Explore the magical islands you will visit aboard Lalunia Phinisi. Each stop offers a unique adventure from pink beaches to dragon encounters.
KELOR ISLAND
Ancient sailors called it "The Guardian." Dutch colonials built watchtowers on its crown. Local legend says it's a giant sea turtle turned to stone. A 20-minute climb rewards you with 360° views of dragon territories. The coral gardens below hide patrolling sea turtles in crystal shallows.
MANJERITE
Every sunset, tens of thousands of flying foxes launch from mangroves, creating a black river across orange skies. Ancient sea nomads believed these bats carried souls to the afterlife. Watch from your deck at 17:30. The sky will erupt. You'll forget to breathe.
PADAR ISLAND
Three crescent bays—turquoise, cobalt, jade—curve around dragon-spine ridges. Legend says a dragon princess died here protecting her brothers. Her body became the ridgeline. Her tears became three seas. The 30-minute climb is ruthless, but every explorer says: "I can die now."
PINK BEACH
One of only seven pink beaches on Earth. Microscopic red coral creates a rose-gold blush. Sailors once feared it was cursed by dragon blood. The reef drops from knee-deep to 50 meters—turtles, reef sharks, and octopi patrol waters so clear you'll think you're dreaming.
KOMODO ISLAND
Ground zero. The throne. Komodo dragons—largest lizards on Earth, unchanged for 4 million years. They sprint 20 km/h, kill with venom-laced bites. Trek with armed rangers. Watch them sun like kings. Feel evolution stare back. This isn't a zoo. It's their Kingdom
TAKA MAKASSAR
A sandbar that emerges at low tide, then disappears beneath waves. Sea nomads called it "Ghost Island"—a resting place for ocean spirits. Stand in the middle of the ocean with ankle-deep water. Snorkel where the island vanishes. Your private Maldives, but only for 2 hours.
MANTA POINT
A submerged pinnacle where currents collide, creating a cleaning station for manta rays with 7-meter wingspans. Divers call them "Royal Stingrays"—reincarnated ocean kings. The taboo: look, never touch. Watch them barrel-roll beneath you. Swimming with mantas IS your bucket list.
GILI LAWA
Twin islands—Lawa Darat and Lawa Laut—frame the golden highway between sky and sea. Ancient traders navigated by these peaks. At sunrise, watch the world ignite from savannah ridges. At sunset, the sky bleeds into three shades of fire. The 30-minute trek is steep, but the 360° view makes kings jealous.
SLABA ISLAND
Slaba rises like a fortress from deep blue—a volcanic dome crowned with savannah where white-bellied sea eagles hunt. Bajo fishermen call it "Pulau Rajawali" (Eagle Island), believing the birds are guardians of hidden treasures below. Dive the walls where currents deliver big fish, sharks, and swirling barracuda. Above: eagles. Below: an underwater avalanche of life.
SEBAYUR ISLAND
Sebayur guards one of Komodo's best-kept secrets: untouched coral gardens teeming with life. While others chase dragons, divers chase legends here—pygmy seahorses, ghost pipefishes, and macro critters hiding in soft coral forests. The bay is a natural aquarium. The hillside trek offers sunrise views without the Padar crowds.
KANAWA ISLAND
While crowds chase Pink Beach, explorers slip to Kanawa—pristine coral reefs, zero crowds. Fishermen once avoided it, believing the Sea Goddess protected these waters. The reef here is 80% live coral. Turtles nest on beaches. Blacktip sharks patrol shallows. This is the Komodo nobody talks about.
SABOLO ISLAND (RANGKO CAVE)
Hidden in Sabolo's limestone cliffs lies Rangko Cave—a saltwater cavern illuminated by a ceiling skylight. Sunbeams pierce the darkness, turning water neon blue. Local legend says bathing here grants courage to face dragons. Swim through the entrance tunnel. Surface inside the cathedral. Float in liquid sapphire while light dances on ancient rock.
BIDADARI ISLAND
Bidadari" means angel in Indonesian. One glance explains why. Powdery white sand. Turquoise shallows. Zero crowds. Fishermen say angels rest here between monsoons, leaving footprints in the sand that waves erase by dawn. Snorkel the fringing reef where baby blacktips patrol. This is your castaway fantasy—pristine, peaceful, perfect.

As newlyweds, we chose Lalunia Phinisi for our honeymoon, and it was perfection. Bidadari Beach offered us privacy and powder-soft sand—our own Eden. The crew arranged a private beach dinner: lanterns, local lobster, and the sound of waves. Lalunia’s master suite felt like a floating boudoir, with French doors opening to the sea. We snorkeled at Taka Makassar, where coral reefs teemed with life. The only thing I’d improve? Slightly more cushioning on sun loungers. But honestly, we spent most days barefoot and blissful. Komodo’s drama—volcanic peaks, dragons, mantas—paired with Lalunia’s grace, made this more than a trip. It was poetry in motion.

임신 7개월 차, 셋째를 기다리며 남편과 Lalunia Phinisi로 5일간의 babymoon을 떠났어요. 아이들이 있으면 luxury trip이라 해도 tension이 남아있는데, 여기서는 진짜 쉴 수 있었어요. crew가 아이들을 위한 organic snacks를 미리 준비해두고, Kanawa Island에서는 조용한 북쪽 해변으로 우리만의 picnic setup을 해줘서 감동했어요. Bidadari Beach의 white sand는 마치 drone shot에서 본 것 같았고, shallow water라 아이들도 안전하게 놀 수 있었어요. master suite의 extra mattress도 요청 즉시 설치해줘서 가족에게 최적화된 공간이었어요. 단 하나, 인터넷 속도가 약해 서울에서의 예약 확인이 좀 어려웠지만, 그 덕분에 남편과 진짜 대화를 나눌 수 있었죠. 다음 생일엔 꼭 Long Beach에서 일출 요가를 해보고 싶어요. 아이 셋 엄마라 해본 적 없는 여유, 여기서 처음 느꼈어요.

Taking our two teenagers through Komodo on the Lalunia Phinisi was, in hindsight, inspired. At first they groaned about ‘no signal,’ but by day two, they were snorkeling at Crystal Rock with the guide, spotting pygmy seahorses and coral trout. The boat’s layout worked well—our family of four had a spacious cabin with twin beds convertible to king, and the common deck area became our evening hub, watching the sky dissolve into stars. We made a brief stop at Manjarite, where the rangers welcomed us with a quick briefing before the Komodo dragon sighting. One of our kids, usually glued to a screen, whispered, ‘They look like something from another epoch.’ That moment—unplugged, awe-struck—was worth the entire trip. The crew eased the kids into island etiquette gently, offering water and hats before hikes. Only slight hiccup: the tender could feel a touch slow when shuttling eight at once. But that’s a minor note in what was otherwise a seamlessly managed journey through one of the planet’s most dramatic marine parks.

Lalunia Phinisiを社のエグゼクティブリトリートで利用しましたが、これが想像以上に成功。Long Beachにアンカーを下ろした日の夕方、全員でビーチウォークしながらのブレインストーミングは、オフィスでは生まれないアイデアを生み出しました。Komodo Islandのトレイルは少しハードでしたが、達成感が半端じゃありません。船内はシンプルながら高級感があり、各cabinsのプライバシーもしっかり確保。食事は地元食材を活かしたコンテンポラリーなプレートで、毎回「これ何？」と聞きたくなるほど。一点、ミーティング用のプロジェクターがあれば完璧でしたが、自然の中でデジタルを忘れる時間も悪くない。次は家族で来たい。

Lalunia Phinisi exceeded every expectation. From the moment we stepped aboard in Labuan Bajo, the service was impeccable—coconut water with a lime wedge, cool cloths, no detail overlooked. Our dive at Manta Point was transcendent; the crew timed our entry perfectly with the current. Later, we unwound at Long Beach, sipping chilled sauvignon while watching the tide shift. The yacht’s 2017 build shows in its flawless systems and elegant lines. I appreciated the quiet luxury—no logos, just craftsmanship. One evening, Wi-Fi was spotty, but honestly, we barely noticed. This is a place to disconnect and be present. Lalunia doesn’t just sail Komodo; it interprets it—gracefully, humbly, brilliantly.

带两个孩子从新加坡飞过来，选择 Lalunia Phinisi 作为家庭度假确实是个 smart move。27米的船身在海上非常稳，孩子们几乎没晕船。我们是 family with kids 出行，船员特别贴心，提前准备了儿童拖鞋和小绘本，连泳圈都是新品牌。行程停靠了 Sebayur Island 和 Pink Beach，Sebayur 的浮潜点让8岁儿子兴奋到跳水，珊瑚群密集得像调色盘，甚至看到了小章鱼。Pink Beach 的沙滩粉得自然，不像滤镜堆出来的。Lalunia Phinisi 的 master suite 在顶层，视野开阔，晚上能看见银河。唯一的小遗憾是 wifi 信号断断续续，发个邮件要碰运气——不过这也让我们真正 disconnect 了。餐饮水准很高，中式早餐有粥和煎蛋角，西式 option 也丰富。孩子们最爱船尾的跳水台。如果下次来，希望 itinerary 能加一天，多去 Crystal Rock 拍个 drone shot。

Taking our two children (7 and 10) to Komodo in high season felt risky, but Lalunia Phinisi made it effortless. The crew had a gentle fluency with kids—snorkel games at Kanawa Island, storytelling at dusk. We anchored at Sebayur, where the coral was pristine and shallow enough for the younger one to float above clownfish without fear. The family cabin connected two rooms with a sliding door—practical and sound-insulated. Meals were flexible; they accommodated early dinners and even made a coconut-free version of curry when asked. One night, we watched bioluminescence from the bow, a moment the kids still reference. The only hiccup: limited charging ports in the lower deck, but they offered power banks without prompting. Lalunia doesn’t shout luxury; it lives it quietly. This wasn’t a cruise—it was a floating rhythm we adapted to, and still miss.

마흔 번째 생일을 기념해 친한 친구들과 Lalunia Phinisi를 예약했는데, 진짜 인생 여정이었어요. 특히 Gili Lawa에서 일출 트래킹은 숨이 멎는 듯했고, 그 후 Pink Beach에서의 스노클링은 색감이 마치 다른 행성 같았죠. 객실은 전부 master suite급이었고, 침구도 퀄리티가 높아 매일 아침 편안하게 눈을 떴어요. 승무원 팀이 정말 프로페셔널해서 특별한 날임을 몰랐을 리 없더군요. 케이크 서프라이즈도 준비해줘서 감동했어요. 단지 와이파이가 약한 건 어쩔 수 없는 부분이지만, 오히려 디지털 디톡스로 전환하긴 했어요. 하루 일정도 너무 빡빡하지 않아 여유로운 휴식과 액티비티가 잘 조화됐고, drone shot으로 찍은 Padar Island 전경은 인생 사진이 됐죠. 이 가격대에 이 정도 experience를 기대하기 어렵지만, Lalunia는 그 이상이었어요.

I joined Lalunia Phinisi on a spontaneous friends’ getaway, and it became the trip of a lifetime. The camaraderie among guests and crew was instant—dinners under the stars, stories traded over Komodo-aged rum. Long Beach dazzled us with its endless turquoise, perfect for lazy swims and laughter. At Manta Point, I swam alongside three gentle giants, a moment that still brings tears. Lalunia’s 27 meters feel intimate, not grandiose—every space designed for connection. The staff remembered how I took my coffee. That attention? Priceless. One night, the generator hummed a little too loudly, but it was quickly resolved. This isn’t just a boat; it’s a floating sanctuary where friendship deepens with every sunset.
