Komodo route stops, seen from a private yacht
Updated 27 October 2026
Seven stops carry pages here: Kelor, Kalong, Padar, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Taka Makassar and Manta Point. Kelor and Kalong fall on day 1 of a 2D1N or 3D2N, Padar to Taka Makassar on day 2, Manta Point on day 2 of the 3D2N. The captain sets the order on the day.
The stops by day on the two-day and three-day routes
On the 2D1N, day 1 runs Kelor, Menjerite Point (also spelled Manjarite) and Kalong at sunset. Day 2 runs Padar, Pink Beach, Komodo Island and Taka Makassar, and the yacht is back in Labuan Bajo that day.
The 3D2N keeps day 1 and adds Manta Point to day 2 and Sebayur Island on day 3. The 1D route has three stops only: Padar, Pink Beach and Komodo Island.
Menjerite Point has no page of its own. It sits inside the Kelor entry, because the two share the first afternoon. Both yachts sail these routes, and each length is shown in full on the 2D1N and 3D2N pages.
Matching each stop to the hour you reach it
Think of the stops by the hour they suit. Kalong belongs to dusk. Padar belongs to first light. Pink Beach is the swim, and Komodo Island is the walk with rangers.
Taka Makassar is a sandbar visit timed to the tide, and Manta Point is a snorkel timed to the current. Kelor is the short first walk that starts the route. A principal who cares about light should note that Kalong and Padar are the two stops tied to a clock hour, sunset and sunrise.
None of this is a timetable. The yacht is private, but the park and the sea are not.
The two stops the current can swap
Tide and current decide whether Manta Point or Taka Makassar comes first. Sightings at Manta Point depend on tide and current, and the sandbar at Taka Makassar shows only at low tide, so the two are fitted to the water on the day.
The captain sets the order of the stops on the day, because weather and current decide.
On a private charter nobody else is waiting for the yacht, so a swap costs the party nothing but a change in the order.
Anchorages named only on the longer routes
Six more places appear on the routes without pages of their own. Gili Lawa Darat is on day 2 of the 4D3N only. Siaba Besar and Mawan Island are on day 3 of the 4D3N. Sebayur Island closes the 3D2N on day 3 and the 4D3N on day 4.
Rinca and Kanawa belong to Voyage 2. Voyage 2's 4D3N and open trip stop at Rinca on day 1; Voyage 1 stops at Menjerite Point. The open trip ends at Sebayur or Kanawa.
Ask for the route of the yacht you hire, and the quote lists its stops.
FAQ
How many stops are on a 3D2N?
Nine: three on day 1 (Kelor, Menjerite Point, Kalong), five on day 2 (Padar, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Taka Makassar, Manta Point) and one on day 3 (Sebayur Island). The captain can change the order with weather and current, so read the sequence as a plan.
Which stop is the dragon stop?
Komodo Island, on the private 1D, 2D1N and 3D2N routes of both yachts. Voyage 2's open trip stops at Rinca on day 1 instead. Rangers lead every walk, and the dragons are wild, so a sighting is never promised.
Does the captain choose the order of the stops?
Yes, on the day, by weather and current. Kalong stays the day 1 sunset stop, and tide and current decide whether Manta Point or Taka Makassar comes first.
