Labuan Bajo — Pelni’s 8 November 2026 schedule update lists the KM Tilongkabila fare from Labuan Bajo to Makassar at IDR 200,000 (about US$12) and from Makassar to Labuan Bajo at IDR 328,500 (about US$20) for voyages 20, 21, 22 and 23. The schedule covers calls at Labuan Bajo through 23 December 2026, according to Pos Kupang.

The published route runs from Benoa through Lembar (Gilimas), Bima, Labuan Bajo, Makassar, Baubau, Raha, Kendari, Luwuk, Gorontalo and Bitung before returning through the same corridor. The report says the vessel was scheduled to berth in Makassar on 8 November and then depart for Labuan Bajo.

A separate December schedule lists Labuan Bajo calls on the Bitung–Denpasar and Denpasar–Bitung legs. It shows the vessel reaching Labuan Bajo from Makassar on 7 December at 16:00 WITA (UTC+8), and returning through Labuan Bajo on 10 December at 22:00 WITA.

Why the fares matter to Labuan Bajo travellers

The fares give travellers a published reference for the two-way sea connection between Labuan Bajo and Makassar. The schedule also places Labuan Bajo within a longer Pelni route linking ports in Bali, Flores, Sulawesi and North Sulawesi.

The December listing identifies further Labuan Bajo calls on 21 December during the Bitung–Denpasar voyage. The schedule information is attributed to Pelni’s published timetable and reported by Pos Kupang and Nurcholis.com.
