Senggigi · Mangsit · Mataram · the airport

Hotel pickup in Senggigi. Boat in the east.

Komodo boats do not leave from Senggigi beach. They leave from Kayangan Harbour on the far side of Lombok — so every departure starts with an early hotel pickup and a two-hour drive that we arrange, not you.

Pickup zone

Where we collect you, and how far it is.

Pickup runs from any hotel, resort or villa in Senggigi, Mangsit, Batu Layar and Mataram city. Indicative distances and drive times to the harbour, as of 2026.

Senggigi / Mangsit

±75 km to the harbour

The main hotel strip, and where most international guests spend their last night on land. Thirty to forty minutes from Mataram, and within easy reach of the airport.

  • 2 – 2.5 hours

Mataram city

±65 km to the harbour

Mataram hotels sit inside the standard pickup zone, and the shuttle collects here on the same loop as Senggigi.

  • 1.75 – 2 hours

Lombok International Airport

±60 km to the harbour

Airport pickups can be arranged for guests landing on the morning of departure, though arriving the day before is safer — a delayed flight cannot hold the boat.

  • 1.5 – 2 hours

Kuta Lombok

±75 km to the harbour

From the south coast, across the middle of the island rather than around it.

  • 2 – 2.5 hours

The road is sealed the whole way and crosses central Lombok's rice country, with a comfort stop for coffee en route. Properties north of Mangsit or on the outskirts of Mataram may need a small supplement — send the property name when you enquire and we will confirm.

What you can join

Three formats, the same pickup.

Every route we run from Lombok accepts Senggigi and Mataram pickups. What changes is the boat you are collected for.

  • Shared

    Shared 4D3N boat tour

    The classic sailing route with a small international group, deck or cabin accommodation, and all meals on board.

  • Private cabin

    Liveaboard

    The same island-hopping route with air-conditioned en-suite cabins and a higher standard of service throughout.

  • Whole boat

    Private charter

    Your own boat, your own dates and a fully custom route — built for families, honeymooners and groups of six or more.

Fast boat and one-way crossing options exist too, for travellers who need transport towards Flores rather than a full touring itinerary. Ask and we will point you at the right departure for your dates.

Departure morning

From your hotel door to the gangway.

  1. 01

    05:30 – 06:30 · pickup

    The pickup window at your Senggigi or Mataram hotel. Have breakfast boxed by the hotel if you are collected before the restaurant opens. Times vary by boat and season, and your confirmed time arrives by message the evening before.

  2. 02

    ±07:30 · comfort stop

    A short stop in central Lombok for coffee and snacks, roughly halfway across the island.

  3. 03

    08:30 – 09:30 · board

    Arrive at Kayangan Harbour, meet the crew, check in against the manifest and board.

  4. 04

    ±10:00 · cast off

    The boat sails east towards Kenawa Island and the Sumbawa coastline, and lunch is served on board. From there it is three nights at sea to Labuan Bajo.

Asked from the hotel lobby

Four questions about pickup.

All the questions, answered

Can you collect me from Mataram or the airport instead?

Yes. Mataram city hotels sit inside the standard pickup zone, and airport pickups can be arranged for guests landing on the morning of departure — though we recommend arriving the day before, because a delayed flight cannot hold the boat.

Does the boat bring me back to Senggigi?

No. The classic route is one-way and ends in Labuan Bajo, Flores, where most guests fly onward to Bali or Jakarta. If you need to come back to Lombok, reverse-direction departures from Labuan Bajo also run and we can pair them with your dates.

What should I have ready on pickup morning?

Your passport, which is checked against the boat manifest. Cash or card for park fees if they are not prepaid. Motion-sickness tablets if you are sensitive, and a small day bag — large luggage is stowed on board. Wear something comfortable for the two-hour drive.

Can I book last minute from my hotel?

Often, yes. Shared boats hold seats until shortly before departure when space allows, so message us even one or two days ahead and we will tell you honestly what is still open. In July and August, booking earlier is strongly advised.
