One-way crossing · Teluk Nara → Labuan Bajo · Apr–Nov sailing season

Private charters · small groups

Charter the whole boat, or bring a small group.

Four days and three nights from Lombok to Labuan Bajo on a boat that is either entirely yours or shared with a handful of other travellers. On a charter the route is built around what your group actually wants to see.

What we build in

The stops most groups ask for.

A custom itinerary starts from these and moves with your group's priorities — wildlife photography, longer in the water, particular islands, or a day with nothing on it at all.

Wildlife

Komodo dragons

Guided treks on Rinca or Komodo Island to see them in their own habitat rather than behind glass.

  • Rinca
  • Komodo Island
  • Guided

Viewpoint

Padar Island

The sunrise or sunset hike, for the panorama over three bays of visibly different coloured sand.

  • Sunrise
  • Sunset
  • Panorama

Beach

Pink Beach

Snorkelling and an unhurried afternoon on one of the few pink-sand beaches in the world.

  • Pink sand
  • Snorkelling

Reef

Manta Point

The chance to swim with manta rays in water clear enough to watch them arrive.

  • Mantas
  • Clear water

On route

Kanawa Island & Gili Kondo

Quiet beaches and good snorkelling, picked up along the way east rather than as a detour.

  • Kanawa
  • Gili Kondo
  • Snorkelling

Seasonal

Teluk Saleh

Whale sharks are a possibility here, but their presence is seasonal — worth discussing before you fix the dates.

  • Whale sharks
  • Season dependent

Every visitor to Komodo National Park registers with a passport copy, including travellers on a one-way sailing from Lombok. We take your group through the paperwork.

How your group travels

Charter it, share it, or time it right.

A whole-boat charter removes the schedule entirely. A small group departure keeps the cost shared. Either way the season decides how the water behaves.

  • Any date

    Whole-boat charter

    The vessel is yours: departure time, island order and activities all set by your group.

  • Wed, Sat & Sun

    Small group departures

    Shared boats sail on published dates, which is how the cost comes down.

  • Apr–Nov

    The dry season

    Calm water and good visibility. November often holds up well; January to April is choppier and wetter.

Boats run from comfortable local vessels to luxury liveaboards — we match the boat to the group rather than the other way round.

Cabins

What a 4D3N costs, by class.

Open-trip prices per person for the four-day, three-night crossing. A whole-boat charter is quoted per boat instead, because it depends on the vessel, the dates and the size of the group.

Planning for a group

Before you book the group.

All answered questions

How do we tailor-make a tour for our group?

Send your departure date, the duration — four days and three nights is the standard — the boat class you want, and the islands or activities that matter most. We come back with a route, boat options and a quote, then refine it with you.

Which days do the shared boats leave?

Shared departures usually run on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. A private charter leaves on whatever date your group chooses, which is often the reason groups charter in the first place.

Do we need to register with the national park?

Yes. Every visitor to Komodo National Park registers with a passport copy, including travellers on a one-way sailing from Lombok to Labuan Bajo. It is standard procedure and we take you through it.

Can we cancel if plans change?

Most standard tours can be cancelled free up to four days before departure. For January to April departures we also watch the forecasts and offer flexible rebooking where conditions make it sensible.
