Itineraries

3 Day – Komodo National Park

Embarkation, Rinca Island

AM: Upon arrival, you will be picked by the Plataran staff from the airport and transfered to the boat. As you step aboard the beautiful Phinisi Malayeka, you will be warmly welcomed by the staff and served a welcome drink. The boat will then depart for Rinca Island, a journey that will take approximately 3 hours.
PM: Once we arrive, everyone will go off the boat and head to ranger station. From there you’ll begin your thrilling trek to see the legendary Komodo dragons, safely guided by the ranger of the island. You may adjust your time

Padar, Komodo & Pink Beach

AM: This morning we arrive at the incredible Padar Island, the third largest island in the national park, where you’ll ascend to its peak for one of the best panoramic views imaginable. Once roamed by no less than three species of Komodo dragon, today the island is sadly dragon-free due to historic hunting of the dragons themselves and their prey.

Fortunately the trekking to be had is no less spectacular, and it won’t be long before you are in search of dragons as our next stop is Komodo Island itself. Home of the namesake legendary Komodo Dragons, the island is also a haven for deer, wild boar and many bird species.

PM: Afterwards you’ll don your mask for more snorkeling and relaxing at the otherworldly World Heritage Site of Pantai Merah, the island’s spectacular pink beach.

Bidadari, Disembarkation

AM: This morning, after breakfast, you’ll get the chance to go snorkeling at some of the most breathtaking sub-aquatic spots. First stop is the beautiful small island of Kanawa with its amazing corals. Later, the Phinisi Malayeka will bring you to another blissful site of the Komodo sea – the idyllic Bidadari Island.
Bidadari’s white sands and turquoise waters are located to the north west part of Labuan Bajo, and are home to untold colorful fish and corals. Enjoy snorkeling or just relax on the beach before we sail back to Labuan Bajo in the afternoon and drop you at the airport or your hotel.
