How to get to Komodo?2020-01-04T03:59:29+00:00

The easiest way is to arrive by plane. Labuan Bajo Airport is where you need to arrive.

From Bali, it’s only a 1 hour flight.

Check your flights on Air Asia or Traveloka

What should I bring with me?2020-01-04T00:58:03+00:00

Since the weather is usually sunny, you will spend most of the stay in bathing suits, so bring even a few of them. You will spend most time on board barefoot, but it’s good to pack some flip-flops and trainers for hikes.

Occasionally, it can get a little bit cool in the evenings,  so a light top is useful to have.

We recommend to use rash-vests as they are a great solution to limit the use of sunblock.

Avoid suitcases if possible and try to use soft collapsible bags.

Is this adventure safe for young children?2020-01-04T00:59:10+00:00

We love having children on board. We have life jackets for kids and also snorkeling gears but if you have your own which fit well, it’s a good idea to bring it.

What will the food be like?2020-01-04T00:59:37+00:00
