East of Bali is the Indonesian Island of FLORES.  And just a stone's throw off the western tip of Flores lay the KOMODO ISLANDS, a UNESCO-protected World Heritage Site and home to the famed Komodo Dragon, the world's largest monitor lizard.

Whilst intrepid travellers and dragon chasers have been coming to the Komodo Islands since the 1980s, it wasn't until 2011, when Komodo National Park was named as one of the NEW SEVEN WONDERS OF NATURE, that the islands caught the attention of the world at large. 

Since that time, the port in Labuan Bajo (the Capital of Flores and gateway to the Komodo Islands) has filled with boats of every size and quality - many small and ramshackle, a few large and luxurious - as boat owners attempt to capitalise on the  growing demand for boat tours to the Komodos.

The IndoExcursions vessel is one of those few in the "large and luxurious" category.  Each and every month, our magnificent traditional Indonesian sailing vessel leaves the Labuan Bajo harbour with 8 IndoExcursions travellers, a private chef, and a full onboard staff. 

For 4 glorious days, we sail the azure waters of the Komodo Islands - an area boasting the greatest marine biodiversity on earth, 25 percent of the world’s coral reef, and 3,500 of the world’s 4,500 reef fish species. During our voyage, you may snorkel on pristine sandy white beaches in the hope of encountering dolphins, green turtles and giant mantarays; or explore the island coasts in search of Komodo Dragons; or, if you prefer, you may spend the entire 4 days relaxing in a lounge chair on deck with a margarita in hand.  All this, whilst enjoying world-class meals and accommodations on a truly luxurious sailing vessel. What's not to love?

On Day 5, upon returning from our 4-day cruise, we'll spend one final evening in Labuan Bajo, where we'll enjoy a lavish farewell dinner together and check into our resort for another night.
