Day 1. Kai Voyage picks you up at the airport or your hotel in Labuan Bajo between 8:00 and 10:00, welcomes you on board with a cold towel and a drink, and sets sail at about 11:00. The first stop is Sebayur Island for a snorkel on its shallow reef, followed by Waelilu, a sandbank that rises from the sea at low tide. The day ends at Kalong Island, where thousands of flying foxes leave the mangroves at sunset.
Day 2. The day starts in the dark with the climb up Padar Island for the sunrise over its three bays. Kai Voyage then stops at Long Beach and at Komodo Island, where a park ranger leads the walk to see the Komodo dragons, and visits Komodo Village, the fishing village on the island. The day ends at Gili Lawa in the north of the park for the sunset.
Day 3. The last day is for the water: the sandbar of Taka Makassar, Manta Point, where manta rays often feed in the current, and Mawan. Kai Voyage is back in Labuan Bajo at around 15:00.
The order of the stops can change with the tides, the weather and the rules of the park, and every snorkel and trek is optional.
A day on Kai Voyage follows the light. The second day begins before dawn with the climb up Padar for the sunrise, and breakfast is served on Kai Voyage after the walk down.
The rest of the day takes in Long Beach, the dragon walk on Komodo Island, Komodo Village and the sunset at Gili Lawa, with lunch and a snack with juices on board between the stops. Dinner is served while Kai Voyage lies at anchor in a quiet bay, and the evening moves to the lounge for a film on the projector, the karaoke or a board game.
Kai Voyage snorkels at Sebayur on the first afternoon and at Taka Makassar, Manta Point and Mawan on the last day. Masks, snorkels, fins and life jackets are on Kai Voyage for every guest, and the guide accompanies the group.
Most of the reefs are shallow and suit beginners, with reef fish at every stop and manta rays at Manta Point when the current is right. Between the stops, the canoe and the stand-up paddle boards of Kai Voyage are free to use around the boat.
Three meals a day are served in the dining room, with mineral water, coffee and tea and an afternoon snack with juices. A coffee maker and a fridge on Kai Voyage are always at hand.
The indoor lounge has a smart TV, a projector, karaoke, a Bluetooth speaker and board games, and the sun decks and the rooftop are the places for the sunsets. Starlink Wi-Fi works across most of the park, and a tour guide joins every trip.
Kai Voyage is sailed by a certified captain and crew. The boat carries life jackets, life rafts, fire extinguishers and a first aid kit, and the crew navigates with GPS and radar and keeps in touch by marine radio.
On a sharing trip you book a stateroom, or a bed in the Quad Stateroom, on a scheduled departure and share Kai Voyage with other guests. Sharing trips leave on Fridays and Mondays for three days and two nights, and the price is per person.
On a private charter the whole of Kai Voyage is yours, with its crew. Charters run from two days and one night up to five days and four nights, and the charter tab on this page shows the rates for groups of up to fourteen guests, with a price for each extra guest up to eighteen.

A group larger than fourteen adds IDR 8.500.000 per extra guest for each night, up to eighteen guests, the most Kai Voyage can take. Sixteen guests on a three day two night charter, for example, pay IDR 230.000.000 plus IDR 34.000.000 for the two extra guests, so IDR 264.000.000 for the boat.
The charter price includes the crew, the staterooms, three meals a day with snacks, the transfers in Labuan Bajo, the snorkelling equipment, the paddle boards, Starlink Wi-Fi and a tour guide. The Komodo National Park entrance fee is per person and added to the invoice, as on a sharing trip.
