Frequently Asked Questions
A Komodo liveaboard is a multi-day boat charter through Komodo National Park aboard a traditional Phinisi vessel. Unlike day trips, you sleep, eat, and travel on the boat, accessing remote dive sites, secluded beaches, and multiple islands. This floating-hotel approach enables early morning dives, sunset at isolated coves, and visits to distant locations like Padar Island, Rinca Island, and Pink Beach in a single journey.
Trips range from 3 to 8 days. The most popular are 4-day/3-night voyages covering major highlights: dragon trekking on Komodo or Rinca Island, Padar viewpoint, Pink Beach, and multiple dive or snorkel sites. Longer 7-8 day expeditions explore 30+ dive sites across the park. Each itinerary can be customized based on your interests—diving, photography, wildlife, or relaxation.
Packages typically include private cabins with en-suite bathrooms, all meals and snacks, drinking water and beverages, snorkeling or diving equipment, professional guides, national park entrance fees, ranger fees for trekking, and onboard amenities like kayaks. Premium packages may add airport transfers, specialty drinks, Nitrox for divers, and dedicated photography guides. Specific inclusions vary by vessel and can be tailored to your needs.
Pricing varies significantly based on vessel quality, trip duration, group size, and customization. We offer options from comfortable standard boats to ultra-luxury Phinisi vessels with premium service. Private charters and bespoke itineraries are available. Contact us for a customized quote tailored to your preferences and travel dates.
All trips depart from Labuan Bajo on Flores Island. Komodo Airport (LBJ) has direct flights from Bali (1.5 hours) and Jakarta (2.5 hours). Most operators provide airport or hotel transfers to the dock. Boats typically depart afternoon/evening for same-day arrivals and return morning on the final day to accommodate departure flights.
April to December is ideal, with peak conditions May through October. This period offers calm seas, excellent visibility (20-30 meters), and consistent manta ray sightings. May to September is optimal, though August is busiest. December to March brings occasional rain and rougher seas but fewer crowds. Book 2-3 months ahead for peak season dates.
No. Most liveaboards cater to both divers and snorkelers with separate activities. Certified divers explore sites like Castle Rock and Batu Bolong at depth, while snorkelers experience the same locations from the surface. Some vessels offer PADI certification courses during the trip. Non-divers have full access to snorkeling, trekking, beach visits, and all surface activities.
Diving is safe with experienced guides, though Komodo is known for strong currents requiring proper preparation. Many sites feature drift diving. Best suited for divers with 20+ logged dives. Advanced sites like Batu Bolong require current experience. Reputable operators employ expert guides who brief thoroughly and carry safety equipment including oxygen and first aid. Snorkeling is safe at protected, low-current sites.
Yes, dragon encounters are a primary highlight. Most itineraries include guided trekking on Komodo or Rinca Island with experienced park rangers. Rinca typically offers closer encounters with higher dragon concentrations. Treks last 1-2 hours, and sightings are virtually guaranteed as rangers know their territories. You'll also see water buffalo, wild boar, deer, and diverse birdlife.
Komodo National Park features extraordinary biodiversity. Expect manta rays (nearly guaranteed May-October), sea turtles, reef sharks, eagle rays, vibrant coral gardens, schools of trevally and barracuda, octopus, nudibranchs, occasionally dolphins, and seasonal mola mola (sunfish). Macro life includes pygmy seahorses and ornate ghost pipefish. Strong currents and nutrient-rich waters create exceptional diversity.
