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.
