What To Expect
Labuan Bajo
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.
Padar Island
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!

4.00The tour was great places were awesome but was not 11 hours as we paid for 11 hours, pick up 5:30 and dropped at 3pm. We could spend more time at the pink beach!! We had been in tours all asia and this is the only one that the guide was rude sometimes
Everything you could want

5.00I couldn’t go without leaving a review for this tour, it was incredible. Hugo was our guide for the day along with a great team and captain and they did everything to ensure the day was comfortable and memorable. We had 7 stops, which were paced perfectly, plenty of complimentary water and soft drinks throughout the day and we were lucky enough to see Komodo dragons and a manta ray. My biggest appreciation was for how safety was the teams highest priority when snorkelling, especially when it didn’t seem important to other boats in the area. Thank you Hugo and team for an unforgettable day.
Wonderful day

4.00Wonderful guides and service, definitely arrived before the crowds. Snorkeling in the first half of the day was amazing, became difficult in the afternoon with the change in weather. Seeing the Komodo dragons was a highlight.
Beautiful tour - absolutely recommendable!

5.00We had the tour with Hugo & team. Everyone was always super friendly and in a good mood. Getting up early is definitely worth it, as there are no crowds of tourists at the spots visited. We saw several Komodo dragons and were lucky to snorkel with manta rays at the beautiful snorkeling spots. Thank you for the tour - it was truly unforgettable!

5.00The team were fabulous. Heri, Agy and Renol were fantastic and ensured our safety and wellbeing. Heri was extremely supportive and he explained everything thoroughly and answered all our questions. Renol kindly offered to dive and take a video of a turtle during the snorkelling which was so beautiful. We are very grateful for the team, would highly recommend!
Perfect daytrip

5.00Perfect trip for 1 day. Contains all the highlights of Komodo, but not in a rush! The staff was very friendly and helpfull! It was a perfect day for us
Well run and safe

5.00Well run tour, kudos to the guides on the Blue Alexandria Agy, Heri, Ipin. What i found reassuring was that there was a check on snorkeling experience and test for equipment, those who were not confident in snorkeling like my parents were towed around by the guides via life buoy. You don’t beat the crowd by being first on Padar island but going after sunrise to beat the LOB crowd. I think the golden morning light is very beautiful
Top experience!

5.00A great experience. A must do while in Labuan Bajo. It covers all the major stops in the Komodo national park! Would 100% recommend. Our guide Hugo and the rest of the crew were great!
The guide went through his program.
