Continue by air: Usually requires a connection, commonly via Bali; allow roughly 2–4 hours of flying time plus the layover.
By sea: There is no simple regular direct Lombok–Sumba passenger ferry. A sea journey requires several separate ferry and road legs via Sumbawa/Flores and is a multi-day expedition; flying is the practical option.
Road times vary with traffic, weather and the exact departure point. Confirm current opening hours, boat schedules and entrance fees with the SistersZ team before setting out.
