The 3 Days 2 Nights Komodo Open Trip is an unforgettable shared boat adventure through Komodo National Park, one of Southeast Asia’s most spectacular marine and wildlife destinations. This immersive journey offers a perfect balance of trekking, snorkeling, wildlife encounters, and scenic cruising — ideal for explorers, backpackers, couples, and small groups.
🌊 Overview of the Open Trip
This tour departs from Labuan Bajo, the gateway town on Flores Island, and sails through the turquoise waters of Komodo National Park. Unlike day trips, the 3-day format gives you more time to explore remote islands, discover pristine beaches, and enjoy breathtaking underwater life.
This type of trip is usually conducted on a shared phinisi or wooden boat with cabins for sleeping onboard. It’s a budget-friendly option compared to private charters but still offers a rich experience with meals, guide services, and plenty of activities included.
