Which boat should you choose?
Compare the boats by cabin type, price per person and the dates that fit your flights. Larger cabins with a private bathroom cost more per person; smaller cabins keep the price down. If you travel as a group, ask about chartering the whole boat.
Lombok to Labuan Bajo or Labuan Bajo to Lombok?
Both directions follow the same stops in a different order. Choose the one that matches where you land and where you fly out. Starting in Lombok lets you finish with a flight home from Labuan Bajo; starting in Labuan Bajo lets you finish in Lombok, close to the Gili islands and Bali.
