Komodo Liveaboard (3D2N)
Set sail on a liveaboard from Labuan Bajo to see giant Komodo dragons, Padar viewpoint, Pink Beach, and manta rays.
Spend the first day in town watching the sunset and confirming your boat schedule, followed by a 3-day, 2-night cruise covering the main islands of the national park. Days 2 and 3 are fast-paced, with early morning island landings, daytime snorkeling, and sleeping on the boat at night. Perfect for those who want to see this World Heritage site during a short holiday. Non-swimmers can also join, but those prone to seasickness should prepare in advance. Routes are subject to change based on sea conditions and park quotas.
Starting from 2026, the park limits visitors to 1,000 per day. Sailings have occasionally been suspended in August–September due to high waves.
