Then you take a 20mins flight to Rote Island Airport [RTI] where our team will be waiting for you. Please note that airlines do charge for surfboards and there may be limitations on surf bag sizes. Contact us and we will assist you with all that. If the equipment cannot fit in the airplane, we will bring it by ferry [extra charges apply]
Option 2 – Combo Plane and Fast Ferry
Fly into Kupang and then get the Fast Ferry [Bahari Express] to Rote that takes around 1.30-2.00hs. They operate depending on good sea and wind conditions being, therefore, less reliable than taking the short flight between Kupang and Rote.
