Lombok seaplane booking is charter-only and quote-based. Send your route, travel date, passenger count and luggage weight to the concierge desk. You receive an operator quotation in IDR with the charter fee, airport fees and tax itemised separately. Confirm by payment against the operator’s invoice, and the operator then issues your flight confirmation with the manifest and check-in details.
There is no seat-by-seat purchase page for this route. The published South Bali (Ngurah Rai) to Lombok International Airport (LOP) charter runs about 24 minutes on the amphibious Cessna Grand Caravan 208B EX, flown by Santai Seaplane (PT Santai Seaplane Aviation) under Indonesian partner AOC PT Wisarada Sapanta Utama, AOC 135-067, or another carrier the operator names at quotation stage. Every fare below is billed as a full-aircraft charter, up to 8 guests, and is current as of 18 September 2026 — subject to change without notice.
What does a Lombok seaplane charter cost?
| Route | Flight time | Full charter (one way) | Per guest, 8 pax, before fees | Booking status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| South Bali (Ngurah Rai) → Lombok Airport (LOP) | ~24 min | Rp 33,345,456 + Rp 17,550,240 airport fees + Rp 6,142,584 tax | ~Rp 4,168,182 | Published route — quote to confirm |
| Scenic Bali flight (sightseeing, returns to origin) | ~40 min | ~Rp 43.9 million full charter | ~Rp 5,484,450 + Rp 2,193,780 airport fee each | Published route — quote to confirm |
| Mandalika, Senggigi or south-coast transfer | Varies | Quote-only | Quote-only | No published tariff as of 18 Sep 2026 |
| Mount Rinjani scenic overflight | Varies | Quote-only | Quote-only | Overflight only — no landing inside Taman Nasional Gunung Rinjani |

Airport fees and government tax sit on top of the charter fee and are shown separately on every quotation. For context, a scheduled DPS–LOP airline seat runs from about Rp 775,000 one way; the seaplane charter is a private-aircraft product, not a discount alternative to a commercial ticket.
How does Lombok seaplane booking actually work?
Five steps take a booking from first message to wheels-up. Juara Holding Group (JHG) runs the desk end to end and relays every step to the operator’s reservations team — JHG does not hold the flight itself.
| Step | What happens | Typical timing |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Enquiry | You send route, date, passenger count and luggage details via WhatsApp or email | Same-day reply from the desk |
| 2. Availability check | The desk relays the request to the operator’s reservations team for aircraft and slot confirmation | Usually within 24 hours |
| 3. Quotation | Operator issues an itemised IDR quote — charter fee, airport fees, tax listed separately, with a stated validity window | Quote typically valid a few days; reconfirm before it lapses |
| 4. Payment | You pay against the operator’s invoice to lock the slot | Due before the quotation expires |
| 5. Day-of-flight | Operator finalises the manifest, checks weight and weather, and briefs check-in at the departure terminal | Morning of departure, weather and regulatory clearance permitting |
What we need from you
- Full passenger names exactly as they appear on passport or ID — names must match the flight manifest
- Passenger count, including any children, and approximate weight per person (the aircraft carries up to 8 guests total)
- Luggage pieces and total weight
- Pickup or drop-off address for your Lombok or Bali resort
- Arrival flight number if you are connecting from an international or domestic flight
- Preferred date plus one backup date, since seaplane departures are weather-dependent
How far ahead should you book?
Book as early as your travel dates are fixed, ideally several days to a couple of weeks ahead for the South Bali–Lombok or scenic Bali routes, since the aircraft is chartered whole and slots are limited. Routes without a published tariff — Mandalika-area transfers, Senggigi, south-coast bays, Rinjani scenic flights and Banyuwangi–Lombok — need extra lead time because the operator prices and clears each one individually before confirming availability. Peak-season weeks around Indonesian public holidays fill faster, so an enquiry sent even before your exact date is set helps the desk flag capacity early.
What does the quotation include?
Every quotation itemises three lines: the aircraft charter fee, airport fees for up to 8 guests, and government tax. Nothing is bundled into a single headline number. The quote states its validity period — pay within that window or the fare and slot are no longer guaranteed. What it does not include: ground transport beyond the terminal, resort transfers, or any accommodation — JHG arranges those separately on request as part of the wider itinerary. A route with no published tariff, such as a direct Mandalika drop, returns as a custom quotation once the operator confirms it can be flown.
Can you change or cancel a Lombok seaplane booking?
Change and cancellation terms are set by the operator, not by JHG, and are stated on your specific quotation and invoice — read them before you pay. As an independent broker, JHG relays your change request to the operator’s reservations team and confirms the outcome back to you; JHG cannot waive or override an operator’s payment or cancellation terms. Because availability is never guaranteed until the operator confirms, and water-landing or weather clearance can shift a departure, build a buffer day into any itinerary that depends on the flight landing on schedule.
Do foreigners need anything extra for a domestic leg?
A Bali–Lombok seaplane crossing is a domestic flight, so there is no immigration checkpoint and no separate visa step for this leg. What does apply: the name on your passport or ID must match the manifest exactly, and standard Indonesia entry requirements — e-VOA or Visa on Arrival at Rp 500,000 for 30 days (extendable once to 60), or 30-day visa-free entry for eligible nationalities, plus the Bali tourism levy of Rp 150,000 and the digital arrival card — apply to your overall trip, not to the seaplane segment itself. Bring the same ID you used at international arrival to check-in for the seaplane.
Book through the concierge desk
Juara Holding Group is an independent charter broker and travel concierge, established 2015 in Bali and Labuan Bajo. JHG holds no Air Operator Certificate, operates no aircraft, and is not an official partner, agent or affiliate of Santai Seaplane, Seaplane Asia or any operator named on a quotation — the desk arranges quotes, itineraries and ground logistics with licensed partners, and never sells individual seats. For network-wide booking beyond Lombok, bookseaplane.com runs a dedicated seaplane booking desk, and indonesiaseaplane.com covers how seaplane travel works nationally across all priority locations.
To start a Lombok seaplane booking, message the desk on WhatsApp at (https://wa.me/6281139414563) or email bd@juaraholding.com with your route, date, passenger count and luggage details. You will receive an itemised operator quotation before any payment is requested.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I book just one seat on the Lombok seaplane, or is it always the whole aircraft?
The Lombok seaplane product is sold as a full-aircraft charter, not individual seats — the operator does not offer per-seat ticketing on this route. Up to 8 guests share one aircraft and one quotation. If you are travelling alone or in a small group, the desk can advise on cost-sharing options or flag any scheduled group departures the operator later introduces, but as of 18 September 2026 none are published.
How is the Lombok seaplane price shown on the quotation — is it per person or for the whole flight?
Quotations are issued as a full-charter figure first, itemised into the aircraft fee, airport fees and tax. The desk can also show you a per-guest breakdown for budgeting, calculated by dividing the full charter across your actual passenger count — but the operator invoices and confirms the booking against the full-aircraft total, not a per-seat charge.
Does the seaplane land directly at Mandalika or Senggigi?
Not currently. The operator’s published Lombok product lands at Lombok International Airport (LOP) in Praya, about 16 to 17 kilometres from Mandalika (roughly 20 to 30 minutes by road) and roughly 1 to 2 hours by road from Senggigi. Regional reports mention a proposed Batujai seaplane hub and other water-landing sites in Lombok, but none is confirmed operational as of 18 September 2026 — any direct water landing would be quoted and confirmed separately once the operator clears it.
What happens if my flight is delayed or cancelled for weather?
Amphibious seaplane operations are weather-dependent, and the operator makes the final call on whether a departure proceeds. If a flight is delayed or cancelled, the operator’s terms on your invoice govern rebooking or refund, and the desk relays the new options to you as soon as the operator confirms them. Booking a backup date or building a buffer day before onward international connections reduces the impact of a weather hold.
Can JHG issue my flight ticket directly, or do I deal with the operator too?
JHG runs the enquiry, quotation relay and logistics coordination, but the operator issues the actual flight confirmation, manifest and check-in instructions once payment clears — JHG is the coordination desk, not the AOC holder. You will typically receive the operator’s confirmation copied to you or forwarded by the desk, so you always have the flight-issuing party’s documentation in hand before departure day.
