The Lombok to Komodo cruise is a luxury maritime experience sailing from Lombok Island to Komodo National Park. This 3-4 day journey combines scenic cruising, snorkeling, diving, and wildlife encounters with Komodo dragons. Your yacht navigates pristine waters while you explore remote beaches, coral gardens, and volcanic landscapes. It’s Indonesia’s most exclusive maritime tourism route, offering intimate access to UNESCO World Heritage sites with expert-led excursions and five-star onboard amenities.

The standard cruise duration is 3-4 days depending on your chosen itinerary. The typical three-day option departs Lombok, visits Pink Beach and Komodo National Park islands, and returns. Four-day cruises extend into remote atolls and additional snorkeling sites. All packages include overnight onboard accommodation with luxury cabin amenities, guided activities at each destination, and breakfast, lunch, and dinner prepared fresh daily by our culinary team.

Cruises depart from Bangsal Harbor in North Lombok, approximately 1.5 hours from Mataram International Airport. Our concierge arranges complimentary transfers from your Lombok hotel to the harbor on departure morning. The departure time is typically 9:00 AM to allow optimal daylight sailing. If you’re arriving in Bali, we offer a Bali pickup service (additional fee applies) with convenient early-morning coordination through our WhatsApp concierge team.

Your all-inclusive package includes: luxury cabin accommodation with ensuite facilities, all meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks), non-alcoholic beverages, guided island excursions with expert naturalists, snorkeling at premium coral sites, use of snorkeling equipment, park entrance fees, yacht fuel and operational costs, and professional crew services. Optional extras: alcoholic beverages, spa treatments, diving courses, sunset cocktails, and special celebration arrangements. See our detailed pricing page for transparent breakdown.

The optimal season runs April through November during Indonesia’s dry season with calm seas and excellent visibility for snorkeling and diving. Peak months are June-September when weather is most stable and water temperatures ideal (26-28°C). December-March is monsoon season with rougher seas, though still operationally feasible. Check our seasonal guide for detailed monthly conditions, wildlife viewing patterns, and last-minute booking availability. Book 2-3 months ahead for peak season guaranteed dates.

Custom quotes include dedicated expedition leader and tailored meal planning.
