About
Clear guide to book komodo trip plans: private boats, liveaboards, and speedboats from Labuan Bajo, plus how to contact our planning desk.
To book komodo trip plans through Komodo Ticket, you send our planning desk your dates, group size, and budget, then we match you to a suitable boat and route. This page explains exactly how that works, what to expect, and how to make a precise enquiry so we can hold accurate options for you.
Komodo Ticket is an independent Komodo National Park ticket and trip guide, based in Labuan Bajo. Bookings made through this page are fulfilled by our operating partner, Komodo Luxury, a licensed local company with its own fleet and vetted partner boats.
Our role is to help you choose and book the Komodo trip that actually fits your dates, group, and comfort level — not just whatever boat happens to have space.

Why this matters: peak dates (especially July–September and major holidays) can sell out months ahead for mid-range and premium boats, while shoulder months often have more room to negotiate.
Tell us:
Private phinisi boats in Komodo typically carry from 2–4 guests on the smallest yachts up to 12–16 on mid-range liveaboards, and more on larger vessels. Capacity varies by cabin layout, so we need your group breakdown to propose realistic boats.
We do not post fixed prices because rates vary by:

FAQ
Tickets & Fees
Sometimes they are, sometimes they are not; policies differ between boats and can change. On every offer we send, we will clearly indicate if park fees are included in your quoted price or if you should bring cash to pay them directly at the entry point. We’ll also share the latest official fee structure we have at the time of your enquiry.
Booking & Planning
For mid-range and luxury private charters in July–September and around major holidays, aim for 3–6 months ahead for the best choice of boats and dates. For shoulder months, 1–3 months can be enough, though popular weekends may still fill early. Private speedboat day trips usually have more availability but can still sell out on peak days.
Trips & Boats
Yes, private charters are flexible within the limits of safety, distance, and park regulations. Before departure we’ll agree a base plan (e.g. Padar, Komodo/Rinca, Pink Beach, Manta Point), and then the captain and guide may adjust timing or order on the day based on tides, weather, and crowds.
Many families sail with children on private boats each year, but it depends on your child’s age, comfort on water, and your own risk tolerance. Boats have railings and lifejackets, yet open decks, ladders, and moving parts still require constant supervision. Tell us the ages of your children and we’ll suggest boat types and cabin layouts that tend to work better for families.
Often yes, especially outside the absolute peak dates, but choice will be limited by what is still available and by sea conditions. The fastest way is to contact us on WhatsApp with your exact date and number of guests; if there is an option, we can then move quickly to formalise the booking through Komodo Luxury.
