This ferry will provide passage to the island of Komodo two to three times per week. Komodo is a relatively remote destination, and you will not find any regular transport to or from the island outside of the Labuanbajo ferry. Labuanbajo also connects in Bima, which is a short drive from Sape. In Bima you will find an airport to and from the Indonesian islands.

There are many ways of getting to Komodo, but your safest and most opportune is through the Labuan Bajo. This is due to high volumes of traffic and inclement weather.
