Brand: Teman Liveaboard
Price: 425 EUR
Availability: InStock

Embark on an unforgettable voyage through Komodo National Park. Departing from Labuan Bajo, our cruises take you to some of Indonesia's most iconic marine environments, where vibrant coral reefs, dramatic walls, and current-swept points are famous for manta rays and pelagic life.

KOMODO BOAT TRIPS & PHINISI CRUISES: 4 TO 11 DAYS

Komodo is a bucket-list destination for divers, and our itineraries are built around its most celebrated sites. Expect strong currents, big schools of fish, and regular encounters with manta rays and reef sharks at locations like Batu Bolong, Manta Point, and Castle Rock. Our crew handles the logistics — briefings, tank fills, and site selection based on conditions — so you can focus on the diving.

Our Komodo diving open trips run 4 days 3 nights or 6 days 5 nights, and private charters run from 4 days 3 nights up to 13 days 12 nights, all departing from the port of Labuan Bajo aboard our Phinisi. On a 6 days 5 nights itinerary you check dive at Sebayur on arrival, then work through Batu Bolong, ranked among the top ten dive sites in the world, Manta Point on the Makassar reef for a gentle drift among mantas, and Golden Passage, one of the best drift dives in the park. Longer private charters reach the southern sites and allow repeat visits as conditions permit. Combined Komodo and Moyo itineraries are also possible on private charter.

For non-divers and families we run separate leisure boat trips of 4 days 3 nights to 6 days 5 nights, covering the Komodo dragons at Loh Liang, the Padar Island viewpoint, Pink Beach, Taka Makassar and snorkelling at Siaba Besar.

Tips for the crew

BEST KOMODO DIVE SITES: BATU BOLONG & MANTA POINT

Komodo's dive sites span a wide range of conditions within a small area. In the north, Castle Rock and Crystal Rock deliver fast drift dives over pinnacles thick with fish life and the occasional passing shark. Manta Point, further south, is a reliable cleaning station where mantas circle for their turn with the local wrasse. Batu Bolong sits mid-channel and rewards divers who can handle its current with dense coral cover and constant reef activity. Water temperatures vary noticeably by region and season — expect a wetsuit, even in the tropics.

KOMODO SNORKELING TRIPS: PINK BEACH, PADAR & MANTA RAYS

Not everyone on board is diving, and Komodo rewards snorkelers just as generously. Shallow coral gardens, calm bays, and clear water make it easy to spend an afternoon face-down watching reef fish without ever needing a tank. It's a good fit for families, couples, and anyone who'd rather ease into the water than gear up for a dive.

Pink Beach and Kanawa Island are two of the easiest, most reliable spots — calm, shallow, and full of life close to shore. Siaba Besar, often called turtle city, turns up turtles feeding in the shallows, and Manta Point isn't just for divers; snorkelers regularly spot mantas gliding past from the surface too.

Our leisure open trips run 4 days 3 nights or 6 days 5 nights, and private charters can be tailored from 4 days 3 nights, all departing Labuan Bajo aboard our Phinisi. A 4 days 3 nights trip takes in Kelor island, snorkelling at Manjarite beach, the evening bat show, the Padar Island viewpoint, Pink Beach and the Komodo dragons at Loh Liang. The 6 days 5 nights route adds a wilder Pink Beach reached early in the morning, Taka Makassar, a crescent of white sand where manta rays are a real possibility, the uninhabited island of Gili Lawa, and snorkelling at Sebayur Besar and Seven Mushroom.

YOUR KOMODO ISLAND LIVEABOARD TOUR

Beyond the water, Komodo National Park is worth the trip on its own terms. We build in time for the classic viewpoint hike on Padar Island — the one every Komodo photo seems to come from — plus a ranger-guided trek on Rinca or Komodo Island to see the dragons themselves. It's the part of the itinerary non-divers tend to remember most.

Teman Liveaboard is a 36-metre Indonesian phinisi, custom-built for both diving and leisure cruising. She carries a maximum of 12 guests across 5 ensuite cabins, with 10 permanent crew and a Cruise Director on board. Komodo trips run from 4 days 3 nights up to 11 days 10 nights, and alongside diving and snorkelling there is kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, island excursions and beach BBQs.
