Private Boat Tours in Komodo National Park

A private trip through the Komodo National Park is a fantastic opportunity to explore the protected area individually. For example, you can visit Komodo Island early in the morning when the Komodo dragons are still active and before the day trippers arrive. Put your personal route together and take your time for what really interests you.

Private Tour Komodo National Park Boat charter with overnight on board
A private tour offers you the best flexibility and enough time to experience the special magic of Komodo National Park. The options are endless: observe Komodo dragons, bats, manta rays and sea turtles, explore coral reefs and mangroves, hike to viewpoints, relax on the beach or visit Rinca Island's Komodo Dragon Museum. It is entirely up to you how you set your focus. 2-3 days on board is a good period. Let the wind blow in your face on deck and decide for yourself whether you want to explore a lot in a short time or special places in peace and quiet. Depending on the size of the boat or the number of cabins, private tours for 2-6 people are offered. These tours are perfect for couples looking for a dream trip, for families and for groups of friends.
A private boat including crew and guide may be cheaper than you think: In April 2023, a tour with a private boat for 4 people was possible from IDR 1.750.000 (approx. 120 dollars) per person and per day. Example: A private tour (2 days / 1 night) with a visit to Padar Island, Komodo Island, Pink Beach and two other snorkeling stops as well as an overnight stay on board in Kalong Bay to observe bats was around 10.000.000 IDR (approx. 670 dollars) total price for 2 people or at 14.000.000 IDR (approx. 930 dollars) total price for 4 people. The national park fees were to be paid separately. Clarify in advance whether snorkeling equipment will be provided. As of 2023. Please note possible changes. Current prices can be requested from Senior Guide "Gabriel Pampur".

Group trips to Komodo National Park

You have several days, but a private trip doesn't suit you? No problem. Shared excursion boats for multi-day trips through Komodo National Park are less common, but that is also possible. Alternatively, you can also take part in a combination trip for Komodo and Flores.

Group Tour Flores & Komodo National Park Multi-day travel packages
The program for multi-day tours varies greatly. For example, there are deals with overnight stays in Flores that combine an excursion program around Labuan Bajo with a day trip by speedboat to Komodo National Park. Alternatively, overnight tours are available, with the boat visiting both Flores shores and Komodo National Park. And finally there are boat tours, with a multi-day program in the national park. Such travel packages are ideal for solo travelers with time and a medium budget, for sociable travelers and for everyone who does not want to plan much.
A 2-3 day package that includes a visit to Komodo National Park costs around $300 to $400 per person. In addition to the pure tour length, you should always consider the actual length of stay within the Komodo National Park when making a comparison. Sometimes cheaper prices include shared sleeping cabins. The national park fees often have to be paid separately. As of 2023. Please note possible changes.

Transfer between Lombok and Flores

Many roads lead to Komodo. Low-budget travelers often decide against the plane and use particularly cheap public ferries to Flores. An interesting alternative for backpackers is a multi-day boat tour with snorkeling stops and a stopover in Komodo National Park.

Boat Tour Lombok Flores backpacker tour
From Flores to Lombok (and vice versa) low-budget group trips are offered by boat. Although this is significantly more expensive than traveling by public transport, the price-performance ratio remains interesting for backpackers. Why? A stopover in the Komodo National Park with a visit to the Komodo dragons is already planned on this 3-4 day boat trip. Depending on the provider, other highlights of the national park are also approached. On the way, further island visits, snorkeling stops or even a snorkeling option with whale sharks can complement the program of the crossing. Accommodation and meals on board are included. The entire group usually sleeps on mattresses on deck.
There are various reports on the Internet that criticize hygiene or safety precautions on board. We have not taken part in such a journey with AGE™ before and can therefore not assess the ratings. However, two travel-loving girls that we met in Raja Ampat and Flores were absolutely thrilled with their tour. The price for such a backpacker tour in the Komodo National Park is around 300 - 400 dollars per person, depending on the provider and the boat.
