Indonesia · KOMODO NATIONAL PARK AND LABUAN BAJO
12 reviewed
Everything leaves from Labuan Bajo and the real question is how many nights you sleep on the boat. Day trips reach Padar, Pink Beach and Manta Point; two and three-night sailings add Kanawa and the Rinca dragons at a calmer pace. Here are the best 12, with cabin detail and what the park fees add on arrival.
Early-bird Komodo speedboat from Labuan Bajo for dragons, Padar views, Pink Beach snorkeling, manta rays, and multiple island stops.
“Brilliant day from start to finish everything was well organised and explained as we went. The hike, the animals, the swimming etc all exceeded our expectations”
Manta Point in Nusa Penida, small-group scuba sessions with Sanur transport, meals, towels, and a real shot at manta rays.
“Amazing experience from top to bottom. The dive center was immaculate and the process was professional, thorough and super friendly. The staff understands customer service and expertly serves their customers. They anticipated my needs at every turn, offered a sea sickness pill at the outset to ensure a smooth experience at sea. The onboarding questions prompted a pool refresher as I hadn’t dived in a year. The dive instructor assigned to me was phenomenal. He is everything you ever want in a dive instructor, especially when you are shaky in your skills and are diving a new territory (continent.) he was humorous but stern in the matters that matter. He…”

Swim Rangko Cave pool and snorkel Boleng Beach on a half-day Labuan Bajo sharing trip, with small groups, pickup, and gear.
“The cave is great and a nice casual activity for an afternoon. The snorkelling in our case was cancelled due to weather conditions so cannot comment on that. The stop on the way back for a picture was nice but doesn't need a tour other than for transportation, but the guide did not join us for the walk up to the viewpoint or add commentary. It's a nice short tour to get out and get involved for an afternoon and I would recommend it for that.”

A private 3-day Komodo Islands boat trip from Labuan Bajo, with wildlife stops, snorkeling, and included meals, plus a possible surprise budget for park fees.
“Our guide (Ken) is very hospitable and made every effort to ensure we were having a good time. He is very familiar with this tour and helped us with insider information at every stop. We came on this trip as a couple (two of us) and had the boat to ourselves. We had a private cabin w a King bed. The accomidations were somewhat "glamping" - dont expect a 5star hotel. The AC stopped working one night but it was cool outside so we openend the windows. Fantastic once in a lifetime experience”
