A red-sailed phinisi under way

Two to three hours · Harbour bay

The short evening sailing

Out of the harbour around an hour before sunset, back after dark. The easiest thing to add to an arrival day.

Indicative as of 2026. A sunset cruise in the harbour bay does not enter Komodo National Park, so park and ranger fees do not apply — see the FAQ.

What comes with it

Four things included

Anything beyond this — a dinner, a photographer, a proposal setup — is arranged separately.

01

Vessel, crew and fuel

For the stated route and duration out of Labuan Bajo harbour.

02

Drinks and snacks

Drinking water and soft drinks, with light snacks or canapés on most boats.

03

Safety equipment

Life jackets and standard safety gear aboard.

04

The deck

Bow and upper deck, oriented for the sunset rather than for the harbour.

Before you ask

Six quick answers

What time do sunset cruises leave?

Roughly an hour before sunset, which moves through the year. Your confirmation carries the exact time for your date.

Do I need a national park permit?

Not for the harbour bay and the nearby islets, which is where these sail. A cruise that enters the park proper does need park and ranger fees.

Can children join?

Yes. Life jackets are aboard in child sizes; tell us ages at booking so the crew has the right ones ready.

What if the weather turns?

The captain decides. If it is called off you are moved to another evening or refunded — you are never sent out in weather that does not suit it.

Can you arrange a proposal or private dinner aboard?

Yes, on a private charter. That is a whole-boat booking with the crew briefed in advance.

How far ahead should I book?

A few days in shoulder season. In June to September and holiday weeks, as early as you can.

One date and a headcount is enough. We come back with what is sailing and what the private version costs.
