One of the best liveaboard experiences is a sailing trip to the Komodo Islands. You can hike, snorkel, swim, and see manta rays and turtles while also relaxing on the boat! The view from Komodo Island is breathtaking. The landscape is one-of-a-kind; I’ve never seen anything like it in Indonesia.
Sailing trips around Komodo Island are generally safe. Many things make a boat feel safe. The captain’s and the crew’s experience is extremely important. How long have they been sailing on the sea in Indonesia, which has different characteristics?
When planning a sailing trip to Komodo, there are a variety of considerations to take into account.
Avoid Weekends And Public/School Holidays
Many local open-air trips are organized on weekends and also during Indonesian national holidays, as well as school holidays. If you can avoid these days, you will find few people crowding the most popular spots, such as Padar and Rinca Islands.
Take Komodo Sailing Trip For Multi-Days
The goal of this sailing trip is more than to travel from one island to another. In addition to snorkeling, hiking, and seeing different views of the Komodo National Park, it is also to enjoy the relaxing experience on the boat. A day trip overturns such privilege, forcing you to rush through everything. Take at least a two-day sailing trip, though a three-day trip would be far superior. Taking a multi-day sailing trip also allows you to visit Padar Island and hike to the top of the island early in the morning before the sun sets.
Be Ready For Short Hikes
The islands surrounding Komodo National Park are stunning. To see more spectacular scenery, however, you must hike to the top of the island for 15 to 30 minutes. The hikes are relatively easy, especially for active people. To fully enjoy the hikes, you must wear appropriate footwear or hiking sandals with good traction.
Apply sunscreen lotion and put on a hat before going on the hike (or any other outdoor activity) to protect your skin and prevent heat exhaustion. The sun and heat are quite unbearable around the Komodo Islands, which is one of the reasons why the landscape of most islands surrounding the Komodo National Park is extremely dry, with very few trees.
Use The Services Of An Experienced Yacht
Always be selective when selecting a yacht before leaving the island. Check the reputation of the person or company who owns the boat. Find out when the boat was last refurbished or maintained, as well as whether it is equipped with life jackets and other safety features. If you can speak with the captain of the boat, please inquire about his experience sailing around the Komodo islands. It would help if you took a luxury yacht in Indonesia to guarantee your safety.
