Komodo Tour Packages: Sailing, Speedboat and Multi-Day Phinisi Trips

The right Komodo tour length depends on what you want to see and how much time you have in Labuan Bajo. A one day trip covers Padar, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Taka Makassar, Manta Point, and Kanawa by speedboat and is the shortest way to hit the main attractions. 3D2N adds Kalong Island for sunset flying foxes, Gili Lawa for sunrise, and an overnight dive or two. 4D3N opens space for Siaba turtles, Batu Bolong for certified divers, and a slower pace at Pink Beach. 7D6N goes deeper into Flores's northern archipelago. 9D8N and 11D10N are full expedition itineraries that reach remote dive sites and hidden bays rarely visited by shorter trips. For travellers with more than a week, the Komodo to Sumbawa 8D7N crosses into Moyo Island, Satonda's crater lake, and Saleh Bay for whale sharks.

Every multi-day phinisi tour is offered in two formats. A private charter means the entire vessel, crew, and itinerary are dedicated to your group, with full control over the route, activity pace, and cabin assignments. Starting rates for private charters range from USD 3,500 per day for smaller phinisi up to IDR 138.500.000 for the 4D3N on larger luxury yachts. Shared open trips let solo travellers, couples, or small groups book by the cabin and join a fixed departure with other guests, typically priced from USD 350 per person on open-trip phinisi. Shared trips run on set schedules and follow a standard itinerary, while private charters can be modified day-by-day for weather, diving, or photography plans. The speedboat one day trip also follows the same split: shared at IDR 1.450.000 per person or private at IDR 11.800.000 per boat.

Komodo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to around 1,300 Komodo dragons, the world's largest lizard species averaging 2 to 3 metres long. Padar Island, the third-largest island in the park, is the source of the famous three-bay viewpoint and a 30 to 45 minute climb. Pink Beach is one of only seven pink-sand beaches on Earth, with snorkelling directly off the shore. Manta Point, near Makassar Reef, is a reliable manta ray cleaning station. Taka Makassar is a crescent-shaped sand atoll visible at low tide. Multi-day trips also include Kalong Island for the flying fox sunset, Gili Lawa for sunrise trekking, Siaba for turtle snorkelling, Kanawa for reef, Rinca for dragons outside the main island, and Kelor and Sebayur for shorter hikes and protected swims. Certified divers add Batu Bolong, Castle Rock, and Crystal Rock, which are among the park's strongest drift dives.

Our owned and partner fleet for Komodo includes Lamima, Prana, Silolona, Fenides, Naturalia, Catnazse Liveaboard, Magia II, Ayvara Cruises, and Malca Voyages for luxury phinisi and yacht charters, plus Komodo Prestige and Komodo Signature for mid-tier sailing. Day-trip and short-distance routes run on speedboats including Sea Escape Aero, Sea Escape Luxe, Refviero, Elrora, Typhoon, Wailuli, and the D-series and Red Whale speedboats. Each vessel meets Indonesian maritime safety standards and carries a crew trained in tour operations, dive support, and hospitality. Matching the boat to the trip matters: larger phinisi like Lamima and Prana are suited to 4D3N private charters with premium dining, while mid-size boats like Catnazse work well for dive-focused weeks.

Booking begins with an inquiry through WhatsApp or the booking form, specifying preferred dates, group size, trip length, and any dive or photography requirements. The Boat Komodo Trip team replies with availability and a quote within the same day in most cases. A 50 percent deposit secures the reservation, and the balance is due 30 days before sailing. Complimentary airport transfers from your hotel to Labuan Bajo harbour are included on all multi-day trips. International visitors should budget for the Komodo National Park entrance fee (currently IDR 650,000 per person), optional drone permits (IDR 2.100.000 per unit per day, filed 7 days in advance), tips for crew, and flights to Komodo Airport (LBJ) from Bali, Jakarta, or Labuan Bajo-connecting hubs. Sailing season runs April through early November for calmer seas, with April to June and September to October typically offering the best balance of weather and availability.
