Komodo Tour Itineraries
With our private Komodo tours we explore the islands around Flores, snorkel at beautiful underwater sites, and stay overnight on the boat.
The tours have a length of 2, 3 or 4 days. All the tours include a standard boat with AC/cabins/Western shower/Western toilet, authentic Indonesian meals, and pick-up/drop-off in Labuan Bajo.
The most popular tour is the 3D2N Komodo Tour and includes treks around Padar, Rinca, Kelor & Komodo, snorkelling at the best spots such as Kelor, Menjerete, Manta Point & Sebayur, and relaxing at picturesque beaches such as Pink Beach & Taka Makassar.

Indonesian Wooden Boats with AC Cabins
A special point of attention for travellers is the boat quality as these could range from simple open-deck boats, to speedboats, Indonesian wooden boats with AC cabins to luxury Phinisi boats. We only use Indonesian wooden boats with AC cabins that are in good shape.
The boats have private cabins with AC and fan, a dining & relaxing area, Western showers (as opposed to a Mandi), Western toilets (as opposed to squat toilets), and fresh water.
While we cannot guarantee which boat we’ll use for your tour, we can guarantee all our boats are of the same good quality standard. Above are pictures of the most frequently used boats.
Responsible Tourism
We aim to leave little impact on our environment. Our tours follow a strict code of no contact with or feeding of wild animals. We support local initiatives in e.g. Kalimantan that protect the orangutan’s habitat, in Sumatra that teach English to children, and in Palu and Lombok that help victims of natural disasters.
Good to Know
Labuan Bajo is easily reached by air as it has an airport. You can book domestic flights via NusaTrip .
Recommended accommodations (excluded) are Ciao Hostel ($) , Wae Molas Hotel ($$) , and Villa Domanik ($$$) .
A small online pre-payment is required to confirm your booking request. The outstanding amount is usually paid in cash upon arrival. Alternatively - and only if you wish - the outstanding balance can be transferred in advance to our guide's Indonesian bank account.
In case you wish to pay the outstanding balance in advance, we recommend using TransferWise .
This is an increasingly popular payment platform among Western travellers for payments to non-Western countries, because international transfers via bank or PayPal usually use unfavourable currency exchange rates on top of the commissions. Create a Transferwise account now - the confirmation process takes a few days - and ask for bank details.
We advice you to visit Indonesia with a good travel insurance. In case you do not have one yet, you may want to consider the international travel insurance World Nomads that many backpackers use.
