Overview

For travellers who want the ultimate Indonesian sailing adventure, this expedition departs by sea directly from Benoa Harbour in Bali and cruises east across the Lesser Sunda islands all the way to Komodo National Park — bypassing airports entirely. Over seven nights aboard a traditional phinisi you sail past Nusa Penida, Lombok, Sumbawa and the Flores islands, stopping to snorkel, dive, walk empty beaches and finally trek with the Komodo dragons before reaching Labuan Bajo. It is a slow-travel, blue-water journey best suited to confident travellers and private groups. Routing, prices and inclusions are indicative and depend on the vessel, season and charter — confirm details with us.
