Sape Port (Ferry) | Vehicle Shipping

The ferry runs about 5x/week but sometimes they cancel. They post a scheduled on their instagram (@pelabuhan_sape) but check stories for updates on cancellations/changes.

We arrived at 7:45 to buy tickets for the 10:30 ferry and it took us nearly 3 hours to buy a ticket.

You can book the tickets online (trip.ferizy.com) but you need to pay with an Indonesian bank account. If you can find someone with an Indonesian bank account, they can book it for you and you pay them.

We asked an official to help us because the ticket guy was mainly helping the locals. In exchange, we bought him a pack of cigarettes as a thank you.

The typical process is:
1. Fight the crowd and give your passports and vehicle registration to the worker at the table inside the ticket building
2. The worker makes the online reservation (on his phone) and you pay him
3. He gives a different guy your reservation code and he walks over to the other side of the room and gives the official ticket off your reservation code
4. The guy bring the ferry ticket back to you

We paid 485k IDR for a motorcycle sidecar and 2 people. Normal scooter price is 250k.

We left at 11:40 and arrived in Labuan Bajo at 19:30.

They sell noodles, boiled eggs, snacks, and drinks on the boat.
