Flights, boats, boarding

Getting to Lombok

Fly into LOP or cross from Bali by fast boat. Either way the transfer to your vessel is arranged as part of the charter.

Fly to Lombok International Airport (LOP) at Praya, or cross from Bali by fast boat - charters board at Bangsal or Senggigi on the northwest coast, and we arrange the road transfer either way.

  • Lombok International Airport (LOP), Praya
  • Or fast boat direct from Bali
  • Board at Bangsal or Senggigi
  • Transfers included in the charter

Three ways in

How people arrive

Most guests use one of these. Tell us which and the rest is handled.

Fly to LOP

Lombok International Airport at Praya, in the south. Road transfer north to the harbour, about two hours.

Fast boat from Bali

Direct crossings from Bali to the northwest coast. Around two hours to the Gilis in good conditions.

Via Bali (DPS)

International into Denpasar, then a short hop to LOP or the fast boat. The most common route from outside Indonesia.

On the day

From landing to lines off

  1. We meet you

    A driver at arrivals with your name. No queue, no negotiating a fare.

  2. North to the coast

    Around two hours from LOP to Bangsal or Senggigi, depending on traffic through Mataram.

  3. Board

    Tender out to the vessel, cabins, briefing, and a check dive if there is light left.

  4. Diving

    The North Gilis are inside the first afternoon, not the second day.

Disembarkation is usually Lembar in the southwest on a four-night route, or back at Bangsal on seven.

Timing the arrival

Land before mid-afternoon if you can. It gives the transfer daylight and gets you aboard in time for a check dive rather than a dark tender ride.

A night in Senggigi or on Gili Trawangan before boarding is worth it after a long-haul flight, and we can arrange it.

Leave a buffer on the outbound. Fast boats cancel in bad weather, and you do not want a charter ending against an international connection the same afternoon.
