Boat in Komodo National Park
Your boat, which will sail you through Komodo National Park, has two levels.
Below deck is a dining area where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served. Unlimited mineral water, coffee and tea are available. During the day, the cooking crew will prepare various types of fruit and snacks. At the flanks of the boat are two private cabins. Bathroom with freshwater shower and toilet are below deck as well. We recommend sleeping without AC at night so that the generator can be turned off. This way, you’ll only hear the sound of the soft waves. On top deck are lounge-chairs and beanbags for sunbathing and relaxing. The boat is equipped with a speedboat that’ll take you to smaller islands without damaging the corals. Life jackets and life buoys are available on the boat. Your experienced captain knows exactly where and when it is favorable to sail, based on the currents and weather conditions.
