Common Questions

Cruise FAQ

How do I get to the Lombok cruise departure point?

Fly into Lombok International Airport (LOP). We arrange private transfers to Kayangan Harbour (1.5 hours by car). Domestic flights to LOP run multiple times daily from Jakarta, Bali, Surabaya and Singapore.

When is the best time of year to cruise to Komodo from Lombok?

April to October offers the calmest seas and best visibility. Whale shark sightings in Saleh Bay peak May to September. The marine park is open year-round; November to March can have weather days requiring itinerary flexibility.

What if seas are too rough on certain days?

The captain has full authority to adjust the itinerary for guest safety. Alternative anchorages and snorkel sites are pre-planned. Refunds for missed days are rare as the route is sheltered for most of the year.

Is the Lombok cruise suitable for non-swimmers?

Yes. Most activities have shore options — Kenawa hike, Padar trek, Pink Beach lounge, and Rinca komodo walk all require no swimming. Snorkel sites have lifejackets and crew supervision for swimmers of all levels.
