Ferries Lombok

Most ferry companies traveling to and from Lombok offer discounts for specific passenger categories, including:

• Infants and toddlers up to 2-3 years old (often travel for free)
• Children 3-12 years old (age limits and discounts vary by company)

When booking your ticket on Ferryhopper, simply select the route that suits you, choose the discount you are eligible for, and it will be applied to your final ticket price.

Like the rest of the islands of the Indonesian archipelago, Lombok is an excellent year-round destination. However, the dry season (May to September) is the most popular time to visit thanks to clear skies, calm seas, and optimal conditions for snorkeling and diving. During this period, demand for ferry tickets to Lombok is higher. If you plan on traveling during the dry season, booking your ferry tickets 1-2 months in advance is best. The rest of the year, tickets are typically available even a few days before departure.

Lombok is the perfect mix of unspoiled nature, quiet beaches, and traditional villages, serving as an alternative to Bali’s busier and more cosmopolitan vibe. The island is home to Mount Rinjani, Indonesia’s second-highest volcano, where adventurous travelers can embark on challenging treks with panoramic views from the summit.

From the world-class surfing spots at Selong Belanak to the laid-back vibes of Senggigi, Lombok caters to all types of travelers, whether you're chasing waves, hiking trails, or simply lounging on uncrowded beaches. 

Here are a few helpful tips to ensure a smooth journey and a great stay in Lombok:

• Sea conditions may vary, especially during Indonesia’s rainy season (November to April). Remember to check the weather forecast before your trip and plan for possible delays.
• Ferries to Lombok typically do not transport vehicles, but rental scooters and cars are available upon arrival on the island.
• The official currency is the Indonesian rupiah. While major tourist areas accept cards, carrying cash is recommended, especially for smaller shops and markets.
• Most ferry companies have luggage restrictions, so it’s best to pack light for a comfortable and hassle-free journey.
• Ports that serve connections to Lombok tend to be quite busy, especially during the dry season. We advise you to be at the port 30 to 60 minutes before departure, as ferries can fill quickly.
• Lombok ports are well-connected with other nearby destinations, offering smooth ferry access for island-hoppers and travelers seeking a tropical escape.

Ferry services and amenities on routes to Lombok depend on the vessel and ferry company. Most ferry trips are short and operated by high-speed ferries. These vessels offer indoor seating, but do not provide cabins.

Please note that most ferry companies operating routes to and from Lombok do not allow pets on board. If you plan to travel with your pet, always confirm the company’s pet policy before booking.

Lombok is served by multiple ferry ports which include:  

• Bangsal Port: this is Lombok’s main passenger ferry terminal, located in the north of the island. 
• Senggigi Port: located on the west coast, Senggigi is a quieter alternative to Bangsal.

Both ports provide easy access to taxis, shuttle services, and rental vehicles for onward travel around the island.
