Tips for Traveling from Lombok to Labuan Bajo

  • Plan around three flight days: The flight runs only on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, so book your hotel nights and boat trip to match.
  • Allow time to reach the airport: Lombok International Airport is in Central Lombok, about 30 km or an hour's drive south-east of Mataram.[2] DAMRI buses run from the airport to Mataram between 07:00 and 17:00 for Rp25,000.[3]
  • Book your Komodo visit early: You cannot explore the national park alone because dragons live on nearly all the main islands, and tickets are sold at the Komodo Visitor Center in Labuan Bajo.[4]
  • Keep a buffer day: If you start a liveaboard trip, arrive a day early in Labuan Bajo in case a flight is delayed.
