What changes is how you experience it. Sail aboard a Deluxe Phinisi for comfortable island-hopping, a Luxury Phinisi with spacious private cabins, or a fully crewed VVIP charter built around your schedule.

Why Sail with Phinisi Trip Indonesia
Not all Komodo boat trips are the same. This 3-day, 2-night itinerary is designed around the islands travelers actually search for — Padar, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, and Manta Point — while keeping pricing, inclusions, and the 2026 SiOra park quota completely transparent before you book.
Located in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, Komodo Island is part of Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s home to the world’s largest lizard — the Komodo dragon — alongside breathtaking coral reefs and rare pink-sand beaches. This archipelago is a paradise for adventurers, nature lovers, and photographers alike.
Traditional Phinisi, Not a Speedboat
Sail aboard an authentic Indonesian wooden schooner with proper cabins, not a cramped daily speedboat. Choose from Shared Cabin to Private Charter.
2026 SiOra Quota Handled For You
Komodo National Park now limits visitors to 1,000/day through the SiOra booking system. We secure your entry slot in advance so your trip date is never at risk.
Licensed Guides & Safety-First Crew
Every trip includes a certified park ranger for dragon trekking and a crew trained in onboard safety — life jackets, first aid, and weather monitoring included.
Komodo Tour 3D2N Itinerary Highlights
From the legendary Komodo dragon to the pink sands of Komodo National Park, every stop on this 3-day, 2-night sailing route is chosen for what makes it unique — explore each destination below before you set sail.
Komodo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the Komodo dragon — the largest lizard on Earth, found nowhere else in the wild. These ancient reptiles can grow up to 3 meters long and weigh over 70 kilograms, roaming freely under the watch of licensed park rangers. A guided trek here is the centerpiece of every Komodo island tour.
Pink Beach gets its color from crushed coral mixed with foraminifera, a microscopic marine organism, creating a soft blush shade found in only a handful of places on Earth. The water stays calm and shallow close to shore, making it ideal for swimming, snorkeling, or simply taking in the view.
Padar Island is famous for the panoramic viewpoint at its summit, where three differently colored bays — black, white, and pink-tinged sand — meet in a single sweeping view. The hike up takes around 30–45 minutes and is best done at sunrise, when the light turns the hills a deep gold.
Known as Bat Island, Kalong is best visited at dusk, when thousands of fruit bats rise from the mangroves and fill the sky on their nightly search for food. It’s one of the most striking natural spectacles on any Komodo boat tour — best watched from the deck with a camera ready.
Just a short sail from Labuan Bajo, Kelor Island offers a quick, rewarding hike to a hilltop viewpoint over Flores and the surrounding sea. Below, calm water and healthy coral make it an easy spot to snorkel before continuing deeper into the park.
Manta Point is one of the most reliable places in Indonesia to snorkel alongside manta rays, which gather here to feed on plankton-rich currents. Sightings aren’t guaranteed on every trip, but the chance to glide beside these gentle giants is a highlight many travelers remember most.
Kanawa Island sits at the edge of Komodo National Park, known for its calm, shallow reef and relaxed pace. Visitors can snorkel or kayak past colorful reef fish and sea turtles, making it a favorite stop for travelers who want a slower, more laid-back island.
Taka Makassar is a small, crescent-shaped sandbank that appears to float in open water, with no permanent land beneath it. Surrounded by a shallow turquoise lagoon and nearby coral, it’s a popular stop for sunbathing, photos, and a quiet snorkel away from the bigger islands.
Majarite sits within Komodo National Park and is known for its calm, clear water and shallow coral reef — an easy, low-current spot that suits beginner snorkelers as well as those who simply want a relaxed swim before heading back to the boat.
Best Time to Take a Komodo Tour 3D2N
April through October is the dry season — the best window for calm seas and clear visibility during your Padar Island sunrise hike and Pink Beach stop. If swimming with manta rays at Manta Point is your priority, aim for December to March, when currents bring them closer to the surface. July–August are peak months for this 3 day 2 night route specifically, with shared trips filling up months ahead — so the earlier you book, the better your choice of departure date and cabin.
Private Phinisi Charters for an Effortless 3D2N Komodo Voyage
Want this exact 3 day 2 night itinerary without sharing the boat? A private Phinisi charter takes the same route — Padar Island, Komodo dragons, Pink Beach, and Manta Point — but on your own schedule, with the cabin tier and pace you choose.
From VVIP and Luxury to Deluxe vessels, every charter includes a licensed ranger guide and the full itinerary above, built around your group instead of a fixed departure date.
- Private Phinisi charter
- Licensed ranger guides
- Same 3D2N itinerary, your schedule
- Flexible vessel tiers

Komodo Tour Package or Private Charter? Choosing the Right Komodo Boat Tour
Not every Komodo island tour looks the same, and the format you choose shapes the whole experience.
A shared boat trip Komodo package — often called an Open Trip — puts you aboard a Phinisi alongside other travelers booked on the same departure date. It’s the most budget-friendly way to do a multi-day Komodo boat tour, and a great option if you enjoy meeting new people, though departure dates and cabins follow a fixed group schedule.
A private Komodo boat tour reserves the entire Phinisi — every cabin, every day of the itinerary — exclusively for your group. You choose the departure date, adjust the route, and pick the vessel tier, from Deluxe to full VVIP. It’s the better fit for families, couples, and groups who want complete control over their Komodo dragon boat tour.
Both formats cover the same core highlights — Komodo dragons, Padar Island, Pink Beach, and Manta Point. The difference is privacy, flexibility, and budget.
Full Itinerary: Komodo Tour 3 Days 2 Nights
Every Komodo 3D2N itinerary covers the highlights, but the order and timing matter — catching Padar Island at sunrise instead of midday, or visiting Kalong Island for the bat exodus at the right hour, shapes the entire experience. Below is the hour-by-hour itinerary used on our shared and private phinisi trips. Light and tide conditions may shift timing slightly; see our weather policy in the FAQ.

Cabin Price Comparison Shared / Open Trip
Every rate below is per person for a shared cabin, quoted in US dollars and issued direct by the operator — no marketplace commission is added on top. What moves the price is the vessel tier, the cabin type and how many guests share the boat, not the route: every open trip departure covers the same stops. Komodo National Park entrance and SiOra conservation fees are collected separately by the park authority and are payable in addition to the rates shown.

Cabin Price Comparison Private Charter
Private charter rates are quoted per trip for exclusive use of the whole phinisi, in US dollars, direct from the operator.

Park entrance and SiOra fees remain payable per guest. Sailing longer? Compare the Komodo tour 4 days 3 nights, or browse all Komodo liveaboard trips across Komodo National Park.

Luxury Phinisi
Spacious cabins, refined interiors, and attentive service for a private Komodo tour package without the VVIP price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Komodo Tour Package 3 Days 2 Nights?
The package includes 2 nights of onboard accommodation, all meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner), mineral water, coffee and tea, snorkeling equipment, a licensed tour guide, and return transfers between your hotel/airport and Labuan Bajo Harbour. Komodo National Park entrance fees, flights, and personal expenses are not included.
How much does a Komodo 3D2N tour cost?
Prices vary by boat type and cabin selection, starting from a shared cabin on a deluxe phinisi up to a private master suite on a VVIP charter. See the live cabin price comparison table above for current rates, or contact us via WhatsApp for a personalized quote.
Is the Komodo National Park entrance fee included in the package price?
No. Park entrance fees, conservation fees, and SiOra activity reservation fees are set by the Komodo National Park Authority (BTNK) and are paid separately from the boat package price.
What is the SiOra system and why does it matter for my 2026 trip?
SiOra (Sistem Informasi Online Reservasi Wisata Alam) is the official online booking platform from BTNK. Since April 1, 2026, all visitors must reserve park entry in advance, as the park enforces a daily cap of 1,000 visitors. Walk-in tickets are no longer accepted.
Do I need diving or snorkeling experience to join this trip?
No experience is required. Snorkeling spots on this itinerary are suitable for beginners, and life jackets are provided.
Will I definitely see a Komodo dragon?
Sightings are very likely but not 100% guaranteed, as dragons are wild animals. Komodo Island and Rinca Island both have consistently high sighting rates.
Will I see manta rays during the trip?
Manta ray sightings at Manta Point are common but depend on season. Sightings are most frequent from December to March, though they can occur year-round.
What time does the boat depart and return?
Most Komodo 3D2N shared trips depart Labuan Bajo Harbour around 09:30–10:30 AM on Day 1 and return around 12:00–13:00 PM on Day 3.
What should I pack for a 3-day Komodo boat trip?
Essentials include reef-safe sunscreen, swimwear, trekking shoes, a light jacket, cash in IDR, and any personal medication.
