What turns a great trip into a complete experience, both above and below the water.
Komodo National Park is located in eastern Indonesia, in the Flores Sea. It consists of three main islands—Komodo, Rinca, and Padar—along with numerous smaller islands. Renowned for its rugged landscapes, vibrant coral reefs, and the legendary Komodo dragons, the park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Indonesia’s most iconic destinations.
Most travelers require a visa to enter Indonesia. Visitors from many countries can apply for a Visa on Arrival (VoA), valid for 30 days and extendable for another 30 days. You’ll need a passport valid for at least six months from your date of entry, a return ticket, and payment of the visa fee (usually $35 USD). Check with your local Indonesian consulate for specific requirements for your nationality.
All of our Komodo liveaboard adventures begin and end at Labuan Bajo Harbor on the island of Flores. Labuan Bajo’s Komodo Airport (LBJ) is just a 10-minute drive from the town center, making it an easy starting point for your journey.
There are daily flights to Labuan Bajo from Bali (DPS) and Jakarta (CGK), operated by airlines such as Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air, Batik Air, and Wings Air. We recommend checking schedules and booking tickets through reliable platforms like traveloka.com or tiket.com.

We strive to avoid crowded areas and adapt our plans to deliver the most unique and memorable experience possible.
Water temperatures vary by season and location, ranging from 21–30°C. Most dives are in waters above 26°C. We provide 3mm long wetsuits, and if you tend to feel cold, we can supply an additional layer upon request.
Most of Komodo National Park has reliable 4G coverage, especially near popular sites. We recommend purchasing a Telkomsel SIM card with a data package before your trip for the best connectivity. However, some remote areas in the northern and southern parts of the park may have limited or no reception.
Absolutely! We start each trip with a comprehensive dive briefing and an easy check dive in calm waters to ensure you feel comfortable. If it has been several years since your last dive, we recommend completing a refresher course before arriving. Alternatively, we can arrange a refresher session on the first day of your trip—just let us know in advance.
Yes, diving insurance is mandatory due to the remote location. We recommend purchasing a plan that covers medical evacuations. We also offer DAN (Diver Alert Network) Short-Term Insurance, valid anywhere in Indonesia, which can be arranged before your trip or upon arrival.
Labuan Bajo has a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, located at Siloam Hospital, for emergency decompression treatment. General medical facilities are basic, so we recommend bringing any medications you may need and taking necessary precautions to avoid emergencies.
While mosquitos are rare at sea, they can be present during treks on the islands. We recommend using mosquito repellent and wearing long sleeves during dawn or dusk excursions. Malaria prevention is not mandatory, but consult your doctor for advice before traveling.
