Your Departure Gateway

Komodo Trip from Labuan Bajo — Complete Departure Guide

Every Komodo trip begins in Labuan Bajo, the small Flores harbour town that is the gateway to the national park. Here is exactly how to get there, where to stay, and how your departure works — start to finish.

About Labuan Bajo

The Gateway to Komodo National Park

Labuan Bajo, on the western tip of Flores, is the launch point for every Komodo adventure. Its modern airport (LBJ) connects daily to Bali, Jakarta and beyond, and the harbour sits just minutes from town — so most trips depart within a short walk or transfer of your hotel.

All our trips include complimentary airport pickup timed to your flight. Whether you arrive the night before for a dawn departure or fly in the same morning, our team coordinates the logistics so your transition from runway to boat deck is seamless.

Fly from Bali

Direct flights from Denpasar (DPS) take ~1.5 hours, with multiple daily departures — the most popular route.

Multi-Day Sailing
