How do I get to Komodo from Bali?
There are direct flights from Bali to Labuan Bajo, and the flight takes a little over an hour. You can also arrive by sea: our four-day sailing trip from Lombok ends in Labuan Bajo.
What is the best Komodo Island tour?
It depends on your time. With one day, a speedboat tour covers Padar, Komodo Island and Pink Beach. With three days, the 3D2N sailing trip is the most complete, with sunrise at Padar and nine stops.
How much does a Komodo boat trip cost?
The price depends on the trip length, the boat class, the cabin and the date. Komodo National Park fees are either included or paid on the day, and each trip page says which. Message us for today's rate in writing.
Is a 3D2N Komodo sailing trip worth it?
Yes, if you can spare the time. Sleeping on board puts you at Padar for sunrise and at Kalong for the flying foxes at sunset, which day trips cannot do.
What is included in a Komodo liveaboard?
Your cabin, all meals on board, drinking water, a local guide, snorkelling gear and pick-up in Labuan Bajo. Many of our trips also include photo and video documentation.
When can I visit Komodo?
Komodo National Park is open all year and trips leave Labuan Bajo in every month. The dragons live on the islands permanently, so you can plan around your own holidays. School holidays are the busiest weeks, so book early for those dates.
How do I travel from Labuan Bajo to Lombok?
By air, or by a four-day sailing trip through Komodo National Park and along the Sumbawa coast to Kayangan Port in Lombok.
Is a private Komodo tour worth it?
For families and groups it often is. The boat cost is shared and the schedule follows you.
Which Komodo tours are suitable for families?
Our 3D2N sailing and overland trip is planned with families in mind: child life jackets, shallow snorkelling spots and a lower viewpoint on Padar. A private trip is also a good fit.
Komodo Is Open All Year
Trips leave Labuan Bajo in every month. The dragons live here all year, the hills turn from green to gold, and the reefs are always there. Choose the dates that suit you and ask us what is available.
