    3 Island Cruise boat in Komodo

    3 Island

    The four-berth bunk cabin has its own ensuite and air conditioning, so the cheapest berth on board is not the compromise one

    Cruising Areas

    Komodo

    Komodo trips depart from Labuan Bajo. The published 3D2N route begins with Kelor, Manjarite and the flying-fox sunset at Kalong Island; continues to Padar, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Manta Point and Taka Makassar; and finishes around Siaba and Sebayur before returning to Labuan Bajo. Private 2D1N and 4D3N routes adjust the stop list, while weather, sea conditions and park operations can change the order.

    Who This Suits

    Suitable for couples, solo travellers and small groups joining a shared departure, as well as families and groups of friends booking the full boat. The mix of four private double cabins and one four-berth bunk cabin gives groups flexibility without giving up private bathrooms or air conditioning.
