Itineraries 8 Days Labuan Bajo Charter Desk
8 Days 7 Nights
Past the park boundary, where the charters stop turning up.
Every Komodo highlight, then onward — Sangeang’s volcanic vents, the untouristed southern atolls, and current diving in the Sape Strait. Three to four dives a day, at a pace that still leaves beach time.

The short answer
What an eight-day charter reaches
All of Komodo National Park — dragons on both islands, Pink Beach, Padar, Manta Point, every premier dive site — plus Sangeang volcanic island, the remote southern atolls of Nusa Kode and Gili Motang, and advanced current diving in the Sape Strait.
Why this length
What the extra days open
The southern atolls
Nusa Kode and Gili Motang hold wild dragons in a completely untouristed setting, and walls with currents that pull in pelagics.
Sape Strait current diving
Advanced drift sites where nutrient upwellings bring grey reef sharks, mantas and the occasional hammerhead.

Before you commit
Four questions the desk gets weekly
What does the eight-day reach that six does not?
Sangeang volcanic island, the southern atolls of Nusa Kode and Gili Motang, and the Sape Strait. Those three are the reason to add the days — none of them fit a shorter charter.
How much does it cost?
From USD 5,300 per yacht per night for an entry-luxury phinisi taking six to ten guests — this is a seven-night itinerary — rising to USD 6,400 for a larger hull and USD 35,000 and beyond on the ultra-luxury flagships. Rates are per vessel, not per person, so the economics improve sharply with group size. The desk quotes the exact total against your dates and party.
How many dives a day?
Three to four, with the pace built to leave beach and surface time rather than filling every slot.
Do I need advanced certification?
For Castle Rock and the Sape Strait, yes. The rest of the route works at open-water level. Tell the desk your level and the dive plan is built around it.
Send the desk your dates
Seven nights, party size, and your certification level. The band comes back the same day and the vessel is named before you pay anything.
