Itineraries

3 Day – Komodo National Park

The adventure begins with a pick-up from your hotel or airport in Labuan Bajo. After introductions to the crew and a safety briefing, the boat sails to Kelor Island for a short trek to enjoy panoramic views of the hills and blue sea. Next, snorkelling in the clear waters of Manjarite, which is rich in coral reefs and tropical fish. Towards dusk, the ship anchors near Kalong Island, where thousands of bats fly out of the mangroves at sunset, creating a mesmerising sight. The evening is spent having dinner on board while enjoying the starry night sky.

On the third day, you will explore Gili Lawa, an island with green hills and stunning ocean views. Next, snorkel at Siaba Besar, a place known as “Turtle City” for its abundant turtle population. The journey continues to Sebayur Island, where you can relax on the white sandy beach or snorkel in the clear waters.

The final day begins with a visit to Kanawa Island, a small island with white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters perfect for snorkelling or simply relaxing. After enjoying a quiet morning, the boat will sail back to Labuan Bajo. Upon arrival at the harbour, you will be transferred back to your hotel or the airport, marking the end of this incredible adventure.
