A 2D1N private whole-boat Komodo trip from Labuan Bajo typically runs about IDR 25,000,000-45,000,000 per boat for a small group of 1-4 guests as of 2026, with 5-8 guest vessels landing higher. That is the price for the entire boat and your party alone. Park, ranger, and sunset fees are billed separately per person in cash.
That number is an informed estimate, not a fixed rate card, so it is worth showing exactly how it is built.
Why is there no single fixed price for a 2D1N private boat?
Private boat hire in Komodo National Park is sold per boat by group-size tier, not per person. The boat price usually bundles fuel, crew, meals, drinking water, and snorkeling gear. What changes the total is how big your group is, which vessel class you charter, whether you travel in high or low season, and how many nights you sleep aboard.
Because operators publish verified rates for one-day private trips and 3-day-2-night private trips, but rarely list a clean standalone 2D1N figure, the honest way to price a two-day, one-night charter is to sit it between those two published anchors. Here is what the market actually shows.
What do verified day-trip and 3D2N private rates look like?
These are real published rates as of 2026, all priced per boat, subject to change:
| Trip type | Operator | Group size | Per-boat price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private 1-day (small speedboat) | Nerawela Tour & Travel | 1-4 people | IDR 7,000,000-9,000,000 |
| Private 1-day (medium speedboat) | Nerawela Tour & Travel | 5-10 people | IDR 9,000,000-12,000,000 |
| Private 1-day by speedboat | Viator | up to 4 (per group) | from about USD 990.36 |
| Private 3D2N | Green Rinjani | 1-4 persons | IDR 56,000,000 (about USD 3,478) |
| Private 3D2N | Green Rinjani | 5-8 persons | IDR 59,500,000 (about USD 3,695) |
| Private 3D2N | Green Rinjani | 9-11 persons | IDR 68,000,000 (about USD 4,223) |
One Viator traveler review cited a local private fast-boat costing 8.8 million IDR (about USD 593) for a day, which shows how wide the range runs depending on vessel and operator. Aggregator Click&Boat puts the average Komodo boat rental at roughly USD 1,023 per day, ranging from USD 154 to USD 2,478, with high-season days averaging about USD 2,462 and low-season days about USD 230. Motorboat charters there start near USD 700 per day; sailboats run USD 400-3,800 per day, both for up to 15 guests.
So what does one night actually add to a private Komodo boat?
The jump from a day trip to a multi-day charter is not linear, because overnights add real cost the operator has to cover: an overnight-capable vessel with cabins, a second full day of fuel and crew, and additional meals. Green Rinjani’s 1-4 person 3D2N sits at IDR 56,000,000 while a comparable premium day-boat is a fraction of that. Most of that gap is the two nights and the larger liveaboard-style vessel.
For a 2D1N you are paying for one night, not two, and roughly one and a half sailing days rather than three. That is why a 2D1N usually lands well below the 3D2N figure but clearly above a single day trip. If you want the operator’s confirmed [2d1n private boat cost](/komodo-2d1n-private-boat/) rather than an extrapolated band, the reservations team quotes it against your exact group size and departure date.
A practical way to read the spread for 1-4 guests as of 2026:
- Private day trip (1-4): roughly IDR 7,000,000-9,000,000 per boat
- Private 2D1N (1-4): roughly IDR 25,000,000-45,000,000 per boat (one night, overnight vessel)
- Private 3D2N (1-4): IDR 56,000,000 per boat (verified, Green Rinjani)
Larger groups shift each band upward. Green Rinjani’s 3D2N moves from IDR 56M (1-4) to IDR 59.5M (5-8) to IDR 68M (9-11), so a 2D1N follows the same tiered climb.
What extra costs sit on top of the boat price?
This is where many quotes surprise first-timers. Park-related charges are always separate from the boat, billed per person, and paid in cash IDR only. No credit cards are accepted at the park, so bring enough physical rupiah.
According to SeekSophie’s January 2026 update, foreigners and KITAS holders pay these Komodo National Park entrance fees:
| Traveler | 1-day trip | 3D2N trip |
|---|---|---|
| Foreigner / KITAS holder | IDR 250,000 | IDR 650,000 |
| Indonesian local | IDR 150,000 | IDR 350,000 |
Fees vary by island and activity: diving costs more, weekends cost more than weekdays, and individual island or activity fees stack on top. Operators itemize these differently. Green Rinjani’s 3D2N, for example, excludes a Komodo National Park entrance fee of IDR 650,000 per person plus a tentative Kalong Island sunset fee of IDR 250,000 per person. Viator’s day trip excludes a Komodo National Park entrance fee of IDR 500,000 per person and ranger fees for Padar and Komodo of IDR 360,000 per booking.
The takeaway: park charges differ by operator and itinerary, they are never inside the boat price, and a 2D1N sits between the 1-day and 3D2N fee levels for a single overnight. Budget a realistic per-person cash amount and confirm the exact line items when you book. Because fees are set by the Komodo National Park authorities and revised without notice, treat every figure here as as-of-2026 and subject to change.
What does a 2D1N private itinerary actually cover?
The strength of a whole-boat buyout is that the route is yours and there are no strangers aboard. A one-night private charter comfortably covers the marquee stops that day-trippers rush through. Standard named places reachable by private boat from Labuan Bajo include:
- Padar Island for the sunrise viewpoint trek
- Komodo Island and Rinca Island for the dragons
- Pink Beach and Taka Makassar sandbank
- Manta Point for snorkeling with manta rays
- Kanawa Island, Kelor Island, and Gili Lawa
- Kalong Island at dusk for the flying foxes
Komodo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site managed by Balai Taman Nasional Komodo under the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. An overnight lets you catch both a sunset and a dawn on the water, which a compressed day trip cannot.
When is the cheapest time to book a 2D1N private boat?
Season swings the boat price more than almost anything else. High season runs May to September: sunny, warm, calm seas, but peak crowds and peak prices. Low season, October to April, brings more rain and rougher seas but noticeably lower rates and fewer people. Click&Boat’s data captures this starkly, with high-season daily averages roughly ten times the low-season figure. If budget is your priority and you can accept variable weather, a shoulder date is your friend.
The honest bottom line
For a 2D1N private Komodo whole-boat charter in 2026, plan on roughly IDR 25,000,000-45,000,000 per boat for 1-4 guests, more for larger groups and premium overnight vessels, plus per-person park, ranger, and sunset fees paid in cash. That range is extrapolated from verified 2026 day-trip and 3D2N rates, not a locked quote. Prices shift with season, vessel, and fee changes at the park.
