    To go to Larat island can only be reached by sea, both from the Capital MTB, Saumlaki, nor by public ships from Surabaya. If it starts from Saumlaki, there are two motor boats with a capacity of 20 and 50 passengers. It takes about 4-5 hours from Saumlaki-Larat, it depending on the weather of the sea.



    The name of Larat is taken from the word Larit, which means Light.
