Trip Packages
Komodo Liveaboard 3 Days 2 Nights — The Essential Explorer
Quick Answer: Our 3 Days 2 Nights liveaboard is the fastest way to cover Komodo’s headline sites — Padar Island, Komodo, Pink Beach, and Manta Point — aboard a premium vessel, with five to seven dives included. Price starts from USD 5,300 per night.
Komodo’s Highlights, Compressed Into One Weekend
Two nights aboard a premium phinisi cover the same bucket-list stops as our longer trips — just on a tighter schedule, and with all proficiency levels welcome.
From the moment you step aboard one of our premium fleet, expect five to seven dives or snorkels, every meal, and full crew support from check-in to disembarkation.
It runs on the same crew expertise and attention to detail as our longer liveaboard trips — ideal for travelers who want Komodo’s best without a long vacation.
Day by day
Your 3-Day Komodo Itinerary
-
Day 1
Departure & First Taste of Komodo
Check in at the embarkation point, settle into your cabin, and meet your crew during the welcome briefing and safety orientation.
Your first dive or snorkel follows that afternoon, before we sail toward Padar Island for dinner on deck as the sun sets.
-
Day 2
Komodo & Pink Beach, Back to Back
Morning dives at Komodo Island reveal dramatic reef topography and marine life from nudibranchs to manta rays — the island above the waterline is also home to the Komodo dragon.
The afternoon moves to Pink Beach for snorkeling over shallow reefs, with optional advanced-diving instruction offered in the evening for those building their certifications.
-
Day 3
Manta Point Magic & Return
Your final morning is reserved for Manta Point, Komodo’s most reliable site for manta encounters, dived early for the calmest water and best visibility.
After the last dive, we sail back to the embarkation point for a smooth disembarkation, with time to trade contacts and photos with fellow travelers.
Destinations You’ll Visit
Komodo
The archipelago’s namesake island pairs nutrient-rich currents with reef sharks and schooling trevally, while onshore the legendary Komodo dragons still roam the volcanic hills.
Pink Beach
Red coral fragments mixed into white sand give Pink Beach its signature color. Shallow, calm water makes it just as rewarding for snorkelers as for certified divers.
Manta Point
Converging currents turn this site into a magnet for manta rays with wingspans exceeding fifteen feet. Morning dives here offer the best visibility and the highest odds of an encounter.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 3 Days 2 Nights Trip
All certified levels are welcome, from Open Water through Advanced. Non-divers can join the snorkeling program instead, and a medical questionnaire screens for any health considerations.
Typically five to seven dives across the three days, with extra dives available at additional cost. We prioritize dive quality and conditions over hitting a fixed number.
Your own dive gear if you have it — we supply tanks, weights, and support equipment — plus reef-safe sunscreen, seasickness medication if needed, and light casual clothing. A detailed packing list follows after booking.
Absolutely. Our snorkeling program covers the same sites, including Pink Beach, with dedicated guides and safety oversight for non-certified guests.
A 50% down payment secures your booking, with the balance due no later than 30 days before departure. Cancellations made at any time before departure forfeit 100% of the total payment, which is non-refundable—see our booking page for the full policy.
Our team can walk you through the per-dive cost and comfort trade-offs against our 4 Days 3 Nights option and longer itineraries, and check current Komodo liveaboard pricing.
Diving places real stress on the heart and lungs, so travelers with cardiac, respiratory, or seizure conditions, uncontrolled diabetes, or who are pregnant should get medical clearance first. Our pre-dive questionnaire flags any concerns.
No, but our booking team offers diving-specific travel insurance covering trip cancellation, medical evacuation, and equipment loss — more complete than standard travel policies for this kind of trip.
