The Ultimate Private Komodo Experience

Escape the crowds and explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Komodo National Park on your own terms. Our private tours offer the exclusivity of a chartered vessel—whether a high-speed boat for a day trip or a traditional Phinisi schooner for a multi-day liveaboard adventure. You control the pace as you island-hop between the prehistoric habitats of the Komodo Dragons on Rinca and Komodo Islands, snorkel in the pristine waters of Pink Beach, and hike the iconic peaks of Padar. With a private crew and dedicated guide, your journey through these legendary islands is tailored specifically to your preferences, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and unforgettable wildlife expedition.

Unforgettable Day Trip!

We booked the private speedboat for our family of four. The captain was amazing and we got to Padar Island before the big crowds. Seeing the dragons was surreal! Highly recommend booking private for the flexibility.

Luxury Phinisi Experience

The 3-day private boat tour was the highlight of our Indonesia trip. The crew cooked incredible food and sleeping under the stars near Kalong Island was magical. The boat was clean and comfortable.

Great guides, hot weather

The tour organization was flawless. Our guide spoke excellent English and spotted manta rays for us to snorkel with. Just be prepared for the heat on the islands!

Perfect diving charter

We rented a private boat for diving. The dive master knew exactly where to go to avoid currents and see the best life. Saw turtles, sharks, and mantas. Excellent service.

Honeymoon Perfection

We did the 2-day private tour. It was so romantic to have the boat to ourselves. The sunset at Flying Fox Island is a must-see. Worth every penny.
