See six islands in one day, with rare lunch on Komodo Island
This 1 day speedboat trip is top-rated - for good reason! This is the only 1-day trip that gets you to the iconic Padar island before the crowds arrive. Unlike slow 1 day boats that only visit 3 islands in a day, this speedboat trip also takes you to 6 islands in a day - as many as a 2D1N boat trip! It’s also one of the few trips that includes a rare lunch on Komodo Island, where you might just dine with little Komodo dragons wandering nearby!The crew is one of the top crews in Komodo, known for their professionalism, making sure you have a hassle-free experience. Behind the scenes, they're also a very eco-conscious team that actively organises trash pick-ups in Komodo National Park during their trips and on their off-days.If you’re short on time but want to see the best of Komodo in a responsible way, this is the trip for you.Why this is great#1 ranked experience in Komodo National ParkLunch on Komodo Island...because who wouldn't want that?They'll get you to the awesome Padar views before the crowds get there!Friendly crew committed to making your day fun and hassle-free.Support eco-conscious operator: crew regularly pick up trash during tours and organise beach and harbour clean upsWhat to ExpectStart the day early and be the first to reach Padar Island, beating the crowds to the iconic viewpoint.Hike to the top of Padar (30 minutes, short but steep) for breathtaking panoramic views of its unique crescent-shaped beaches.Head to Komodo Island to spot the famous Komodo dragons in their natural habitat—over 1,700 live here!Enjoy a rare lunch on Komodo Island, surrounded by stunning landscapes and possibly some (smaller) Komodo dragons.Relax on the stunning Pink Beach, where red coral gives the sand a unique blush hue.Snorkel at Taka Makassar, a picturesque sandbar, and Manta Point, where you may spot majestic manta rays.End the trip at Siaba Besar, a snorkelling paradise known for its colourful coral and friendly sea turtles.Please note before booking Once the time for pickup is given, drivers will only wait for a maximum of 10 minutes from the pickup time at your hotel in Labuan Bajo City Center.Keep in mind that the tour schedule and destinations may vary depending on the weather/ sea conditions and also harbor restrictionsThis is free of charge for 4 years old and under, and they are also exempt from paying the National Park Fee, provided they are accompanied by adults.

Meet your host

Warren fell in love with Komodo National Park and wanted to share its beauty with others in a way that truly made a difference. He and his team run one-day speedboat tours with local crews, combining their deep knowledge of the area with top-notch service. But what really sets Warren apart is his commitment to keeping Komodo pristine. Every day, his team picks up trash as they guide visitors through the park, and during the low season, when boats can’t go out, they clean up the harbour instead—paid just as if they were leading a tour. For Warren, showing people Komodo isn’t just about the adventure—it’s about protecting the place he loves for generations to come.

Hi! I had a couple of questions for this tour. 1) for the lunch, are you able to cater to vegetarians? 2) what’s the max number of people on the boat? 3) I am looking at 1 or 2 August 2025 - does the boat include toilets? 4) does free pick up include pick up from Ayana hotel?

Avi, 28 Mar 2025

Hi what are the different locations and the breakdown of the duration for each location? Is there a detailed itinery?

Giselle , 22 Mar 2025

Hi Giselle, You can find the detailed itinerary in the "What You’ll Be Doing" section on the website.

How often are the trips cancelled due to heavy rain and wether conditions? I wanted to go this weekend but all forecast seem pretty grim. Any advice?

Mimi, 18 Mar 2025

Hi Mimi, thanks for reaching out! The weather can be unpredictable, but light rain usually passes quickly (within 5–15 minutes), so the tour will still proceed. However, if there’s heavy rain on the morning of departure, the host will wait up to an hour to see if conditions improve. If the rain doesn’t let up, you’ll have the option to reschedule or receive a full refund. For more details, you can also check the Cancellation & Other Policies section on our website.

Hello, my flight is at 6pm (Komodo Intl Airport), can I check if I can still do this tour and can the tour operator drop me off at the airport?

Rong, 16 Mar 2025

Hi Rong, yes, the tour ends around 4pm, so you should have plenty of time to catch your 6pm flight. We can also arrange a drop-off to the airport for you. When making your booking, please leave a note with your flight time so that your host can prioritize your transfer. :)
