Phinisi & Liveaboard Komodo | KomodoBajo

Sail, Stay & Explore the Komodo Archipelago

Phinisi & Liveaboard experiences offer a unique way to explore Komodo National Park by combining comfortable accommodation, sailing, island exploration, snorkeling, trekking, and unforgettable scenery in one journey.

Instead of returning to Labuan Bajo each day, travelers stay aboard a traditional-style Phinisi boat and wake up surrounded by the islands and turquoise waters of the Komodo archipelago.

Experience Komodo by Phinisi

A liveaboard journey allows you to experience Komodo at a relaxed pace.

Spend your days exploring islands, snorkeling in clear waters, trekking through savanna, searching for Komodo dragons, and enjoying beautiful sunsets.

At night, return to the boat, enjoy dinner, relax on deck, and spend the night under the tropical sky.

The experience is as much about the journey between the islands as the destinations themselves.
