The Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located east of Bali, just an hour’s flight away, near the island of Flores. It includes two main islands - Komodo and Rinca - as well as 27 smaller islands, spread across a marine area of approximately 1,750 square kilometers. No trip to Komodo would be complete without a hike to see one or more of the famous Komodo dragons, the largest lizards in the animal kingdom. Their habitat is a mix of monsoon forest and open savannah, which they share with buffalos, deer, and a wide variety of birds. The underwater world is just as spectacular as the landscapes above water. This region is one of the richest ecosystems on Earth, forming part of the Coral Triangle. Whether you are a diver or a snorkeler, you will be captivated by the kaleidoscopic beauty of these tropical coral reefs. Add a few stops on idyllic beaches and a visit to a welcoming village, and you have a cruise you won’t soon forget.
Upon arrival at Labuan Bajo Airport, we will immediately transfer you to the harbor, where the vessel awaits. Once aboard, our Cruise Director will provide a general briefing to familiarize you with the vessel and our safety procedures. After the briefing, we will cast off and set sail for Sabolan Island, where you can enjoy your first swim and snorkeling experience along a pristine white sand beach.
During breakfast, we will sail to Gili Lawa Laut and Gili Lawa Darat, two small islands located in the north of Komodo National Park. These islands offer breathtaking landscapes and some of the most beautiful snorkeling sites in the park. The channels between these islands are truly a snorkeler’s paradise. The reefs, adorned with vibrant hard and soft corals, abundant sponges, and diverse marine life, provide a home for vast schools of anthias and fusiliers. You may even encounter the majestic Manta Rays gliding through the waters. In the late afternoon, our staff will take you to a stunning viewpoint on the hill, where you can witness an unforgettable sunset over the park.
We will spend the day exploring the crystal-clear waters of Karang Makasar, a stunning reef surrounded by pristine beaches where Manta Rays and sea turtles are often spotted. This will also be a day of nature exploration, with snorkeling at different sites using our zodiac, as well as some relaxing time on remote beaches surrounded by turquoise waters. It’s the perfect place for kayaking, paddleboarding, and enjoying an appéro on the beach as the sun sets.
Today, we will go ashore to visit the traditional village of Komodo before embarking on a hike to spot the famous Komodo Dragons in their natural habitat. After the hike, we will anchor Bugis along a stunning pink beach, where you can relax and enjoy the unique scenery. In the afternoon, we will sail to Padar Island and hike up a hill to witness the breathtaking sunset over the surrounding islands of the park.
After breakfast and a last swim in paradise, we will arrive at the harbor of Labuan Bajo and we say farewell to the crew and we will transfer you to the airport with a great memory to keep.
