Explore UNSESCO World Heritage Site - Komodo National Park:

Komodo Freediving Liveaboard Adventure

5 days / 4 Nights

16th - 20th October 2024

from $2,600 AUD per person

Join us as we explore UNESCO World Heritage Site, Komodo National Park on our own private boat, island hopping and diving in some of the world’s most pristine and abundant dive sites. Komodo National Park is an Indonesian Archapeligo located between Sumbawa and Flores. As a global conservation area, Komodo is home to unparalleled marine ecosystems and coral-rich blue waters framed by rugged hillsides, tropical forests and brilliant white (and pink!) sand beaches. Existing nowhere else in the world, it is also home to the largest living species of lizard - the Komodo Dragon. Komodo National Park offers some of the best diving in the world, as well as unique hiking experiences.

October is one of the best times to visit Komodo, with calm and clear, 28 degree ocean conditions and high chances of swimming with manta rays. The coral reefs fringing the coast of Komodo are diverse and luxuriant due to the clear water, intense sunlight and rapid exchange of nutrient-rich water from deeper areas of the archipelago, which attracts a huge variety of marine life including turtles, whales, dolphins and even dugongs! Visibility is regularly 30m+ and the islands often provide shelter from swell and current, making it the perfect place to learn to freedive, or continue your freediving journey.

Komodo is as stunning on dry land as it is underwater, and we'll be taking full advantage of this fact by embarking on a number of (optional) hikes on the islands. Here, you will have the chance to see Komodo dragons in their natural habitat. These hikes offer panoramic island views of Komodo National Park from their elevated vantage points.

“The Komodo trip with Rosie was one of the best trips we have ever done! All the instructors were so knowledgeable and we got so much one on one time to do our free diving course. The boat and its crew were amazing and the food was next level. I will be recommending this trip to everyone in the future!”
