Is it Safe?

Absolutely. The Komodo Islands, where we operate, are a relatively sheltered island group with infrequent large swells, making them well-suited to sea kayaking. Our professional sea kayaks are sleek, extremely stable, and equipped with standard safety features for long touring paddling.

All of our sea kayak guides are certified and from the local area, with extensive experience kayaking and working in wild places, which ensures solid risk management and emergency care. At least one guide will always accompany you on the water, and depending on group size we maintain a low guest-to-guide ratio.

There can be challenging conditions and currents in some areas, but they are well known to our team and easily managed through careful route planning. We also have a support boat on the water and radio contact with the Park Rangers office for added safety measures.

What is Sea Kayaking like?

Sea-kayaking is an incredible way to explore our home, our seas. It’s an affordable and eco-friendly activity that doesn’t require extensive training or exceptional strength. It’s not just good for your body, but also nourishes your soul. Sea-kayaking can transport you beyond civilization and into the enchanting realm where earth, sea, and sky converge.

Is Kayaking In Komodo Challenging? Do I need to be in great shape to do this?

No prior experience is needed to get started. As long as you’re in good health, feel reasonably comfortable on the water, and have a sense of adventure, you’ll quickly master the basic skills required to paddle and steer your kayak under the guidance of our certified local sea kayak guides.

Our team provides a thorough introductory lesson at the start of the journey and stays close throughout to support, coach, and keep an eye on everyone’s safety and enjoyment. There can be challenging conditions and currents in some areas, but they are well known to our guides and are easily managed through careful route planning. We also have a support boat on the water and radio contact with the Park Rangers office for added safety measures on every trip.

What are the group sizes?

To minimise our impact and keep the experience personal, we cap each group at a maximum of 14 guests, with a minimum of 2 guides on every departure. Depending on the overall kayaking experience within the group, we may increase the number of guides to maintain a low guest-to-guide ratio and close on-water support.

Is there more to do than just Kayaking - will I get bored?

The list of activities is endless! You’ll have chances to snorkel in clear waters and explore beautiful coral reefs. We’ll stop at lovely beaches where you can relax or soak up some sun, bird-watch, you will get a chance for trekking and encounter wildlife, also interact with locals. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can take a refreshing swim when we anchor the boat. And don’t forget, our boats are spacious enough for you to chill out, read a book, or just enjoy the scenery between paddling sessions. Dine under the starry sky, share stories, witness breathtaking sunsets, strum guitars, gaze at the stars, and enjoy restful sleep. You’ll find an array of experiences to cherish!

Will we be camping?

No. Camping is not allowed inside Komodo National Park, and we strictly follow the regulations set by the park authority on this. Beyond the regulations, camping also carries higher risks related to fire, wildlife, and waste.

Instead, you will stay in comfort onboard our custom-built kayak support boat, which allows us to keep impact low while staying close to the best paddling locations.

I went on the day trip paddle to Bidadari Island. Waters were calm and beautiful. Guide was fantastic…..showed us where the nice snorkelling spots were. A simple but delicious packed lunch with a soft drink was provided. Komodo Kayaking definitely met my expectations.

We recently booked the 6-hour kayak tour and had a fantastic time!

We expected a typical group tour with open kayaks and a guaranteed sunburn—but it was anything but. To our surprise, we had a private guide just for the two of us. The kayaks were professional, with leg covers, storage compartments, and even foot-operated steering, which made paddling much easier and more enjoyable. We were also provided with technical shirts, hats, and plenty of drinks.

Our guide, Fendi (hope I’m spelling that right!), made the day even better. He was friendly and informative—he explained the gear, chatted with us, took photos, showed us around, and set up lunch for us.

We stopped at a quiet beach to eat and snorkel. All the gear was provided, and the reef was stunning—full of vibrant coral and colorful fish.

We paddled about 11 km in total—just enough to feel like a workout without being too tiring. The calm water and cloudy skies (with a bit of rain) made it all the more enjoyable. Honestly, I can’t imagine doing it under full sun!

Very beautiful kayak ride. The guides were fabulous for our 7 person family. Definitely recommend but beware it is a reasonably strenuous paddle to finish the 6 hour kayak. The snorkeling at the beach was very relaxing as well.

Cool kayak tour!
My colleague and I did a kayak tour with Jho and had a lot of fun! We went around several small islands and our guide made an effort. We highly recommend the tour.

I had a spare time to kill and decided to join them. It ended up a beautiful experience. I hardly had an experience of kayaking, but the friendly staff helped me to keep going on the blue ocean. If you love nature, and want to see the ocean from the sea level, not from the ship, I recommend this activity in Komodo.
