Your Komodo trip, planned by people who live here
Komodo Tours Built Around the Sea, Not a Catalogue
A Komodo open trip from Lombok to Labuan Bajo is the most scenic way to reach Indonesia's most famous islands — and most of our guests start the journey in Lombok. From Bangsal or Senggigi you sail east across the Saleh Bay whale sharks of Sumbawa to the prehistoric dragons of Komodo and Rinca, the layered ridges of Padar, the rose-pink sand of Pink Beach and the manta highways of the Linta Strait, stepping ashore in Labuan Bajo on the western tip of Flores.
We run the full range from one place: shared open-trip tour packages, private Komodo boat tours and multi-day phinisi liveaboard charters — including the classic three-day, two-night route that most first-timers ask for. Already in the islands? You can join a Komodo tour from Lombok — sailing the scenic way or flying across in an hour. We also sail the long way from Lombok to Komodo, crossing the Saleh Bay whale sharks in Sumbawa on the way, so a single message to our crew can plan an entire Nusa Tenggara journey end to end.
Sail the crossing
Sail Lombok to Komodo by Phinisi
Step aboard a comfortable wooden phinisi for the four-day Lombok–Labuan Bajo open trip. Wake to whale sharks off Sumbawa, snorkel Satonda’s crater lake, glide over the rays at Manta Point and walk with the dragons on Komodo — then watch the sunrise from the ridges of Padar.
- Full crew, cook and fuel included in every cabin price
- Air-conditioned cabins, en-suite on the flagship
- Couples, families and solo travellers all welcome

Word from the deck
Travellers Keep Telling Their Friends
4.4/5 from 7 verified guest reviews
The liveaboard covered every spot we wanted including Taka Makassar and Manta Point. Cabins were simple but the deck space made up for it. Food was tasty Indonesian home cooking with plenty of fresh fruit every day.
Manta Point delivered: we saw six manta rays gliding right under us. The guide knew exactly where to drop us in the water and the safety briefing was thorough. Sleeping on deck under the stars near Kalong Island was magical.
Celebrated our anniversary aboard and felt like royalty. The sundeck jacuzzi facing the sunset over Flores is something I will never forget. Butler service around the clock and the western-indonesian fusion menu from the private chef was superb.
Joined the open trip as a solo traveler and made friends for life. The shared cabin was basic but comfortable, food was plentiful home-style cooking, and the route covered Kelor, Rinca, Padar, Pink Beach and Manta Point. Bring earplugs for the generator.
The speedboat made the long distances in the park feel short. Life jackets for everyone, an experienced captain who read the waves well, and comfy seats in the cool cabin. We reached Padar before the crowds which made the photos so much better.
Five days combining Flores land tours with sailing was a great formula. The caci dance in Melo village was a beautiful surprise and the sailing days hit all the icons. Hotel on the first nights was simple but clean. Would book again.
We celebrated a birthday on the open deck boat with about twenty friends. Bean bags, fairy lights and a BBQ while the sun went down behind Kelor island — exactly the relaxed evening we wanted. Music system could be a touch louder, but overall wonderful.
