Sailing through Komodo National Park is the best way to experience its islands, dragons, and underwater life. But with so many options—day trips, overnight cruises, and custom journeys—how do you know which one fits you best?
Here’s a simple guide to help you decide.
- Day Cruise ⏳
Best for: Short visits, tight schedules, first-timers
A day cruise gives you a taste of Komodo in just a few hours. You can hike Padar, meet the dragons, snorkel at Pink Beach, and be back in Labuan Bajo by evening.

Who it suits: Travelers with limited time or those who want a quick highlight reel - Overnight Cruise 🌙

Spending the night on a traditional Phinisi lets you wake up inside the park. With 2–3 days, you’ll see more spots, avoid crowds, and enjoy sunrise and sunset at sea.

Style: Shared or private charter
Inclusions: Full meals, cabin accommodation, snorkeling gear, crew
Who it suits: Families, couples, and explorers who want comfort and more adventure - Custom Trip 🧭

Want to dive all day? Or mix island trekking with overland Flores adventures? A custom trip is built around your needs, whether that’s a honeymoon cruise, a dive safari, or a cultural overland journey.
Duration: Flexible (1 day to multi-day)
Style: Fully private and tailored
Inclusions: Based on your plan (meals, guides, diving gear, transport, etc.)
Who it suits: Groups with specific interests or travelers who want something one-of-a-kind
