The best thing about kayaking in Komodo National Park is that it rewards steady effort rather than peak performance. 

This trip is suited to travelers with moderate fitness who are comfortable spending several hours a day paddling at a relaxed pace. Some kayaking experience is required. Snorkeling and short walks ashore are optional, and there is time each day to rest on board. As long as you’re generally active and enjoy being on the water, you’ll be well prepared for this adventure.

The liveaboard is fully equipped for scuba diving, with a divemaster, rental gear, and two dive tenders on board. Divers must hold PADI Advanced Open Water certification, have at least 50 logged dives, and carry dive-specific insurance, as conditions around Komodo can include strong currents.

Diving is optional and available at an additional cost, please let us know before booking if it’s something you’d wish to do.
