Four days at sea on the wrong boat is a long crossing. Know the boat class and what the fees cover before you leave.

In mating season Komodo dragons often hide, and many groups go home without seeing one. Our local guides know where to find them. If you join one of our Komodo trips and do not see a Komodo dragon, we refund you.

Most Flores to Lombok crossings finish at a harbour in Lombok, leaving guests to find their own way on. Ours continues across Lombok by car, takes guests by speedboat to Gili Trawangan, and includes a hotel night and a glass-bottom snorkelling trip around the three Gili islands.
The first days are spent in Komodo National Park: Kelor, Padar at sunrise, Komodo Island, Pink Beach and Manta Point. The boat then follows the Sumbawa coast, with stops such as Moyo Island's waterfall, Medang and Kenawa Island at sunrise, before arriving in Lombok.
Guests choose from four boat classes. Standard (Travel Wise, Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday) and Deluxe (Menami, Tuesday) sail in five days. Luxury (Walenreng, Sunday) and Luxury Plus (Al Fathran 3, Sunday) take six days and add whale sharks in Saleh Bay.

An unforgettable experience that I'll always cherish!
From the very beginning, the admin team was incredibly patient with all my random questions since it was my first time joining an open trip. They were super helpful, explained everything clearly, and made the booking process so easy and hassle-free.
It was truly a wonderful journey with Arah Pesona. We couldn't stop feeling grateful from the very beginning — starting with the special discount promo we received during booking, and then getting a complimentary room upgrade when we arrived on the boat.
The itinerary was perfectly arranged, allowing us to experience the beauty of nature in a more peaceful atmosphere without overwhelming crowds. Because of that, we were able to fully enjoy every destination along the trip.
