Timing
Best time to visit Komodo by yacht
Komodo is a dry-season destination. Sea state, visibility and reliability all peak in the same window.
May–June
Green shoulder season, calmer prices, excellent visibility.
July–August
Peak season — book 6–9 months ahead for the best yachts.
September–October
Warm, calm, and the best all-round diving conditions.
Getting there
How to get to Komodo
All Komodo yacht charters embark from Labuan Bajo, the small port town on the western tip of Flores. The easiest route is to fly into Bali (Denpasar / DPS), then take a 1-hour connecting flight to Labuan Bajo (LBJ). Direct flights are also available from Jakarta and Surabaya.
We generally recommend arriving in Labuan Bajo the night before departure to avoid flight delays and to enjoy a calm boarding morning. Most private yachts leave the harbour late morning.
