3 Day – Komodo National Park

That morning, you are picked up from your hotel or the airport in Labuan Bajo and taken to the harbour to board the CIELA Phinisi, an elegant traditional wooden boat. After a warm welcome from the crew and a short briefing, the boat sets sail for Kelor Island. There, you can do some light trekking to the top of the hill to enjoy a panoramic view of the sea and the stunning hills.

The journey continues to Manjarite, a snorkelling spot with clear water and beautiful coral reefs. In the afternoon, the boat anchors around Kalong Island, where thousands of bats emerge from the mangroves at sunset, creating a stunning sight. Night falls, and you enjoy a delicious dinner on board before retiring to your cosy cabin.

Early in the morning, the boat sets sail for Padar Island. After trekking to the top, you’re treated to an iconic view of three bays with different water colours. Next, you visit Pink Beach, a unique pink sandy beach, an ideal place to relax and snorkel.
