How to get from Komodo to Lombok

11 August 2025

Wings Air has recently introduced a convenient daily intercity flight from Labuan Bajo to Lombok, making it easier than ever to connect two of Indonesia’s most captivating destinations. A journey to Komodo offers extraordinary natural wonders, from the legendary Komodo dragons to pristine coral reefs, and pairs perfectly with a luxurious stay at The Lombok Lodge Boutique Hotel or Lombok Private Villa Estate. This seamless connection allows discerning travellers to experience the best of both worlds — the raw beauty of Komodo and the refined elegance of Lombok.

KOMODO ISLAND

The impressive Komodo National Park is located between Indonesia’s Flores and Sumbawa Island in the East Nusa Tenggara province and at a short 1 hour and 20 minutes flight from Lombok.

On Komodo Island, you are invited to step into the enchanting world of the Komodo dragon, the famous prehistoric lizard that is said to be “the last dinosaurs in the world”. If you’re looking for a unique, unforgettable experience, a trip to this stunning land is definitely in order. However, there’s a lot more to see and do in the Komodo Islands other than trying to stalk a Komodo Dragon for a selfie. When you’re planning a trip to this magical world, here are a few activities that you definitely can’t miss.

WHY SHOULD YOU GO TO KOMODO

Komodo National Park

UNESCO named Komodo National Park a World Heritage Site and a Man and Biosphere Reserve in 1986. The park includes 29 volcanic islands, with Komodo, Rinca, and Padar as the largest. Around 2,500 Komodo dragons roam here, along with rare reptiles, exotic birds, and unique mammals.

Scuba Diving
Scuba diving ranks among the best things to do in the Komodo Islands. Not a certified diver? Snorkeling in these waters is equally unforgettable. The marine life here is rich, colorful, and still blissfully uncrowded.

Hiking Treks
Komodo offers world-class hiking for nature lovers. Trails like Satalibo, Regata Hill, and the dramatic ridges of Padar Island deliver sweeping views and spectacular photo spots.

Pink BeachNeed a break from trekking? Head to the island’s pristine shores. Pink Beach, famous for its soft blush-colored sand, is a must for your travel bucket list.

Labuan Bajo
Labuan Bajo is more than a gateway to Komodo. Food lovers can savor authentic local dishes at Kampung Ujung. For sunsets, visit Bukit Cinta, Bukit Amelia, or Bukit Silvia — each offering the best views in town.
