Lombok to Komodo Cruise Itinerary

A day-by-day look at every voyage — from a fast 3-day escape to a leisurely 6-day expedition through Komodo National Park.

In Short

Our cruise departs from Senggigi, Lombok and sails east toward Flores, weaving through Komodo, Padar, Pink Beach, Kenawa and Rinca before returning to Lombok. Choose from four durations – 3D2N, 4D3N, 5D4N or 6D5N – each pacing the same iconic highlights differently.

Choosing Your Duration

The 3-day express suits time-pressed travellers who want a quick taste of dragons and signature snorkelling. The 4-day voyage is our best-value pick — ideal pacing for first-timers covering Komodo, Padar and Pink Beach. The 5- and 6-day options add Rinca Island, quieter trails and unhurried days for photographers and relaxed explorers.
