How much does the ferry from Lombok to Sumbawa cost?

The cost of the ferry from Lombok to Sumbawa depends on the operator, the type of vessel, the date, whether you travel as a foot passenger or with a car, and the seat or cabin you choose. A conventional ferry is cheaper than a high-speed one; a summer Saturday costs more than a weekday in May; a car adds a vehicle fare; a cabin on an overnight sailing adds more. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price: we verify the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost through WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

What we include in the price we send: the ticket for each passenger, the vehicle if you bring one, any reserved seat or cabin you asked for, port taxes, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the e-ticket and answering questions before and during the crossing.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Lombok to Sumbawa: how to pay less

The cheapest ferry ticket from Lombok to Sumbawa is usually on the conventional ferry, booked early, on a weekday outside the peak weeks. These are the rules our team applies:

• Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and often more scenic
• Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
• Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
• Tell us if your dates are flexible; moving by a day often changes the fare
• Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
• Price the crossing with and without the car - for two people a rental at the other end is sometimes cheaper

We answer "what is the cheapest way to get from Lombok to Sumbawa by ferry?" many times a day; the answer for your date comes back by WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.
