A free shuttle takes guests to Mataram, Senggigi or Lombok airport. This version ends in Lombok; for guests who want to continue to the Gili Islands, see our 5D4N Gili Trawangan trip.
