Operated under Komodo Luxury since 2015
Day tours, liveaboard trips and private charters through Komodo National Park, departing from Labuan Bajo — run on our own fleet, with our own crews.
The short answer
A Komodo yacht tour is a boat trip through Komodo National Park visiting Padar Island, Pink Beach, the Komodo dragons and the manta ray sites, departing from Labuan Bajo on Flores.
Komodo Yacht Tour is the yacht-tour brand of Komodo Luxury, which has been running boats in this park since 2015. We run three formats — day tours, multi-day liveaboard trips of 2D1N to 4D3N, and shared-cabin open trips — and all three are handled by the same crews, the same safety standards, and the same booking team.
We are not a marketplace and not a reseller. The company you book with is the company that owns the fleet, employs the crew, and answers the phone when weather shifts a departure.
Three formats
It comes down to one decision: how many days you have, and whether you want the whole boat to yourself.
Why book direct
Labuan Bajo has a low barrier to entry: dozens of brokers resell the same third-party boats with no accountability for what happens on board.
Every departure sails on a vessel from the Komodo Luxury fleet: nine owned vessels plus vetted partner vessels, from nimble day boats to full liveaboards with en-suite cabins and dedicated dive platforms.
Tell us your group size, dates and budget, and we will match you to the right yacht.
See the full fleetEvery itinerary in the park is built from the same short list of stops. These are the ones worth planning around.
The iconic three-bay viewpoint. Multi-day guests trek it at sunrise when the light is gold and the trail is quiet; day-tour guests reach it mid-morning. A 30–40 minute climb.
One of only a handful of pink-sand beaches on Earth, coloured by crushed red coral. Snorkel the house reef straight off the sand, or take it in from the deck.
Drift-snorkel over a cleaning station where reef mantas with three-metre wingspans glide beneath you, then step onto a crescent of white sand barely above the tide line.
The reason the park exists. On Komodo or Rinca, licensed rangers lead you on foot past the world's largest lizards in their only natural habitat. The park entrance fee is approximately USD 40–50 per foreign visitor and USD 20–25 per Indonesian visitor, with reservations and payments managed through the SiORA system.
Booking
Four steps, and no payment until a boat and a date are confirmed in writing.
Message us on WhatsApp or email with your travel dates, group size and the format you are leaning towards. Not sure yet is a fine answer.
We match your dates against every vessel at once and come back with real availability, honest advice on boats and weather, and a quote in USD.
A 50% deposit secures your cabin or your boat. You get written confirmation naming the vessel, the route and what is included.
The remaining balance is due 30 days before departure. Be cautious of any operator demanding 100% upfront to a personal account.
During the April–November dry season the well-reviewed vessels sell out 6–10 weeks ahead, so early enquiry matters more than early payment.
Dry season, April to November, is prime time: seas are calm, snorkelling visibility is at its best, and the islands turn from green to their famous savanna gold.
July and August bring the busiest crowds and the strongest demand for share cabins — book those dates early. December to March is the rainy season: the park stays open and the hills turn lush green, but expect afternoon showers and occasional swell.
Manta ray encounters are excellent year-round, and the wet season often delivers the biggest aggregations. If your dates are flexible, tell us and we will say honestly which week looks best.
We do not host reviews on this site. Reviews collected and displayed only by the seller are easy to filter, edit or fabricate — ours sit on Google and TripAdvisor under the Komodo Luxury profile, where we cannot delete criticism. Rather than paste hand-picked quotes, here are the recurring themes you can go and confirm yourself.
The critical feedback clusters around two things: rough sea days outside the April–November dry season, and early wake-up calls for the Padar sunrise trek. Reading our 4-star reviews is genuinely useful — they tend to be the most detailed.
Tell us your travel dates, group size and the experience you want — a one-day highlight run, a private charter, or a cabin on the next 3D2N open trip. We reply fast, in English, with real availability and honest advice on boats and weather.
Deposits are 50% to confirm, balance due 30 days before departure.
