Bali & Komodo Yacht Voyage with Rascal
Begin in Bali with time to unwind in complete privacy at Raffles Bali, before continuing east to Flores. From here, step aboard Rascal for a five-night journey through Komodo National Park, exploring remote islands, rich marine life and some of Indonesia’s most striking landscapes. End with a final night on Flores, allowing for a relaxed return to Bali.
Rascal voyages can be experienced either by private charter or by booking an individual cabin on a scheduled departure. This itinerary is based on a shared cabin voyage, with private charters available on request.
As with all our itineraries, this is simply a starting point. Speak to one of our travel consultants to tailor this into something entirely your own.
Day 1
Arrival in Bali
Upon arrival in Bali, you’ll be met and transferred just 20 minutes along the coast to Raffles Bali, set on a peaceful hillside overlooking Jimbaran Bay.
Check into your private pool villa, where indoor and outdoor living blend seamlessly. The rest of the day is yours to settle in, perhaps with a swim in your villa pool or dinner overlooking the ocean.
Day 2
AT LEISURE IN JIMBARAN BAY
Spend the day at leisure enjoying the resort.
You might begin with a guided wellness session, from sound healing to yoga, or take a walk through the expansive gardens, home to a wide variety of native plant species. Later, unwind at the beachfront restaurant or enjoy a relaxed afternoon tea at The Writers Bar.
Day 3
BALI AT YOUR OWN PACE
Another day to enjoy Bali at your own pace.
For those wishing to explore further, helicopter transfers can be arranged to reach Ubud or Bali’s volcanic landscapes with ease. Alternatively, stay close to the resort and enjoy a private dining experience, perhaps in the naturally formed Secret Cave.
Day 4
FLY TO FLORES
After breakfast, transfer to the airport for your flight to Labuan Bajo on the island of Flores.
On arrival, you’ll be met and transferred to Ta’aktana, a relaxed beachfront resort. Spend the afternoon unwinding by the water or preparing for the days ahead.
Day 5
BOARD RASCAL & SET SAIL
This morning, board Rascal and begin your five-night voyage through Komodo National Park.
As you set sail, the pace shifts immediately. Spend the afternoon swimming, snorkelling or simply relaxing on deck as the islands drift by. The crew will take care of every detail, allowing you to settle into life at sea.
Day 6
KOMODO DRAGONS & CORAL REEFS
Wake to a new island landscape and a day of exploration.
Step ashore to walk in search of Komodo dragons with your guide, or head out onto the water to snorkel among coral reefs teeming with marine life. There is complete flexibility — from kayaking and paddleboarding to simply enjoying the stillness of a remote bay.
Day 7
MANTA RAYS & ISLAND VIEWS
Continue your journey through the archipelago.
Swim with manta rays, walk along pale pink beaches, or hike to panoramic viewpoints across the islands. Evenings are often spent on shore, with the crew setting up a simple beach dinner under the stars — one of the most memorable moments of the voyage.
Day 8
HIDDEN BAYS & TIME AT SEA
Another full day to explore at your own pace.
You might visit quieter corners of the park, snorkel in calm lagoons or simply enjoy time on board, with long lunches and unhurried afternoons on deck as you move between islands.
Day 9
FINAL DAY ON THE WATER
Your final full day on board.
Make the most of your surroundings with one last swim, snorkel or island walk, or simply enjoy the rhythm of life at sea as your journey through Komodo draws to a close.
Day 10
RETURN TO FLORES
Disembark and transfer back to Ta’aktana for your final night.
After several days at sea, it’s a gentle re-entry, with time to relax by the beach or enjoy a quiet dinner.
Day 11
DEPARTURE
Transfer to the airport for your flight back to Bali and onward journey home, or continue your travels elsewhere in Indonesia.
- Spend time in a private pool villa overlooking Jimbaran Bay
