A private, couples-only day from Labuan Bajo: your own boat, a quiet stretch of white sand, the house reef to swim, and — if you want them — a sunset dinner on the beach and a photographer who knows where the light falls.
The package is built around privacy. Unlike a shared boat, nothing about the day is negotiated with strangers — departure time, how long you stay in the water, and when you leave the beach are all your call.
Private speedboat transfer from Labuan Bajo and back, yours for the whole day.
Most couples leave between 08:00 and 09:30. A late start for a sunset-weighted day works too.
Captain and assistant handle anchoring, gear and timing, so neither of you manages logistics.
Snorkelling gear for two, water, fresh fruit and snacks on board. Lunch confirmed when you book.
Not included by default: alcoholic drinks, national park fees if you extend into park waters, and any island facility charges. These are stated on your quote rather than discovered on the day.
Adjusted to the couple, always. A typical structure as of 2026:
Neither is required, and the core day stands on its own without them.
Needs 3–5 days’ notice
A private table set on the sand, simple decor, lanterns, and a set menu confirmed in advance. Subject to island management approval and weather — when a sand setup is not workable Komodo Luxury proposes dinner on the boat rather than cancelling the evening.
Golden hour or half day
A photographer joins the boat and delivers an edited digital gallery afterwards — the ridge viewpoint, the sandbar, candid frames on the beach. If photography is the point of the trip rather than an extra, the dedicated photography charter is built around light from the start.
Proposals and vow renewals sit alongside these: flowers, a cake, or a discreetly briefed crew. Tell Komodo Luxury the plan on WhatsApp and the crew works around it.
Indicative rates as of 2026, per couple.
Quoted per booking. Indicative only. Final pricing depends on season, vessel, requests, fuel and current island and park fee schedules. Kanawa itself sits outside the main Komodo National Park ticketing area as of 2026, but any extension into park waters adds official fees — the exact current total is confirmed in your written quote before you commit.
| Charter type | Detail | Indicative rate |
|---|---|---|
| Private honeymoon day | The core package | Ask for pricing |
| Sunset beach dinner | Add-on | Quoted per booking |
| Photographer | Golden hour to half day | Quoted per booking |
| Park extension | Fuel and park fees | Quoted per route |
Your dates, and any add-ons — dinner, photographer, proposal.
Boat, inclusions, add-on prices and total, usually within a few hours.
Dinner and photographer slots are only locked once confirmed.
Weather check and your exact harbour meeting point.
That is genuinely the whole of your job on the day.
The questions couples send before locking a date.
For most couples based in Labuan Bajo, yes. The island is small, the reef starts a short wade off the beach, and a full private day covers swimming, the viewpoint and sunset without rushing. If you want to wake up on the island, the stay desk covers current overnight options, which change season to season.
Yes. The private boat can route via the park highlights before or after Kanawa. That adds park fees and fuel, so tell Komodo Luxury and both versions are quoted side by side.
Safety decisions sit with the captain. If conditions prevent departure the first move is to reschedule to the next available day; where that is impossible the cancellation terms on your booking confirmation apply. Beach dinners move on board or reschedule when wind or rain makes a sand setup unworkable.
Regularly. Brief Komodo Luxury privately on WhatsApp and the crew and photographer are informed while your partner is not. Rings stay with whomever you nominate until the moment.
Send your dates and whatever the day should include — dinner, photographer, proposal, or simply a quiet island and nobody else’s schedule. You get a clear written quote before you commit to anything.
Plan the Day with Komodo LuxuryThe plan on this page is a same-day Kanawa Island honeymoon package from Labuan Bajo, built around a private boat and a long unhurried day on the island. If you want a “kanawa island 2d1n honeymoon package” or any Kanawa Island honeymoon stay, you need to confirm first with an operator whether the bungalows are actually open and usable on your dates, then build a custom itinerary around that.
Yes. This day is a Kanawa Island private boat charter honeymoon by default: just you, your partner, and crew. You choose departure time from Labuan Bajo, how long you snorkel the house reef, and whether you stay through sunset. There is no shared-boat version of this exact format; shared boats follow fixed routes and timings.
This page describes a fast, private speedboat there and back in a single day. A phinisi honeymoon package usually means sleeping aboard a wooden sailing boat and combining Kanawa with Padar, Komodo or Rinca over several days. For that style of trip, look at multi‑day luxury phinisi charters in Komodo and include Kanawa as one of the swim stops.
Lunch is confirmed when you book. Some operators include it in a “kanawa island day trip package price including lunch”; others quote boat, crew and fuel, then add catering as a separate line. Because prices shift with fuel and season, you will always receive a written quote that spells out what food is included and what, if anything, you should bring.
You can. Kanawa itself sits just outside the park boundary and usually avoids park entrance fees. Once you add Padar, Rinca, Komodo Island or Manta Point, it becomes a wider Kanawa Island Komodo National Park snorkeling package and park fees start to apply per day per person. Komodo Luxury will route the boat and show park tickets separately on your quote so there are no surprises.
The “Professional photographer” add‑on is essentially a compact Kanawa Island honeymoon photography tour folded into your day. A local photographer joins for golden hour or half a day, focuses on the ridge viewpoint, the shoreline, and quieter beach spots, then delivers an edited digital gallery afterwards. If you want a photo‑led multi‑island trip, the dedicated photography charters out of Labuan Bajo are a better base.
This specific honeymoon day is built around snorkeling and beach time. If you want a Kanawa Island diving package price with local operator support, you normally work through a Labuan Bajo dive centre: they quote per diver and per tank, and confirm whether they are diving Kanawa on your dates. Your honeymoon boat can be timed around their schedule, but dive logistics themselves sit with the dive shop.
It is possible to combine a Kanawa Island honeymoon stay, when the bungalows are operational, with a wider loop through the park on a private boat. In that case Kanawa becomes one night within a longer private Komodo trip, with the vessel meeting you offshore for a transfer from the beach. Operators such as those offering private Komodo trips can stitch this together if the resort side is actually accepting guests.
Most couples depart between 08:00 and 09:30, which gives better light over the house reef and a full day before any sunset add‑ons. A late‑start, sunset‑weighted trip is workable if you are comfortable returning after dark; the captain will check forecast, wind and swell before committing. Final departure time is agreed the day before when you reconfirm with Komodo Luxury.
Do not rely on the island for basics. The boat carries drinking water and light snacks, and many couples bring extra from Labuan Bajo. Small warung‑style kiosks on Kanawa open and close without notice, and island infrastructure is patchy. If you are wondering “can you buy drinking water and snacks on Kanawa Island?”, the safest approach is to assume no, and pack what you need.
To turn this outline into an actual date on the water, message Komodo Luxury on WhatsApp at +62 811-3823-875 or email sales@komodoluxury.com with your preferred month, number of days and whether Kanawa is your only focus or part of a longer route. If you end up wanting a broader cruise, they can also suggest suitable Komodo honeymoon cruises or upgrade you into one of the smaller VIP boat charters and keep Kanawa as your quiet day in the middle.
