Most Komodo liveaboards include everything you need for a comfortable multi day trip. This usually covers all meals, snacks, tea, coffee, soft drinks and unlimited drinking water. You also get a private or shared cabin with air conditioning, clean bedding and access to bathrooms with showers. The crew, captain and guide are included in the price, and they handle navigation, cooking, housekeeping and all daily activities. Snorkelling stops, island visits and guided hikes are part of the standard itinerary on almost every boat.
Another important inclusion is snorkelling equipment. Quality phinisi cruises normally provide masks, snorkels and fins without extra fees. Some luxury boats even include towels, soap and basic toiletries. Safety equipment such as life jackets, first aid kits and a tender boat for island transfers are always part of the package. Park permits are often included on Labuan Bajo departures, which saves time and avoids the need to pay separate fees at each stop.
On our partner boats, the experience is designed to feel all inclusive from the moment you step on board. The crew prepares all meals, helps you with snorkelling gear, assists children and older travellers and handles everything behind the scenes so you can focus on the scenery. The only things not included are alcohol, personal expenses and optional tips. For travellers looking for a convenient and well organised trip, a liveaboard is the easiest way to explore Komodo National Park.
