Choose Your Trip
Choose Your Komodo Boat Tour
Komodo National Park is the one place on Earth where you can watch a three-metre dragon patrol a beach in the morning, snorkel beside reef manta rays after lunch, and end the day on a pink-sand beach that genuinely is pink.
Komodo Boat Tour — 1 Day by Speedboat (Private)
The fastest way into the park. Depart Labuan Bajo around 5:30 AM, hike Padar Island at sunrise, meet komodo dragons with a ranger, snorkel Pink Beach and Manta Point, and be back for dinner. Covers 5–6 stops in a single day — ideal if you flew in from Bali the evening before.
Shared Komodo Boat Tour — 3D2N (Our Best Seller)
Two nights aboard a liveaboard phinisi, the full circuit of the park at an unhurried pace — Padar sunrise, Komodo Island dragon trekking, Pink Beach, Manta Point, Taka Makassar sandbar, Kanawa or Kelor, and Kalong at dusk. This is the itinerary 7 out of 10 of our guests choose.
Private & Luxury Charters
Your own phinisi, your own itinerary, your own pace. Riley starts at USD 4,350 per trip; our flagship Catnazse runs USD 7,100–8,000 with suite cabins and a full crew. Perfect for honeymoons, families, and groups.

Our Fleet
Own Fleet, Not a Reseller
From the budget-friendly Malca to the luxury Catnazse, every vessel below is one we actually operate or charter week in, week out as part of Komodo Luxury.
Ayvara
The boat that changed what a shared komodo boat tour can feel like. Fitted out cabin-first, which is why most of our guests choose her for the classic 3-day, 2-night itinerary.
Malca
Runs the same route as boats charging double — Padar viewpoint, Komodo dragon trekking, Pink Beach, Manta Point, Kalong sunset — with simpler cabins and a friendly communal deck.
Riley
Once your group hits four people, private charter maths start beating share-trip maths. Families with children book Riley more than any other boat in our fleet.
Catnazse
The phinisi silhouette with genuinely premium interiors: a crew-to-guest ratio that feels like a boutique hotel, and dining that goes well beyond boat food. The boat we recommend for milestone trips.
Lady Grace
Runs the 4D3N Lombok-to-Komodo crossing that lets you begin your journey from the Bali side, including the option to swim with whale sharks in Saleh Bay.
Day-Trip Speedboats
Modern twin- or triple-engine speedboats, not converted fishing hulls: life jackets for every seat, shade canopy, and crews who read the Flores Sea daily.
Prices exclude the Komodo National Park fee of IDR 650,000 per person (~USD 45–50), paid locally.
Inside the Park
What You Will See Inside Komodo National Park
Every itinerary is built around the park's five signature experiences:
Padar Island
The three-bay panorama from the Padar viewpoint is the most photographed vista in Indonesia. We schedule it at sunrise, before the heat and the crowds.
Komodo dragons
Guided ranger trekking on Komodo Island or Rinca Island to see the world's largest lizard in the wild. Rinca offers denser sightings; Komodo offers the iconic landscape.
Pink Beach
Red coral fragments mixed into white sand create a genuinely pink shore, with superb snorkelling metres from the beach.
Manta Point
Drift-snorkel above a cleaning station where reef mantas with 3–4 metre wingspans glide below you. Best consistency from December to March, good sightings year-round.
Kalong Island
At dusk, thousands of flying foxes pour out of the mangroves across an orange sky. Only overnight guests see this one.
Getting There
From Bali to Komodo: How It Actually Works
Here is the honest logistics answer most operators bury: Komodo National Park is about 500 km east of Bali, and there is no same-day boat that makes sense for a holiday. You have two good options.
| What Matters | Option 2 — Sail from Lombok | Option 1 — Fly, then cruise |
|---|---|---|
| Who picks it | Travellers who want the journey to be part of the adventure | What 90% of guests do |
| Getting there | 4D3N Lady Grace sails Lombok to Labuan Bajo through the islands east of Bali | Fly Bali (DPS) to Labuan Bajo (LBJ) in about one hour |
| Cost | IDR 22,500,000 (~USD 1,365) per cabin for two | Typically USD 60–120 each way with Garuda, Batik, Citilink or Wings Air |
| Time to the park | 3–4 days of sailing, with snorkelling stops along the way | Land in the morning and be on Padar Island by the next sunrise |
| The bonus | An optional stop at Saleh Bay to snorkel with whale sharks | We time every itinerary around these flights and advise which departure to book |
Either way, tell us your Bali hotel and travel dates on WhatsApp and we arrange the whole chain — flight advice, airport pickup in Labuan Bajo, boat, park permits, and drop-off. One conversation, zero logistics stress.

When To Go
Best Time to Take a Komodo Boat Tour
The dry season from April to November is the best window: calm seas, reliable sunshine, and 20–30 metre visibility for snorkelling.
July and August are peak months — book 4–8 weeks ahead for share trip cabins and 2–3 months ahead for private charters.
December to March brings occasional rain and livelier seas, but also the best manta ray activity and the greenest, most dramatic version of Padar's hills. We sail year-round and will tell you honestly if a forecast warrants rescheduling.
- April–November: calm seas, reliable sunshine, 20–30 m visibility
- July–August: peak season, book 4–8 weeks ahead for cabins
- December–March: best manta ray activity, greenest Padar
