About Lamborajo II
If you're looking to balance space, comfort and authentic Komodo exploration without the larger group feel, Lamborajo II fits just right. At 32 metres with only three cabins and space for up to six guests in cabins plus day charters up to 25, it’s built for those who want personal service without sacrificing social flexibility. You’ll find the Royal Master Cabin positioned forward for quiet, while the Family Ocean View and Superior Cabins offer steady access to the main deck — ideal if you're moving between snorkeling gear prep and shaded lounging. This isn’t a megayacht with endless decks, but a focused craft where your time is spent in the water or watching sunset over a glass of local coffee, not navigating corridors.
Your days follow a rhythm shaped by tides and light. On Day 1, you’ll likely arrive in Labuan Bajo by midday, settle into your cabin by 13:00, then cruise to Kelor Island by 15:30. The short hike to the ridge gives your first panoramic view — green hills dropping into split-tone water. After sunset cocktails on deck, dinner is served under stars, often with the sound of geckos from the shore. If the breeze holds, the crew may anchor near Sebayur that night for a calm start to Day 2.
That next morning, you’ll wake before dawn for Padar Island. The 05:30 trek up the switchbacks means you’ll have the summit ridge mostly to yourself as the sun hits the three-bay panorama. By 08:30, you're snorkeling off Komodo Island’s sandy launch point, where current brings reef sharks through the blue. After lunch and a dry-off, the afternoon splits between the pink sands of Pink Beach — where you can wade in shallow coral gardens — and Manta Point, where even basic snorkellers often see multiple mantas circling the cleaning station. As the light flattens, the boat drifts near Kalong Island, where thousands of fruit bats stream from the mangroves at dusk — a reliable highlight, no matter how many islands you've seen.
The final day starts early again, aiming for Taka Makassar by 07:00. When conditions align, this sandbar emerges like a mirage, ringed by water so shallow and clear you can lie face down and feel suspended above coral. It’s a favourite for photos, but also for quiet — the boat stays a respectful distance, so the only sound is your own breath. After a final swim and light breakfast, you’ll move to Kanawa Island, where the mooring buoys are close to vertical walls and clownfish anemones. Disembarkation in Labuan Bajo is by 12:00, giving you flight connections or time to explore the town’s waterfront market.
This 3D2N itinerary works best between April and November, when swells are lower and visibility peaks. Between December and March, crossings can be rougher, but the boat’s steel hull handles chop better than smaller vessels. With only three cabins, availability tightens fast during peak season — especially for family groups booking the Ocean View room, which sleeps four. If you're diving, note that Lamborajo II supports snorkellers and certified divers but doesn’t carry full dive gear onboard; you’ll need to rent or bring your own. Still, for a relaxed pace, solid food, and time in places like Manta Point without a crowd, it remains a smart Komodo choice.
