Overview of the Tour

This special Lombok to Komodo boat trip is available in 2026 with departures on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

  3. Private Boat Trip — tailored for groups or individual travelers who want exclusive privacy (not included in standard shared pricing).

Best Time to Travel

The best time to do the Lombok to Komodo tour is during the dry season (April to September). In this period, calm seas and sunny weather create ideal conditions for sailing, snorkeling, and swimming. Heavy rains and rough seas are more common during the wet season (October to March), which can lead to rescheduling or cancellations.

  • Dry Season Highlights: Calm waters, clearer visibility for snorkeling, smoother sailing.
  • Wet Season Highlights: Lush green landscapes and fewer crowds, but potentially rougher sea conditions and lower water clarity.
