Komodo & Flores Expeditions are private, multi-day journeys created for you to explore this region more deeply. You travel at your own pace, without fixed routes or rigid schedules. Each expedition balances careful planning with the flexibility to respond to real conditions in the field.
Expeditions can begin from five days, which allows meaningful time inside Komodo National Park. Longer journeys of 10, 14, or even 21 days give you space to slow down, reach quieter islands, and explore lesser-known parts of Flores. These longer routes are ideal if you want to go beyond the highlights and spend more time in each place.
We plan every expedition in detail before you arrive, discussing routes, activities, and logistics together. At the same time, we leave room to adapt along the way. Weather, sea state, and park access guide daily decisions. When adjustments are needed, we make them for safety and comfort.
This way of traveling reflects who we are and how we work. If you’d like to understand why we design journeys this way, we invite you to read Our Story.
If you’re looking for a shorter introduction to the region, you may also want to explore our regular multi-day kayak trips and island journeys, which follow a similar philosophy on a smaller scale.
You can expect a journey that feels relaxed, well supported, and unhurried. Days flow naturally, guided by conditions and by how you feel, rather than strict timetables. Your guides help shape each day while keeping safety and comfort front of mind.
The expedition combines sea kayaking, boat-based travel, snorkeling, and time on land. Some days focus on movement and exploration, while others allow more time to pause, rest, or stay longer in one place. On longer expeditions, this flexibility becomes an important part of the experience.
Throughout the journey, your guides stay with you and focus on safety, local knowledge, and clear communication. With fewer schedules and more time, the experience feels grounded, personal, and closely connected to the places you travel through.
