Experience the Ultimate Komodo Liveaboard Adventure

Komodo Liveaboard Diving | Luxury Liveaboard Cruises

A Komodo liveaboard is a multi-day sailing and diving experience that takes you deep into Komodo National Park’s most untouched waters, far beyond what day trips can reach.

Sail with Komodo Luxury, a leading liveaboard operator known for refined vessels, experienced dive teams, and thoughtfully designed itineraries. Each cruise combines comfortable en-suite cabins, professional PADI dive masters, Nitrox-supported diving, and access to iconic sites like Manta Alley and Castle Rock, with up to four dives a day.

With over 10 years of experience and a TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Award (2025), Komodo Luxury delivers a standard of liveaboard diving shaped by precision, discretion, and a deep respect for one of the world’s most remarkable marine regions.

What Is a Komodo Liveaboard?

A Komodo liveaboard is a multi-day journey through Komodo National Park, where diving, snorkeling, and island exploration take place directly from a purpose-built vessel.

Unlike day trips from Labuan Bajo, a liveaboard komodo allows you to:

Dive 2–4 times per day

Access remote dive sites unreachable by speedboats

Experience sunrise, sunset, and night dives

Wake up directly above iconic reefs and manta cleaning stations

This format is ideal for certified divers, snorkelers, underwater photographers, and luxury travelers seeking maximum exploration with minimal transit time.
