Komodo open trip dates for 2026 and 2027, every Monday and Friday

Some Mondays and Fridays are missing from the calendar. A date drops out once it has sailed or filled, or when the boat is on a private charter or in dock, so nobody plans a flight around a sailing that cannot be booked.

Each date that remains carries one of two labels. Few cabins left is the status on 11 October 2026, when the boat's calendar sheet showed only a few cabins open. Ask about this date means cabins were open on that day, and open does not mean held for you: a cabin is held only after the deposit.

Flags age, so treat each one as a question to put to us and not as an answer. If your date shows Few cabins left, ask which cabin kinds remain before you buy a flight, and ask whether a second date a week later would suit the group.

Hotel and airport pickup in Labuan Bajo costs nothing and falls between 10:30 and 11:55 on day one. The exact time reaches you the day before. That makes day one an afternoon on the water and not a full day, and it is the reason to arrive a day early rather than on the morning flight. At the boat, guests board from a wooden platform with a ladder on the starboard side, midship.

For the flight home, count from the dock: the boat arrives between 10:00 and 11:00 on the last morning of a three-day sailing, and the drive and check-in take the early afternoon, so book a departure after 14:00. A two-day guest is back in the evening of day two and should not fly that night.

If the group needs hotel rooms for the night before or after, say so when you send the dates.

Sailings to the end of 2026 use the 2026 fares. Sailings from 1 January to 31 July 2027 use the 2027 fares, and every 2027 open-trip fare is higher than its 2026 twin, in each cabin class and in both lengths. August to December 2027 has no printed card yet, so those dates follow the 2027 fares until a new card appears.

Both fare tables, with the extra-bed rates, sit on the cabins page. The date you choose decides which table prices your sailing, so settle the date first and read the fare second.

The 2027 calendar already holds bookings from other parties, which makes a Friday in July or August worth asking about early.

Pick a private charter if your party is 15 or more and everyone wants the same dates. At 15 and 16 guests the whole boat costs about what an open-trip bed costs per head, and from 17 guests it costs less, with the dates, the route and the roof to yourselves. A group of 16 on 3D2N pays IDR 5,220,000 (≈ USD 320) each. The charter leaves out the guide and the photo set, which the open trip includes, so add them to the charter side before you compare.

Stay with the open trip if you are fewer than 15, happy to share cabins two to a room, and glad to have the guide and the photo and video set in the fare. You share the restaurant, the roof and the Padar ridge with other parties.

Next step: send the date from the calendar, the cabin kind you want and how many guests sleep in each cabin.
