Looking for a mini-cruise to the Komodo Islands

Translated into English.

Hello everyone and Happy New Year 2025! I see there haven’t been any posts about mini-cruises around the Komodo Islands since 2020, and we’d love to do one with visits to Komodo Island—of course, including the famous dragon—and some snorkeling. We’re 66 years old and want to make sure we have good comfort on the boat, and most importantly, excellent safety regarding the vessel and crew. Since things in Indonesia change so quickly, could anyone recommend a reliable company in Labuan Bajo? Just to clarify, we already visited Flores last autumn and aren’t looking for an organized tour or anything else—just Komodo. Thanks in advance, and once again, best wishes for amazing travels ahead! !

hi there,

just so you know, the forum was closed on 25/10/2020 and only reopened in October 2024! so it’s totally normal there hasn’t been any activity for 4 years.

For Komodo, you can only disembark in small groups accompanied by 2 rangers to avoid accidents with these gentle creatures. There’s been talk for 4 years about closing the site to protect it, but the authorities haven’t made a decision yet…

happy travels for 2025! jj

Hi everyone, Yeah, I know the forum we all love and I’ve already "used" so much was closed for way too long!!! But I’m thinking that since it reopened, there must be travelers who’ve been to Komodo between 2020 and 2024. I also know the Komodo Islands are protected—and that’s great!—but that doesn’t stop you from going there. As I mentioned, we did visit Flores, which is gorgeous, but when we got to Labuan Bajo, we had to leave!! Thanks anyway for your message, and happy 2025
