Two ways to explore Komodo — a shared scheduled voyage or your own exclusive yacht. Here is how to choose.
Both options visit the same iconic sites — Komodo National Park, Pink Beach, Manta Point and premium snorkelling spots. The real difference is the style of experience: a sociable fixed-date trip or a fully customised private adventure.
An open trip is a scheduled voyage on fixed dates with a set itinerary, sharing the vessel with 20–40 fellow travellers. It is the most budget-friendly way to sail Komodo and a great way to meet other explorers.
A private charter gives you exclusive use of the entire yacht for your chosen duration, with a fully customisable itinerary and flexible departure dates — VIP service tailored to your group.
Open trips run roughly $250–$450/person for 3 days and $350–$650/person for 4 days. Private charters range from $1,500–$5,000+ total for 3 days and $2,000–$8,000+ for 4 days. With a group of 8, private per-person rates ($300–$1,000+) can rival open-trip pricing while adding exclusivity.
Open trips follow a predetermined route with set departures, shared or small private cabins and standard group service. Private charters offer a 100% customisable itinerary, any departure date, spacious private quarters, premium meals and personalised VIP attention.
Open trips suit solo travellers, backpackers, budget-conscious couples and flexible first-timers. Private charters are ideal for honeymoons and milestone events, groups of 8–15, corporate retreats, families with young children and special-interest travellers like photographers and divers.
A quick side-by-side of what each style of voyage delivers.
Fixed dates, set itinerary, 20–40 travellers, from $250/person. Sociable and budget-friendly.
Exclusive yacht, any date, fully customisable, from $1,500 total. Private and VIP.
Both visit Komodo, Pink Beach, Manta Point and premium snorkelling sites.
You can transfer from an open trip to a private charter, or combine both with speedboat add-ons.
