Ayana Cruises has unveiled its 2025 schedule for shared voyages aboard its luxury yacht, Ayana Lako di’a, offering travellers an extended experience exploring Komodo National Park.
Running from 18 April to 18 October, the new three-day, two-night itinerary provides a deeper journey into the region, complementing the popular two-day, one-night option introduced last year.
A luxury voyage on a modern phinisi
Ayana Lako di’a, the flagship of Ayana Cruises, is a modern phinisi inspired by the traditional wooden sailing ships of South Sulawesi, a cultural heritage recognised by UNESCO. The vessel features nine elegantly designed cabins, including a spacious 69-square-metre master suite with a private balcony and ocean-view bathtub, along with six luxury suites offering ensuite bathrooms and stunning sea views.
Guests can enjoy a variety of onboard amenities, including a lounge, bar, indoor dining area, and comfortable daybeds on the main deck, creating the perfect setting for relaxation between island explorations.
Discovering Komodo’s natural wonders
The new three-day, two-night itinerary offers an extended adventure through Komodo National Park, featuring exclusive stops in addition to the regular route. Highlights include:
- Kalong Island, where guests can witness a breathtaking sunset as thousands of fruit bats take flight
- Komodo Island for an up-close encounter with the legendary Komodo dragons
- Snorkelling at the famous Pink Beach
- A sunset hike on Padar Island, offering panoramic views of crescent-shaped beaches and lush green hills
Additional experiences exclusive to the extended voyage include exploring the pristine sand dunes of Taka Makassar, snorkelling at Manta Point—home to graceful manta rays—and unwinding on Mauwan Island.
A fully inclusive experience
Both itineraries offer full-board gourmet meals, free-flow mineral water and non-alcoholic beverages, and a wide range of activities such as snorkelling, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, yoga, and film screenings. Additional inclusions are transfers to and from Komodo International Airport, Komodo National Park entrance fees, and digital photo documentation to capture every unforgettable moment.
“Our new three-day, two-night itineraries reflect our commitment to delivering exceptional experiences that showcase the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Komodo National Park. We look forward to welcoming guests aboard for what promises to be an unforgettable voyage,” said Manik Sudarsana, hotel manager at Ayana Komodo Waecicu Beach.
