Komodo Boat Trip & What You Need To Know

0Shares

The secret has been revealed, and visitors from all over the world are flocking to one of Indonesia’s premier diving destinations: the Komodo Islands. Many visitors spend time exploring the vibrant marine life in addition to its beautiful rolling hills, stunning beaches, and fiery dragons. Komodo National Park is a premier dive destination, with crystal clear waters teeming with sharks, manta rays, corals, and large fish. While you can spend your time doing day dives, liveaboard diving is the best way to explore the many world-class dive sites. Komodo’s liveaboard budget is crucial before choosing your sailing package. 

Komodo Liveaboard Budget & What You Need To Know

Where to start, & How much is your Komodo Boat Trip budget?

Labuan Bajo is the capital of Flores and the closest city to the Komodo National Park. There are direct flights from Bali that take approximately one hour. There are several airlines to choose from, and a return ticket costs around 1.000.000 IDR. Considering that the pandemic has ended, the price of plane tickets is getting higher and higher. The best way is to plan a sailing Komodo trip and look for ticket prices during the low season.

Make sure you know the best season to go before choosing the best Komodo boat trip package. In the Komodo National Park, you can dive all year. The dry season lasts from April to December, while the wet season lasts from January to March. 

Komodo liveaboard budget depends on the type of ship you choose. The cruise options to Komodo that you can choose from are boat charters and group tours.

One of the first decisions to make is whether to join a regular tour or charter your boat. Both options can be excellent, and it all comes down to your budget and availability. Based on my experience traveling during endemic times, the availability of boats to Komodo is somewhat difficult. You really need to search for and book Komodo Liveaboard 1 month in advance.

If you are involved in the scuba diving community, you can also contact diving shops directly to see if they offer liveaboard trips. This may save you money because it is easier to negotiate rates and get a better deal.

However, not all liveaboard agencies will provide you with detailed information. We recommend the Komodo boat trip agency, which has a good rating and premium service even though you have to pay more. Remember that you can’t change ships during a cruise, just like changing hotel rooms. 

Some ship recommendations range from standard to luxury Komodo liveaboard that you can adjust to your budget.
