Purcitron, the Pelni ferry travels from Labuan Bajo to Surabaya via Lombo and will carry your motorbike. It is not a daily ferry, so you will need to plan and schedule in advance.
However, if you are able to ride the bike back it would be much easier - take the overnight ferry from Labuan Bajo to Sape, ride all the way across Sumbawa the next day (direct route via Mataram), and catch the ferry to Lombok that evening.
Daryl, good to hear you are all set and ready to go. The GIVI topboxes are brilliant, I've had one for over 10 years and they are a great way to keep your luggage secure whilst on the road, combined with ease of removal for overnight stops.
Give me a call if I can help further, I'll likely be riding a Honda 110 in Japan too.

Shipping from Darwin
Hello all,
I've not fully read the blog so ignore this if you have already found shipping.
My girlfriend and I are planning a to get to East-Timor too but on a different date. I managed to get in touch with this company, very helpful and even this she may take awhile to reply when she's looking for information she does reply in the end.
Darwin to East-Timor shipping company alzira.layleong@bollore.com
I'm pasting a copy of an image for the Dili costs below.

Below is a cost for crated.

$460.77
And uncrated.

$875.02
If the images don't show PM me.
Hope it helps.
Lee.

thanks for the info.
i emailed https://www.pelni.co.id/ asking if the ship between Labuan Bajo and Lombok allows motorbikes on board.
their answer was not clear.. language barrier.
but the ship is named "KM.Tilongkabila".
does this info seem correct to you?

The airfreight option sounds great. Would you be able to get some info on that, like agent or contacts?
Going that way soon

Aus to Indo
Hi All.
I will want to ship my bike from Darwin across to Indo towards the end of this year. Is going via Dili, in East Timor the only option or would I be able to go to an Indonesian port? Is there a ferry from West Timor across to the next island?
I'm in two minds whether to wait until I reach Darwin to sort this out or get things organised well ahead of time. How easy would it be to get the bike crated up in Darwin?
Any suggestions, names of shipping companies etc. would be much appreciated.
Final thought. If any of you are planning to ride through Indo and then across to Malaysia, what options have you found for shipping at that end of the journey?
With regards to the Indo visa, how did you overcome their requirement to have a ticket out of the country?
Thanks for any help,
Geoff

ANL/Toll is the company that have ships from Darwin to Dili. The same ship is also docking at Singapore - so you could of course ship your bike there as well.
But my advice is not to skip the south-eastern most islands in Indonesia, Flores, Sumbawa, Lombok as those are well worth spending some on. And the traffic is much lighter than Bali, Java and parts of Sumatra. On those places the traffic is just totally insane - its not possible to describe it with words as it has to be experinced.
There are ferries from Kupang in West-Timor to at least two destinations on Flores - Aimere and Larantuka so no worries about that.
If youre shipping back to Australia from Malaysia I guess airfreight is a possibility, or maybe ANL/Toll from Singapore and back to Darwin could be an option?
Ticket out of Indonesia - well if you book a full price ticket it will in most cases be refundable. Or you could just book a cheap ticket from Bali and throw it in the litter.

Thanks for all the info Snakeboy.
I've had some contact with a company called Bollore too. They also go to Dili. I think it's the one that Daryl is using After Malaysia I'll be heading to Thailand then Myanmar and India - I hope. Getting the bike into Thailand is a whole other box of frogs since they've introduced new regulations.
So it looks like Dili is the best option and going there will add another country to the list of those visited.
Cheers,
Geoff

Hi guys,
I'm in Darwin and just packed my bike into a container so I'll let you know what I've found with shipping so far:
-There was only one bike shop (NT motorcycles) that had crates and they were charging $150 for them. I didn't try to bargain because I thought the guys were rude but you might have some luck (I saw the crates in a skip outside for recycling later).
-They offered two crate sizes, the smallest was was ~2.5 CBM
-In the end the crated cost was almost identical to the uncrated so I just shipped uncrated for ~ 850 AUD on this side.
-If you really want to save $$ you could investigate putting together your own wooden crate with a smaller volume
I also went with Bollore logistics - their crated prices were quite a lot cheaper then dealing directly with ANL and they were very friendly and helpful. I didn't check their uncrated prices against ANL.
Let me know if you want to know the actual numbers.
Jason

I didnt use any crate at all when shipping Dili - Darwin last year with ANL/Toll. We put the bike directly into a container. You will need to buy decent straps though. They costed 20 USD a piece and one needed 4 straps.

Hi Snakeboy, can I ask you how much it cost you in total?
And how long it took?
And did you deal directly with ANL or an agent?
Will probably go the same way in 2 months.
Thank a lot for info
Michael

I contacted ANL/Toll directly so no agent involved.
The cost was 850 USD on the Timor side and another 230 AUSD in Darwin.
It took 18 days as far as I remember. The ship is sailing Darwin-Dili-Singapore-Darwin - so thats why.
This was last year september/october.
