HOW TO REACH KOMODO ISLAND

  • Flight - If you're traveling by air, the nearest airport is Labuan Bajo Airport (also known as Komodo Island Airport), which serves both Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport and Jakarta. After disembarking the plane, it's a 3-4 hour boat ride west to reach the Komodo Islands.
  • Sea - To experience the true joy of island hopping, you should plan to visit Komodo and board a liveaboard that covers two islands east of Bali. For travelers who want to take a Komodo tour by boat, this liveaboard offers multi-day dive cruises from Bali. There are liveaboards in the form of yachts and imitations of traditional wooden Phinisi sailboats, with luxurious cabins, state-of-the-art navigation and quality onboard equipment.

HOW TO GET AROUND

  • Private Renting - Most private cars are actually small minivans that comfortably seat 8-10 people. So if you can share the cost with your fellow travelers, it's a great deal.
  • Taxi - Taxis are available everywhere in Java (except small villages). Bluebird and Express taxis have a good reputation. The former even has a handy mobile app for online booking.
  • Ojeks - A Motorcycle Transport that only runs around nightfall, it is well-trusted by the locals for daily commute around night. It doesn't have a running meter, so bargaining is not possible, the rates are fixed.
