For guests travelling between Flores and Lombok, this trip turns the journey into the holiday. Instead of flying over the islands, they sail through them, sleeping on board for three nights.
The Standard route starts at Kelor Island and Long Beach, with the first night anchored near Padar. Day two begins with sunrise at Padar, followed by Komodo Island, Pink Beach and Manta Point. Day three follows the Sumbawa coast to Moyo Island's waterfall and Medang. On day four guests watch sunrise on Kenawa Island and arrive at Kayangan Port in Lombok between 08:00 and 09:00.
A free shuttle takes guests to Mataram, Senggigi or Lombok airport. This version ends in Lombok; for guests who want to continue to the Gili Islands, see our 5D4N Gili Trawangan trip.

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.
