Why a Padar Island private tour suits the climb
A Padar Island private tour matters most on the ridge. The lookout is about 30 minutes uphill, and the park lets hikers onto Padar in three windows: 05:00 to 08:00, 08:00 to 11:00 and 15:00 to 18:00 WITA.
The crossing from Labuan Bajo takes about 1 to 2 hours by speedboat, depending on the boat and the sea. A private speedboat day leaves from your hotel and fits one long day.

Check availability →Private Padar and Komodo tours from Labuan Bajo
One private speedboat day, a 2-day private boat trip and a 3-day trip with hotel nights, with current prices and availability.
Private speedboat day: the quick option
The private day tour by speedboat starts with a pickup at your hotel in Labuan Bajo and ends with the drop-off there. It includes the speedboat, a guide, snorkelling gear, a lunch box, bottled water and soft drinks, coffee or tea, and snacks with seasonal fruit. Padar is on the route, so the climb to the lookout fits into the same day.
At 392 USD per person it is the choice if you want the boat to yourselves for a single day. Park entry and tips are extra. It suits couples, families and friends who want Padar without a night on board.
Two nights, a hotel and a private speedboat day
The 3-day private speedboat tour with hotel starts at Komodo Airport. It includes private airport transfers in an air-conditioned vehicle, two nights in a 3 to 4 star hotel in Labuan Bajo with breakfast and a half-day guided trip to Batu Cermin and Rangko Cave. The boat day is a full-day private speedboat charter with no shared guests, with snorkelling gear and lunch.
All Komodo National Park entrance and guide fees are included, which is the main difference from the day tour. At 1,450 USD per person it replaces the separate hotel, the airport transfer and the park fee. It suits first-time visitors who want one booking from landing to departure.
A private boat for two days
The 2-day private boat trip is a private charter for your group, with a master bedroom on board, four meals, free-flow water, coffee and tea, and an onboard chef and crew. Snorkelling equipment is on all boats, and diving equipment is on the boat named Zada Nara. The boat also has Wi-Fi via Telkomsel, subject to network coverage, and a karaoke sound system.
Boarding is at the KP 3 harbour in Labuan Bajo. Flights, hotel nights, park fees, crew tips and photography are not part of the price of 1,604 USD per person. It is the option for friends who want to sleep on the water and keep the boat to themselves.
Private or small group?
The small-group alternative is a six-stop boat tour from Labuan Bajo for 108 USD per person. That is about a quarter of the private speedboat day, so a small group is the better pick if you are happy to share the boat and the price matters most.
For the shared day trips, the routes and what the park fee covers, see the Komodo tours page. Prices on this page are from November 2026.
