How to get to Moyo Island

How to get to Moyo Island The only way to get to Moyo Island is by going to Sumbawa first. You can reach Sumbawa with a boat from Lombok, or by flying to the capital of the island: Sumbawa Besar. The harbor to go to Moyo Island is in Sumbawa Besar. The boat departs every morning from the harbor in Sumbawa Besar. There is no fixed schedule, or any place to buy tickets, so you just have to go there, and hope for the best.

This is the location of the harbor in Sumbawa Besar.

I would recommend staying at Han’s Villa, in Sumbawa Besar first. There they helped us, by taking us to the harbor the day before we wanted to go to Moyo Island. They know the leader of the harbor, and they will bring you in contact with him. Through the people at Han’s Villa, and the leader of the harbor, we knew everything we needed to know to get to Moyo Island the next day.

If you don’t want to stay at Han’s Villa, I would recommend going to the harbor and asking around. If you want to take the boat in the morning I would recommend being there early, maybe around 08:00 in the morning.

The price of the boat depends on the type of boat. You have a public boat that is used to bring trade and food from Moyo Island to Sumbawa Besar, and the other way around. This is the cheaper option. Sometimes there will also be a speedboat, which will be more expensive. The speedboat will be used mainly for tourists who want to go to Moyo Island.
