Jinggo Janggo

Jinggo Janggo is a traditional wooden phinisi boat built by skilled craftsmen in Bira, South Sulawesi, one of Indonesia’s most well-known boatbuilding regions. Inspired by centuries-old Bugis-Makassar design, these boats have been sailing Indonesian waters since the 15th century. She was built in 2007 in Tanah Beru and fully renovated in 2023. She runs Komodo National Park as a private cruise.

The boat takes families and small groups of up to 5 guests, and the cruise director builds the itinerary with them: the Padar Island trek, the Komodo dragons, the pink sand beaches, and dive sites with manta rays, reef sharks and turtles.

The Cabins

There are two double cabins, one of which takes an additional single bed, so the boat sleeps up to five. Bathrooms are shared. On deck there is lounging space, a dedicated dive area and a dining area where meals are served. Guests can also sleep out on deck.

The Cruise Director and dive team organize two dives daily, tailored to your experience level. Early morning dives before breakfast are standard. Night dives available on request. Schedules adjust for tides and weather.

Paddling & Snorkeling

Exploration & Trekking

The terrain ranges from valleys to rocky ridges, with walks from 30 minutes to a full day. Wildlife includes Komodo dragons, monitor lizards and birds found only here.
