  At about 45 min. from Dompu there is one of the most consistent and laid back places on Indonesia, Lakey Peak. At Lakey Peak it´s not necessary to have a transport as all the surf spots are located very close to each other and there is not much to do apart from surfing and relaxing. A bit of fishing sometimes, a good dive and that’s about it.

  There are many ways to get to Lakeys but the most exciting way is overland still, not to mention the chances of scoring one of the many breaks on the way uncrowded and smoking, all depends on your luck.

  Leaving Bali is better when its done at night as it takes only 2 hours to the place where you will take the ferry to Lombok (Padang Bay) and after it´s 4 hours in the ferry until you get to Lombok island.

  Leave Kuta going towards Sanur and after you passed Sanur follow the signs that indicate the city of Gianyar that is on the way to Padang Bay and where you will finally find signs indicating how to get there.

  At Padang bay there are Ferries to Lombok every two hours. Keep in mind that the vehicles leaving Bali, BY THE LAW, must have a document sign by the owner of the vehicle authorizing the car to be taken to another island. Without this document, a “Special Tax” (around USD 20,00) can be arranged with the officers on duty to solve the problem.

  The ideal is to leave Kuta around 8 pm arriving at Padang Bay around 10 pm to get to Lombok before sunrise. This way you can also avoid the “wonderful” traffic of trucks and buses that are common during the day in between Kuta and Padang Bay.

  At Lombok you will disembark at the harboring town of Lembar, drive then to the harboring town of Labuhan Lombok (place from where the ferry to Sumbawa leaves). Unless you want to check out some spot on Lombok.

  At Labuhan Lombok there are ferries to Sumbawa every 2 hours and the crossing takes only 1,5 hours, plus there is no hassle about the authorization of the vehicle to make crossing.

  At Sumbawa you will disembark at the harboring town of Labuhan Tano and can either go to Scar Reef, Super Sucks and Yoyo´s or go straight to Lakey Peak.

  If you get out from the ferry (Labuhan Tano) to go straight to Lakey Peak, it´s not necessary to go to Taliwang (on the way to Scar Reef) just follow the signs to Sumbawa Besar (few hours) where is possible to spend the night in a place with a bit more infrastructure as there are a few hotels and losmens besides restaurants, pharmacies, markets, a hospital and even an airport. After this, keep going to Dompu (another 4 hs) and then to Hu’u (another 45 min.) (Lakey Peak). The trip from Sumbawa Besar to Lakey Peak takes 5 hs in total.

  At Lakey Peak you will find a good variety of beach front losmens with different prices besides a very nice hotel (Aman Gati) with swimming pool, cable Tv, and rooms equipped with Tv, telephone, AC, Mini bar and hot water.

  The entire place has been developed on ocean front, all the losmens and restaurants from the area were built in this space of around 1 Km in front of the ocean, that´s why the place breath surfing and all there is to do is surf all day and spend the nights playing table games or watching surf videos or movies during dinner in one of the many restaurants spread in front of the beach where Fatima´s is the most traditional for many years owned by the French surfer Rachel married to the friendly Fatima, local from the area.
