A Komodo liveaboard is a boat you sleep on while it sails between the islands of Komodo National Park. Sleeping on board lets the boat reach Padar, Pink Beach, Manta Point and Komodo Island on different days, without going back to a hotel each night.
Most boats here are traditional phinisi sailing boats with cabins, a crew and a guide. You can share the boat on a sharing trip or charter it for your own group.
April to November is the dry season and the most popular time for a Komodo liveaboard, with generally calmer seas. Komodo can be visited at other times of year, but conditions and the stops on offer vary.
Komodo dragons on Komodo and Rinca, the hike to the top of Padar for the view over three bays, the pink sand of Pink Beach and snorkelling on the reefs. Manta Point is a channel where manta rays gather; sightings depend on the season and the current and are not guaranteed.
Most sharing trips are 3 days and 2 nights from Labuan Bajo. Boats that sail between Lombok and Labuan Bajo take 4 days and 3 nights, and on some boats the way back takes 5 days and 4 nights.
Private charters run from 2 to 6 days, and diving charters up to 7 days. Tell the operator how long you have and they will plan the route around it.
On most boats: your cabin, meals, drinking water, snorkelling equipment, a guide and the shore excursions. Flights, hotels, insurance, tips and personal expenses are paid separately. Each boat page lists exactly what is included and what is not.
Komodo National Park entrance fees are not part of the trip price. They are added to your invoice, and you pay the total. The amount depends on the boat and the route, for example IDR 650.000 for foreign guests and IDR 400.000 for Indonesian citizens per person per trip on a standard Komodo trip. The exact fee is listed on each boat page.
These are starting prices. The price of a trip depends on the boat, the cabin, the trip length and the season, and is shown on each boat page before you book. The park fee is added to your invoice.
