Two, three, four, five or six days: what each really holds

Two days and one night hold the three most photographed stops: Taka Makassar, Manta Point and Padar on day 1, Pink Beach and Komodo Island on day 2. It is a sample route, and it is the shortest charter we price.

Three days and two nights are the standard route. On day 1 the standard route visits Sebayur or Siaba, Taka Makassar, Manta Point and Padar, and on day 2 Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Pengah and Kalong. Day 3 brings Kelor and Manjarite, then the boat ties up again between 11:00 and 12:00.

That is ten stops in three days, and the first two days are full. A fit party enjoys it. A party with grandparents or children reaches day 3 worn out. What three days would cut is time, more than places.

Four days add Rinca and Manjarite as a third day, and a last morning at Kelor. The sample route keeps days 1 and 2 as they run on the standard route, but the third morning no longer starts with a packing bag. This is the first length that gives a day off the clock.

The extra night gives back hours rather than stops. Padar can be climbed when the heat has eased, and Komodo Island can be walked without a glance at the time. The beach dinner setup is free from three nights, so four days include it.

Four days suit a party that has a week of leave minus travel, a family with younger children, and anyone who wants to try a long charter before committing to five.

Five days spread the loop. Day 1 is Sebayur or Siaba, Taka Makassar and Manta Point, and day 2 is Padar and Pink Beach. Day 3 is Komodo Island, Pengah and Kalong, day 4 is Rinca and Manjarite, and day 5 is Kelor. Nothing in the loop asks for more than three stops in a day.

Six days split the first day in two. Sebayur or Siaba becomes a light first day, with Taka Makassar and Manta Point sharing the second. The rest of the loop is as in the five-day sample, and the sixth day is a gentler start.

Both are sample routes. Weather and tide decide each stop; the captain agrees the final order with you, and the written plan from us comes before any payment.

Each added night changes the bill by a fixed step. Three days cost IDR 140,000,000 (≈ USD 8,589) for up to ten guests. Four days cost IDR 170,000,000 (≈ USD 10,429), five days IDR 200,000,000 (≈ USD 12,270) and six days IDR 230,000,000 (≈ USD 14,110). The 2-day plan costs IDR 120,000,000 (≈ USD 7,362).

Per day, per head, the long plans are cheaper. Fourteen guests pay IDR 11,290,000 (≈ USD 693) each for three days and IDR 13,710,000 (≈ USD 841) each for four. Five days cost IDR 16,000,000 (≈ USD 982) each, and six cost IDR 18,140,000 (≈ USD 1,113). The boat is the same; only the days that divide the bill change.

Each guest above ten adds a step of IDR 5,500,000 (≈ USD 337) on four days, IDR 6,000,000 (≈ USD 368) on five and IDR 6,000,000 (≈ USD 368) on six. Park tickets are separate.
