Tour Overview

Choose a shared speedboat seat or a private phinisi charter for a Komodo one-day tour from Labuan Bajo. Both return the same day, but the itinerary, price unit and pace are different.

Shared speedboat: One day with Speedboat is listed from US$90 per person. It covers six stops: Padar Island, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Taka Makassar, Manta Point and Kanawa Island. Read the shared itinerary below and confirm the actual speedboat, departure and itemised total with the supplier. Park fees are separate.

Private phinisi: compare Catnazse, Naturalia Cruise and Alfathran 3 using the whole-boat tariffs in the vessel cards. These charters require an agreed route and sailing hours; the shared speedboat programme does not establish the itinerary for a slower phinisi.

For a private phinisi enquiry, Labuan Bajo → Kelor → Manjarite → Kalong → Labuan Bajo remains a near-island planning example, subject to the selected operator’s written confirmation. Compare cabin access, meals, guiding, documentation, transfers, park charges and the return time before paying.

The six-stop speedboat itinerary is supplier-published. The captain can adjust stops and timing for weather, currents and park instructions. Dragon and manta sightings remain variable. Keep a buffer before any onward flight.

Use the Komodo National Park fee guide when checking extras, or compare a day trip with a liveaboard if you are considering an overnight journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I choose a shared speedboat or a private charter?

Yes. One day with Speedboat is a shared-seat day trip. Catnazse, Naturalia and Alfathran 3 are private phinisi charters priced for the whole boat.

What is the shared speedboat itinerary?

The published route is Padar Island, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Taka Makassar, Manta Point and Kanawa Island, returning to Labuan Bajo the same day. Stops and order can change with conditions.

Does the same itinerary apply to the private phinisi?

No. The six-stop programme belongs to the shared speedboat product. Agree the reachable stops, sailing hours and return time separately for each private phinisi.

Which option suits my group size?

A shared speedboat sells seats per person; confirm the assigned boat and its capacity. Private phinisi prices use guest bands: Catnazse 1–12 or 13–18, Naturalia 1–8, 9–16 or 17–24, and the recorded Alfathran 3 day tariff 1–12.

How much does a Komodo one-day tour cost?

The recorded shared speedboat offer starts at US$90 per person for one day. Private phinisi tariffs start at $3,050 for the whole boat. Compare the same duration, guest band and inclusions; park fees are separate.

When does the shared speedboat start and finish?

The supplier lists hotel pickup at 06:00–06:30 and return transfers at 16:45–17:30 WITA. Confirm the final timetable for your date. Private phinisi charters have a separate agreed schedule.

Are guides, transfers and park fees included?

Is an overnight stay included?

No. These are one-day products returning to Labuan Bajo. A half-day trip or overnight itinerary needs a separate offer.
