1-Day Komodo Speedboat Sailing Trip – 6 Premium Destinations

The 1-day Komodo Speedboat Sailing Trip is a full-day speedboat trip that takes you to six destinations at once, including Padar, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Taka Makasar, Manta Point, and Siaba Island. Prices start at IDR 1,350,000 per person. Ideal for travelers who want to save time without missing out on iconic spots in Komodo National Park.

Because the speedboat is much faster than a wooden boat, this trip can cover more destinations in one day than a full-day trip on a regular phinisi. Highlights include trekking in Padar, swimming at Pink Beach, encountering Komodo dragons, snorkeling at Taka Makasar, and hunting manta rays at Manta Point, all in one full day. Check the schedule before this day slot fills up.

Why Choose This Komodo Speedboat Sailing Trip?

Speed is the main advantage of this trip. Traveling between islands by speedboat is much shorter than by wooden boat, allowing you more effective time at each destination instead of wasting time traveling by sea. This allows this trip to cover six destinations in one day, including Manta Point, which is usually not included in full-day wooden boat trips.

The price is also more affordable compared to open trip sailing Komodo 1 day with wooden boat, making it the perfect choice for those seeking a more comprehensive destination on a more budget-friendly basis. One important thing to note is that sailing trip registration must be made at least one day before departure, as all participants must be registered with the Labuan Bajo City Harbor Master. This isn't just a booking formality, but an official rule that applies to all trips in Komodo National Park.
