Day 1:
The crew will transfer our guests from Labuan Bajo airport to the ship. After a welcome briefing by the cruise director, our guests move into their cabins before departure. If possible, a first dive will take place.

Day 2:
We offer 3-4 dives daily, including a dusk or night dive if possible. We plan every trip according to local conditions, and each trip is unique. We take into account tidal movements, weather, waves, visibility, and seasonal conditions. Most importantly, we try to avoid a majority of other tour operators and now crowded “instafamous” sites to lose the crowds!

We will always find the time to trek with the Komodo dragons on either Rinca or Komodo Island, as well as visit a secluded beach or two as we travel. Often we also either make treks for sunrise or sunset views over the islands or make a sunset sail if these trekking locations are inaccessible or crowded.

There are still unexplored beaches and places to watch the sunset or sunrise in peace and tranquility. We are also constantly exploring the islands to find new dive and snorkel sites.

Day 3:
Return to harbour around 4pm.

Sample itineraries are for guidance only. Actual itineraries may differ slightly due to factors such as weather, wildlife, logistics and local regulations.

Vessel information

Based year round in the Komodo National Park, Wunderpus liveaboard is run by a passionate, eco-conscious operator that offers bespoke itineraries throughout the region. Ideal for both divers and snorkelers who prefer to lose the crowds, Wunderpus creates unique itineraries based on years of local exploration. Each trip has a different itinerary making every voyage entirely unique. As well as visiting many of Komodo’s most famous dive sites, guests are also sure to explore several new and secret dive spots, unknown by almost anyone else.

Wunderpus operates two wooden phinisi vessels and offers a range of trips to suit all travellers, from scheduled itineraries to private charters. Both vessels keep guest numbers incredibly low, providing extra relaxation space and highly personalised service. Boasting immense passion for diving, and the national park itself, Wunderpus are dedicated to offering guests the adventure of a lifetime and a safe, sustainable option for exploring Komodo.

Onboard the Wunderpus

Built in 2014, the Wunderpus liveaboard is a traditional Indonesian phinisi, offering luxury, comfort and style. This 25-meter vessel accommodates just eight guests, providing maximum space, comfort and personal attention. The vessel’s two double cabins and two double-twin cabins are each fitted with air-conditioning and fans, as well as an en-suite bathroom with hot water. 100% biodegradable reef-safe shampoo and soap are also provided. Four delicious meals are served every day, combining a variety of Indonesian, Asian and European specialities, as well as plenty of fresh fruit and salad. Weather permitting, meals are enjoyed alfresco offering wonderful views of the scenery or stars. With limited guests onboard, the Wunderpus features lots of relaxation space, including two upper decks equipped with shaded and non-shaded areas and comfortable sunbeds.

Diving from Wunderpus

The Wunderpus’s dive equipment is regularly serviced and comes from reputable brands such as Mares, Aqua Lung and Apeks. All dive staff onboard have thousands of dives in Komodo under their belts, ensuring safe and professional service underwater. Dive sites are chosen based on diver experience and groups are kept small, with just four guests per dive guide. The Wunderpus also offers a range of PADI courses, from beginner to advanced, and including a range of specialities.

The team at Wunderpus have over 10-years of local diving experience and create bespoke, multi-day trips showcasing the very best of Komodo National Park. Every trip onboard Wunderpus is planned according to local conditions, considering tidal movements, weather, waves, visibility, and seasonal conditions. Itineraries also try to avoid other tour operators and crowded dive sites. Trips always include treks with the Komodo dragons on either Rinca or Komodo Island, as well as a visit to a secluded beach or two. The Wunderpus crew are constantly searching for new places to watch the sunset or sunrise in peace and tranquillity as well as unexplored dive sites.
