Komodo 4 days 3 nights by private charter: Gili Lawa, Siaba and a slow last morning on King Cirox 2

The first two days of the 4D3N look like a 3D2N with the pressure taken off. Day one runs from the pickup to Kelor's short climb, the long wooden pier at Manjarite and the bats at Kalong after sunset, watched from the deck.

Day two climbs Padar after breakfast, then lands on Komodo Island for the ranger walk among the dragons, then ends with a snorkel at Pink Beach. Three stops, not five. Manta Point and Taka Makassar are moved to day three, which gives day two a free late afternoon on board: the roof deck, the bow nets, a paddle in the canoe.

Because this is a charter, the day starts when you agree it does. The booklet prints no clock times for the 4D3N, so we set the pickup with you, around your flight, and confirm it in writing.

The nights are spent on board, at anchor or under way, depending on the weather and the captain's decision that day. Dinner is at the dining table each evening.

Day three is the one the shorter trips do not have. It opens with a trek on Gili Lawa, a hill at the northern edge of the park; on the 3D2N open trip it is the other half of the Padar pair, chosen at booking if the quota allows.

From Gili Lawa the boat runs to Manta Point for a drift snorkel along the reef, guided by the crew because the current can be strong. Lunch is on board. Then Taka Makassar, the crescent of sand that shows at low tide, and the two can trade places when the tide calls for it. The day closes at Siaba, the last stop before dinner.

The legs table below gives a range in minutes for each passage. Several of the day-three legs are our estimates, not published norms, as no cruising speed appears in the booklets.

Sturdy shoes and a hat for the trek, sunscreen for the reef. If you own fins, pack them; the boat's kit stops at mask and snorkel.

The 4D3N is priced per boat. On the current card, valid to the end of 2026, one to five guests pay IDR 58,500,000 (≈ USD 3,589), six to ten pay IDR 63,750,000 (≈ USD 3,911), eleven to fifteen pay IDR 68,000,000 (≈ USD 4,172), and each guest above fifteen adds IDR 3,000,000 (≈ USD 184), up to 23. The 2027 booklet, valid January to July 2027, prints IDR 61,500,000 (≈ USD 3,773) for the smallest band.

Against the 3D2N at IDR 47,500,000 (≈ USD 2,914), the fourth day costs the difference, for the whole group. Per head it shrinks quickly: twelve guests pay IDR 5,670,000 (≈ USD 348) each, a full boat of 23 pays IDR 4,000,000 (≈ USD 245) each.

The fare includes pickup, all meals, water, tea and coffee, masks and snorkels, the canoe, karaoke, Starlink Wi-Fi on board, and the cruise director, chef and crew. A local guide and photo and video documentation are not included on a charter of any length; both can be added on request at a separate price. Park entry adds IDR 250,000 a day for each foreign visitor, up to four days of it, plus rangers and levies.

Send your headcount and we return the sum, with the band, the extras and the park fees as separate lines.
