sailing adventure in Labuan Bajo, Indonesia

Labuan Bajo is the perfect starting point for a stunning sailing adventure exploring tropical islands like Kelor, Padar, Pink Beach, Manta Point, and Komodo Island while snorkeling, trekking, or simply enjoying the sun on the deck of a traditional phinisi boat. Most sailing trips last 3 days and 2 nights (3D2N), offering a complete experience including accommodation, three daily meals, an English-speaking guide, and snorkeling equipment.

The price per person for a sharing cabin usually starts from IDR 2,950,000 (around USD 200), while a private cabin costs around IDR 3,950,000–4,950,000 (USD 270–340). This package does not include the Komodo National Park entrance fee (approximately IDR 500,000 per person), tips, insurance, or personal expenses so the total realistic budget is around IDR 4,500,000–5,500,000 (USD 310–380) per person.

A more luxurious alternative is a private charter or deluxe yacht: prices start from USD 575 (around IDR 8,500,000) for a deluxe private cabin on a 3D2N trip, and can go up to IDR 62 million per boat for a private charter accommodating four people. These trips offer full service, luxury decks, and extra facilities like Wi-Fi, paddleboards, and hot-water cabins perfect for a special getaway.

Tips for a comfortable and budget-friendly trip:
• Choose a sharing cabin if you’re a solo traveler or on a tight budget — it’s more affordable and includes all the main facilities.
• Want a more private, exclusive vibe? Upgrade to a private cabin or consider a private charter.
• Always factor in the Komodo National Park entrance fee and crew tips in your budget to avoid surprise costs at the end.
