About this trip
A 3-day, 2-night sailing trip through Komodo National Park, shared with a small group rather than booked as a private charter. You sleep aboard and move between islands by boat, with a crew handling the sailing, meals, and logistics.
The route takes in Padar Island, Pink Beach, and Komodo Island itself, mixing short hikes, swimming, and snorkelling with time just on deck watching the scenery pass.
With 8 to 12 guests aboard, it suits solo travellers, couples, or small groups who want company on the trip without losing much personal space.
What you'll do
- Hike up to the viewpoint on Padar Island
- Swim and relax on Pink Beach
- Look for Komodo dragons on Komodo Island
- Snorkel over the park's reefs with gear provided
- Sleep aboard the boat as you move between islands
- A shared sailing trip with 8 to 12 guests, not a private charter
- Meals are prepared and served onboard throughout
- Expect a mix of boat time, short hikes, and swimming rather than a fixed land-based itinerary
Worth it if you're keen on wildlife, snorkelling and don't mind basic boat conditions. Think twice if you need comfort, want guaranteed dragon sightings, or dislike pre-dawn crowds.
- Flying foxes at sunset and snorkelling are genuine highlights; wildlife encounters feel special.
- Boat condition varies wildly; Lamborajo 1 has cockroaches, broken toilets, decay; cabin air-con unreliable.
- Padar sunrise hike draws 100+ people; Komodo ranger quality inconsistent; some see dragons, others don't.
- Pricing opaque; same trip costs £150-280 depending when booked; itinerary timings sometimes misaligned.
