Multi-night dive and cruise voyages from USD 250/person (shared) to USD 4,000/night (private charter) — Komodo’s UNESCO islands as your floating resort.
Luxury liveaboard in Labuan Bajo combines diving and cruising — sleep aboard while exploring Komodo’s UNESCO-listed islands, diving world-class reefs, and snorkelling pristine lagoons. Shared liveaboards start at USD 250/person for 3 days; private luxury charters from USD 1,900/night.
Multi-night experiences (3–7 days) immerse you in the Flores Sea — day diving, evening island exploration, sunset on deck, breakfast dives at dawn.
A liveaboard is a yacht where guests sleep aboard for multiple nights while exploring destination waters. Liveaboards remain anchored at prime locations — enabling morning dives before breakfast, sunset explorations, and night dives after dinner — instead of returning to port each evening.
Three Booking Modes
Six factors that change everything when you sleep aboard.
| Factor | Liveaboard | Day Trip |

| Timing Flexibility | Early morning dives before tourists arrive; night dives | Midday only; sunset rush congestion |
