Samara Liveaboard Shared Trip: A Social Luxury Voyage Through Komodo National Park

Imagine exploring Komodo National Park, a UNESCO-listed marine paradise, aboard a beautifully crafted wooden yacht where adventure, comfort, and connection come together. That’s exactly what Samara Liveaboard’s Shared Trip — also known as the Open Trip Komodo — offers: a shared yet luxurious sailing journey tailored for solo travelers, couples, and small groups alike.

What Is the Shared Trip (Open Trip)?

Samara’s Shared Trip is a group sailing experience where participants book individual cabins on a luxury phinisi yacht, rather than chartering the whole vessel privately. This setup creates a social and enriching atmosphere that allows guests to meet like-minded travelers while still enjoying high-quality service and comfort onboard.

Unlike crowded tourist boats, Samara’s Open Trip balances personal space and shared experience, combining the luxury of a private yacht with the camaraderie of small group travel.

Highlights of the Voyage

Participants of the Shared Trip embark on a multi-day journey across Komodo National Park’s most scenic spots. Typical experiences include:

🏝 Island Adventures – Visit iconic locations such as Padar Island with its panoramic summit views, Pink Beach with its unique coral-colored sand, and various secluded coves.
🐉 Wildlife Encounters – Enjoy guided tours to see Komodo dragons at their natural habitat on Komodo and Rinca Islands.
🌊 Snorkeling & Water Fun – Explore crystal-clear waters, swim with manta rays at Manta Point, or paddle around calm bays with snorkeling gear and paddleboards provided onboard.
🌅 Scenic Views & Relaxation – Witness breathtaking sunrises and sunsets from whole-boat decks, relax in shaded lounge areas, or simply unwind with fellow travelers as the boat sails through stunning seascapes.
