Visitors never get bored by the natural charm it exonerates.

How to get to Komodo Island?

Getting to Komodo Island is done by firstly arriving in Labuan Bajo. If you are arriving by air, you will be going through Komodo International Airport. 

Check out our page on Labuan Bajo to know how to get to this small fishing town.

A swift transfer to a ferry or a liveaboard will be the second step towards the island. Many boats leave Labuan Bajo’s harbor to get to the different islands that make up Komodo National Park. The boat ride is roughly 2 hours long. 

Chartering a private yacht or a traditional Phinisi is an invitation to explore the island at your leisure. You can choose where you wish to stop off — making the whole adventure more tailored to your tastes.

Where to stay on Komodo Island?

Due to the preservation of the National Park, there are not many places to stay.

Only a few bungalows are kept for special guests — such as film crew or park rangers.

Visitors stay on nearby islands, such as resorts on Labuan Bajo or the Komodo Resort in Sebayur. 

If you are looking to be closer to the island, we couldn’t recommend liveaboards more. Many traditional Indonesian yachts, called Phinisis, depart from Labuan Bajo.

You can rent cabins or charter a private boat. This will give you the most authentic and luxurious experience of the islands.
