Nox

Nox, formerly Maheswari, is a 30 m phinisi that sails 3-day, 2-night shared trips in Komodo National Park from Labuan Bajo. The operator renamed her in 2026. She has 8 cabins over three decks, all air-conditioned and all with a private bathroom, for up to 20 guests. Two Superior cabins are on the lower deck. The Signature cabins on the main deck and the Master cabins on the upper deck have a private balcony. Both take an extra bed.

The trip is about the islands and the water above the reef, not scuba. You snorkel at Manta Point, Taka Makassar and Mawan, climb to the Padar viewpoint and walk with a ranger among the Komodo dragons. There is beach time at Pink Beach and a last hike on Kelor Island. At Kalong Island you watch the flying foxes leave the mangroves at dusk. Mantas come and go with season and current, so the operator does not guarantee them.

The price covers your cabin, all meals, transfers in Labuan Bajo, snorkelling gear and a local guide. Park fees and flights are extra. You join a shared departure and book by the cabin. The dates, cabin prices and the day-by-day plan are listed below. You can also charter the whole boat for a private group.
