Itinerary

  1. Labuan Bajo

    20 min

    Starting early in the morning from Labuan Bajo, we’ll pick you up directly from your hotel and take you to the harbor, where your adventure begins. From the jetty, you'll board a comfortable speed boat and head off to explore the natural wonders of Komodo National Park — with fewer crowds and more time to enjoy each destination.

  2. Padar Island

    2 hours Admission not included

    Trekking on Padar Island is one of the highlights of any Komodo tour. After a short hike up the island’s rugged trail, you’ll be rewarded with one of the most iconic views in Indonesia — a stunning panorama of three curved bays with beaches in different colors: white, black, and pink.

    The trek takes about 20–30 minutes and is manageable for most fitness levels, especially with short breaks along the way. Sunrise or early morning is the best time to go, with cooler temperatures and soft golden light perfect for photos.

    Don’t forget your camera — this is one view you’ll want to remember!

  3. Pink Beach

    one hour Admission included

    Pink Beach isn’t just beautiful on the surface — the underwater world here is just as stunning. With clear, calm waters and vibrant coral gardens, it’s the perfect spot for snorkeling. You’ll swim among colorful reef fish, soft corals, and maybe even spot a turtle or two if you’re lucky. The pink sand, created by crushed red coral mixed with white sand, makes it a picture-perfect stop both above and below the water.

  4. Komodo Island

    2 hours Admission not included

    Trekking to see Komodo Dragon

    Get ready for a once-in-a-lifetime experience as you trek through the wild landscapes of Komodo or Rinca Island in search of the legendary Komodo dragons. Guided by local rangers, you’ll walk along marked trails while learning about the dragons’ behavior, habitat, and role in the ecosystem. Spotting one of these ancient creatures in their natural environment is both thrilling and unforgettable — a true highlight of your Komodo adventure. After the trek, we’ll enjoy a simple but delicious lunch, offering a chance to relax and refuel before continuing the day’s adventure!

  5. Taka Makassar Island

    one hour Admission included

    Taka Makasar is a stunning sandbank surrounded by shallow, crystal-clear waters — perfect for a relaxing swim or snorkeling. The area is known for its gentle currents, soft white sand, and beautiful coral patches where you can spot colorful reef fish and sometimes even manta rays nearby. It’s a peaceful stop where you can float, snorkel, and enjoy the beauty of Komodo’s underwater world.

  6. Manta Point

    one hour Admission included

    One of the most unforgettable moments of the trip — swimming alongside majestic manta rays! At spots like Manta Point, you’ll have the chance to snorkel in clear waters where these gentle giants often glide gracefully just below the surface. It’s a magical experience to see them up close in their natural habitat. Don’t worry — mantas are completely harmless, and our guides will help you spot them safely and respectfully.

  7. Stop 7

    one hour

    Siaba Island, also known as "Turtle Point," is a prime location for snorkeling and swimming, especially for those eager to see sea turtles in their natural habitat. The underwater ecosystem around Siaba is teeming with marine life, including colorful fish, stunning coral reefs, and, of course, the graceful sea turtles that frequent the area. The island’s waters are calm and clear, providing excellent visibility for snorkeling, and the peaceful environment makes it a perfect place to swim and relax.

    Activities: Snorkeling, Swimming, Turtle Watching

    Highlight: Abundant marine life, sea turtles, and vibrant coral gardens
