*If you get the earliest boat transfer from Nusa Penida to Bali then you can catch a flight at 11am or later. Any flight earlier than this will require you to spend the night on Bali first*

By Ferry

For the more adventurous traveller you can travel to Labuan Bajo by ferry. It takes about 36 hours from Bali and stops at Lombok and Bima on the way. It is a large passenger ferry so is not designed for island hopping - although there are some stunning views along the way. There are limited food options on the boat so it would probably be best to bring some supplies. 

Generally the ferry gets into Labuan Bajo about 3pm so too late for our regular transfer, but if this budget option appeals to you let us know and we can look into organising a private transfer or you could spend a night in Labaun Bajo town and come out to the resort the following day. 

For more information on getting the ferry you can check out the Pelni website.

By Island Hopping

There are many companies that offer island hopping trips that go from Bali / Lombok to the Komodo National Park. These are usually done over a few days and is a fun way to experience Indonesia.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS REQUIRED: This will depend on the company you book with.

Leaving Labuan Bajo

On your check out day our transfer boat will leave the resort around 8am. You will get back to Labuan Bajo around 9.30am. Please book a flight that departs after 11am. If you wish to catch an earlier boat we can assist in organizing a rental boat to collect you from the resort. This costs 800,000 IDR. You can contact us to find out more.
