Continue by air: Usually requires a connection, commonly via Bali; allow roughly 2–4 hours of flying time plus the layover.

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.
