Our operation  eliminates the long boat trip from Bali to the Komodo Park by taking you on a domestic flight from Denpasar to Labuanbajo, the gateway to komodo national park. From Labuhanbajo airport we take you with speedboats to our boats , which are permanently based in the park getting you fast to the best that Komodo has to offer! Which is a lot! (the transfer (incl airport taxi and speedboat ) from airport to the boat is approx 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes )

This means we don’t have fixed departures , and always loop the boats around a  flexible itinerary in the park. This flexible itinerary is slightly different with the seasons . during the dry season (JUNE JULY AUGUST) the main southeastern trade wind will make diving and sailing in the south very uncomfortable (viz goes down to a few meters ) , so we will stay in the north and the middle of the park (NEW from 2010 we will try to do some 3 day trips to WEST KOMODO during these months) . During the wet monsoon, (JANUARY FEBRUARY ) (It doesn’t really rain much in this part of Indonesia , not even in the raining season ) the main winds are north western , and it is sometimes not possible to dive the northern most dive sites, so we mainly dive the middle and the south of the park. The rest of the year (march, april, may and September,  October, November , December ) it is possible to go all over the park (you will need to book a 10 night trip to be able to do so). During the monsoon months when we can not cover the north or the south we recommend you to book 7 night trips maximum.(unless chartered trips where we can include other areas outside the park such as Banta and Sanggean )

Currents are vicious in Komodo national park therefore it’s impossible to make fixed day to day itineraries, our cruise directors , dive masters and captains will mutually design the best possible itinerary on the spot … This will guarantee you the best diving and sailing experience during your stay in the park. We will always do the dragon trekking in Rinca island ranger station (possible wildlife and dragon sightings (guaranteed) are far superior than the trekking offered on the Komodo ranger station ).  

To give you an idea of what is waiting for you here  , we have included a description of some of our dive sites, trekkings and excursions you may expect during your stay with us. For non divers the possibilities to do  snorkeling and other activities are excellent all over the park, and we will have a separate tender and guide for ready you  …. Komodo , a must if you are visiting Indonesia ….
