A shared-cabin Komodo tour from Labuan Bajo starts from USD 300 per person for a 3-day, 2-night sailing. A private charter runs from USD 3,250 per boat per night, and a tailored Bali-to-Komodo package starts from USD 5,000 per person. Every visitor also buys the IDR 650.000 dated national-park ticket.
This guide is written from published operator rates, not guesswork. Our voyages are operated with our sister company Komodo Luxury — a fleet of 9 owned vessels and a network of 200+ partner boats, rated 4.9/5 by 1,500+ guests and named Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice 2025 & 2026. Every number below is a real 2026 rate or an official fee, so you can budget the trip before you ever message us.
Komodo Tour Prices at a Glance
Komodo pricing works in two layers: per person per cabin for scheduled departures, and per boat per night for private charters. The table below shows verified 2026 from-rates as published by Komodo Luxury, plus the one cost nobody escapes — the park ticket.
| Trip type | How it is priced | 2026 from-rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open trip 3D2N (shared cabin) | Per person / voyage | USD 300–850 | Fixed route: Padar, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Manta Point; 8–22 travelers |
| Private speedboat day trip | Per boat / day | From USD 680 | Padar, Pink Beach and the dragons between sunrise and sunset |
| Private phinisi charter | Per boat / night | USD 3,250–8,900 | Deluxe to VIP class, whole boat with crew, chef and full board |
| VVIP phinisi & superyacht | Per boat / night | USD 5,900–27,000 (+VAT on some vessels) | Most-requested VVIP class starts at USD 5,900 |
| Bali-to-Komodo package | Per person / package | From USD 5,000 | Return flights, private transfers and a 3D2N luxury liveaboard |
| Komodo National Park ticket | Per person / dated entry | IDR 650.000 | Dated ticket, roughly USD 40 — quoted separately from every boat rate |
The IDR 650.000 Park Ticket, Explained
Komodo National Park charges IDR 650.000 per person for entry, issued as a dated ticket valid for the date shown on it. At roughly USD 40, it sits outside every boat rate on the market — including ours — so always add it to the quote you are comparing.
The park lies off the western tip of Flores, and every landing inside it runs on this ticket. Because the ticket is dated, a multi-day sailing that re-enters the park needs the entry dates handled correctly — a detail your operator should manage for you, not leave you to discover at the ranger post. On the dragon treks themselves, a ranger escort is mandatory on Komodo and Rinca; escort arrangements are part of a properly organized itinerary, and any small local fees along the way are settled in cash, in rupiah.
Komodo Tour Prices from Labuan Bajo
Labuan Bajo, the westernmost town of Flores, is where almost every Komodo tour begins, and the komodo tour price from Labuan Bajo depends on one choice: shared or private. Shared cabins run USD 300–850 per person for the standard 3-day, 2-night route; a private boat is priced for the whole vessel.
On the scheduled sailings, the spread between USD 300 and USD 850 is real and worth understanding. The lower end buys a porthole-view cabin on the lower deck; the upper end buys a master cabin with a private balcony, a bathtub, or both. The route is identical — Padar’s ridgeline, Pink Beach, the dragons, Manta Point — so the question is purely how you want to live on board for two nights. If you only have one day, a private speedboat charter from USD 680 per day covers the headline sites without an overnight. For the full picture of day sails, two- and three-day sailings and what each tier feels like, see our guide to Flores cruises and Komodo boat trips.
Private Charters: Priced Per Boat, Per Night
Private Komodo charters are quoted per night for the whole boat, and the rate does not change with guest count — a USD 5,900 phinisi costs the same for two guests or ten. Published Komodo Luxury rates start at USD 3,250 per night for a Deluxe phinisi and rise to USD 27,000 for an ultra-luxury superyacht.
Across the wider market, the Komodo Charter Market Report 2026 puts the median whole-boat rate at USD 7,150 per night across 61 vessels with published prices. Within our own operation, the classes break down cleanly: Deluxe phinisi at USD 3,250–4,700 per night, VIP phinisi up to USD 8,900, the most-requested VVIP class from USD 5,900, and superyachts at USD 18,700–27,000 plus VAT on some vessels. Crew, chef, full board and routing are inside the rate; the dated park ticket is not. Our fleet pages list every vessel with cabins, dimensions and rates — start with the Flores yacht charter fleet and per-night rates, or compare multi-day sailing routes on our Flores liveaboard cabins and prices page.

Bali to Komodo Tour Prices
The bali to komodo tour price depends on whether the package carries you door to door. End-to-end packages start from USD 5,000 per person, covering return Bali–Labuan Bajo flights, private transfers, an optional hotel night and a 3-day, 2-night luxury phinisi liveaboard.
Longer sailings scale from there — a 7-day, 6-night private sailing package starts from USD 8,000 per person. The lighter-budget path is to book your own Bali–Labuan Bajo flight and join a boat-only shared departure from USD 300 per person, which is how many solo travelers and couples do it. If Komodo is the headline but you want the journey built around more of the island — Wae Rebo, Kelimutu, the Trans-Flores road — that is exactly what our tailor-made Flores journeys are designed for, and our Flores island guide shows how much sits beyond the park gates.
What’s Included — and What’s Not
A well-run Komodo tour includes far more than the boat, but no honest quote includes everything. Read the inclusion list before comparing prices, because two quotes USD 100 apart are often describing two different trips.
- Typically included: your cabin, all meals and drinking water on board, an English-speaking guide, snorkeling gear, harbor pick-up and drop-off in Labuan Bajo, and the full sailing itinerary.
- Almost never included: the IDR 650.000 dated park ticket, alcoholic drinks, diving add-ons, crew gratuities, and small port or local fees paid in cash.
- Worth carrying: some cash in rupiah for incidentals — cards are rarely useful once you leave Labuan Bajo.
- Tipping: customary rather than compulsory; guests who are happy with the crew commonly leave around 10% of the trip cost.
Whatever operator you choose, get the inclusion list in writing. Ours is itemized on every quote, down to the park ticket handling.
When Komodo Prices Rise — and How to Book Well
Komodo runs on a clear calendar: July–August and the New Year period are peak, and boats price and fill accordingly. The Flores Sea is at its calmest from April to October, which makes the shoulder months — April to early June, and September to October — the sweet spot of good seas and better availability.
Private charters for July–August are best reserved months ahead, because the whole-boat format means one booking removes the vessel from the calendar entirely. Scheduled cabin departures are more forgiving, but the balcony and master cabins — the USD 570–850 tier — are consistently the first to sell out. Booking earlier does not change the published rate; it changes which boats and cabins are still on the table.

Almost never — the IDR 650.000 dated ticket is quoted separately from boat rates by operators across the market. Budget it per person for each dated entry, and carry some cash in rupiah for small local fees once you leave Labuan Bajo.
