Description

Boat

Bajak is a charming Indonesian phinisi-style liveaboard, built in 2015 with reclaimed ironwood and teak that gives her a warm, classic seafaring feel with a hint of pirate character. At 28 m in length and a beam of around 7–8 m, she offers spacious outdoor and shaded deck areas for relaxing between dives and enjoying the scenery of Komodo’s rugged islands and turquoise waters.

The boat operates primarily in Komodo National Park, providing access to some of Indonesia’s most world-renowned dive sites, from gentle coral gardens to exhilarating drift dives and manta cleaning stations. The deck features generous lounging spaces with beanbags and sun mattresses for socialising or soaking in the sun, while the shaded dive deck keeps your gear organised and comfortable throughout your trip.

Bajak’s cruising speed is moderate, suitable for the park’s distances, and she is partly powered by solar panels to support a quieter and more eco-friendly time onboard.

Itineraries

South Komodo - Padar & Manta Alley - 5D4N (15 dives)

Day 1
We start our adventure with a relaxing dive at Sebayur Kecil, where vibrant reefs and welcoming fish greet you in Komodo’s underwater wonderland. Next, we head to Mawan, a lovely sandy slope that often turns into a playground for graceful manta rays. Once the sun goes down, it's time to gear up for a night dive at Padar Kecil. It’s a completely different experience down there when the reef comes alive at night, imagine hunting lionfish, sleeping parrotfish, and glowing plankton.

Day 2
Kick off your day at Colleen Corner, a vibrant spot brimming with life and the perfect opportunity to catch a glimpse of passing pelagics. Next, we’re heading to one of Komodo’s must-see spots: Manta Alley! Enjoy the sight of mantas gracefully gliding above cleaning stations, often just inches away from your mask. After lunch, take a leisurely stroll along Loh Sera Ridge, a charming spot featuring stunning corals, impressive reef formations, and that delightful “hidden gem” vibe. And just when you think the day’s over, we dive again, a night dive at Loh Sera, where nudibranchs, octopus, and all things weird and wonderful come out to play.

Day 3
We're off to the south-central sites, beginning with The Needle, a beautiful pinnacle that's surrounded by swirling schools of fish and lovely soft coral gardens. Then glide along End of the Wall, where vertical drop-offs and sea fans create a picture-perfect scene at every turn. After a relaxing dive at Secret Garden, filled with macro critters and serene reef vibes, we’ll make our way to Padar Island for a lovely sunset hike.

Day 4
Starting the day with Komodo Island exploration alongside real Komodo dragons on their beautiful island. After that exciting land adventure, we dive right into the fun underwater. First stop: Batu Bolong, a magnificent reef teeming with life, sharks, turtles, anthias, you name it. Next, we head north to dive at Crystal Rock, known for its currents and exciting pelagic activity. If you enjoy thrilling drifts, The Cauldron (Shotgun) is coming up next! We’ll glide through a narrow channel, spotting batfish, and perhaps even some mantas along the way.

Day 5
We finish our adventure with two of North Komodo’s treasures. First, Castle Rock is where the excitement begins as soon as you arrive, schools of trevallies, hunting jacks, and the possibility of big surprises await you. Finally, we made one last dive at Tatawa Kecil, a laid-back, coral-filled reef where turtles gracefully swim by and soft corals dance in the current.


Komodo Highlights - 4D3N (12 dives)

Day 1
Your adventure kicks off with dives at Sebayur Kecil, a beautiful coral garden with gentle conditions just right for easing into the experience. Continue to Mawan, a lovely sloping reef where Manta Rays often glide gracefully over the sand. End your day with a night dive at Padar Kecil, a lovely dive spot perfect for discovering macro life, and enjoy a serene overnight stay near one of Komodo’s most famous islands.

Day 2
Begin your adventure at Colleen’s Corner, a lively reef filled with colorful anthias and the chance to spot exciting visitors like reef sharks or eagle rays. Then we move to the South part of Komodo, dive into the exciting Manta Alley. Next, Secret Garden provides a peaceful experience with a blend of gentle corals and fascinating little creatures tucked away in the reef. As the day comes to a close, take a hike to the top of Padar Island to experience one of Indonesia’s most memorable sunsets.

Day 3
Start your journey with an exciting land adventure as you explore Komodo Island to encounter the legendary Komodo dragons in their natural habitat. Afterward, explore Batu Bolong, a stunning pinnacle teeming with marine life, schools of trevallies, vibrant reef fish, and a coral garden that feels truly alive. Then, enjoy the stunning beauty of Crystal Rock, where colorful corals mingle with pelagic life in flowing currents. Wrap up with Golden Passage, an exciting drift dive between two islands filled with adventure, rays, sharks, and vibrant fish swimming alongside you in the current.

Day 4
Start your final day at Castle Rock, where the lively currents attract big schools of jacks, tuna, and sometimes even a grey reef shark! Then cruise through The Cauldron (Shotgun), one of Komodo’s most thrilling dives. Finally, have a great time exploring the more relaxed dive at Tatawa Kecil, where you can admire vibrant soft corals and flowing sea fans that adorn a reef frequently visited by turtles and barracudas.

Disembark at 3:30 PM, with hearts full, cameras ready, and memories to cherish.
