Three questions decide the format

How many days you have in Labuan Bajo. Whether you want the boat to yourselves or are happy sharing it. And what you actually came for.

Answer those three and the table below narrows to one or two rows. Everything after that is dates and vessel availability.

  • Dragons and Pink Beach — three days is enough
  • Diving Manta Point and Castle Rock — four, ideally more
  • A slow private sail — the whole boat, whatever the length

The comparison

Every format, side by side

Published starting figures. Whole-boat formats are priced per yacht per night; the per-cabin format is priced per person for the fixed 3D2N route.

The common core

What every package contains

Each format is built on the same base and then adjusted by length. These do not change between rows in the table above.

  • Cabins aboard

    Private cabins on the phinisi or motor yacht, matched to your group.

  • All meals

    Three a day from the onboard galley, plus water, tea and coffee.

  • Full crew

    Captain, chef, deck crew and guides for the length of the charter.

  • Snorkel gear

    Masks, fins and, on most vessels, kayaks or paddleboards.

  • Ranger landings

    Guided dragon viewing on Komodo or Rinca with a park ranger.

  • Flexible routing

    Daily route built around weather, tide and what your group wants.

The other decision

Per cabin or the whole boat

This moves both your privacy and your budget more than the number of nights does.

What we mostly arrange

Full-boat charter

  • Every cabin, the whole crew, nobody else aboard
  • You set wake-up times and change the route mid-trip
  • Flat rate for the vessel — cheaper per head as the group grows

The budget route

Per-cabin booking

  • One cabin on a phinisi shared with other guests
  • Shared deck, shared dining, fixed decision points
  • Priced per person, double occupancy — lower total cost

For couples and solo travellers per-cabin is usually the sensible answer. From about six guests, a full-boat charter is often cheaper per head as well as private.

What the days contain

The stops every format is built around

Longer charters add anchorages and repeat the best of these. Shorter ones pick from them.

Panorama from the Padar Island ridge Sunrise

Padar Island

The three-bay ridge. On overnight charters you climb it before the day boats arrive.

A Komodo dragon on open ground near the shore Dragons

Komodo & Rinca

Ranger-guided trekking on one or both islands, depending on length.

The pink shoreline of Pink Beach Midday

Pink Beach

Red sand and a shallow reef. On every format from the day charter up.

A manta ray casting its shadow on the sand Morning tide

Manta Point

Snorkel or dive with manta rays. Longer charters get more than one attempt at it.
