What To Expect
Labuan Bajo
Our pick-up service begins at 5:30 AM, depending on your hotel’s location. Simply wait in your hotel lobby, and we’ll ensure a smooth transfer to the harbor for the check-in process. Once the formalities are complete, you’ll board one of our speedboats, which departs promptly before 6:00 AM from Labuan Bajo. Depending on bookings, we offer three speedboat options tailored to group sizes: a large speedboat for up to 17 passengers, a medium speedboat for up to 14 passengers, and a small speedboat for up to 7 passengers. In total, we can accommodate up to 38 guests daily and even with just one booking, our boat will depart as scheduled.
Padar Island
From your hotel, we’ll head directly to the harbor to board our speedboat and set off on a day filled with discovery. It takes approximately 60 minutes by speedboat from Labuan Bajo to reach our first destination, the iconic Padar Island. Renowned for its dramatic landscapes and unique trio of colored beaches—white, pink, and black—Padar is a feast for the senses. As we approach, you’ll be captivated by the island’s rugged hills and stunning vistas. To reach the best viewpoint for capturing truly stunning pictures, guests will need to walk up 815 well-constructed concrete steps. While a good physical condition is required, the steady steps make the ascent more manageable and guests can take their time to rest along the way. At the top, you’ll be rewarded with sweeping panoramic views—an unforgettable highlight of Komodo National Park.

3.00The walk to the lookout is over 600 stairs and difficult for people with a good level of fitness. Too long spent at pink beach and Komodo Island. Great to see manta rays, turtle, reef sharks and fish!

5.00Tour was nice and we got to see so many places always a bit head of crowds, which was great :) In my opinion the only con was, that we went snorkeling in cold water for long time in Manta Point even they haven’t seen Mantas for the last three weeks —this could be skipped or replaced with longer snorkeling in other spot. I definitely recommend a day tour to see the best part of Komodo Island, no need to do a three day boat if there is no time:)
It’s a well planned trip....

5.00It’s a well planned trip. The day started very early to see the attractions before the crowd comes in. Excellent guides.

5.00If you are looking for a day trip around Komodo island look no further. These guys are amazing. Very well organised. Leaving early is the way to go. We are some of the first people in all the spots. They really give you all the information about the place and the Komodo dragons. Although you can’t see these beautiful animals always, we were lucky enough to see 8! We had the best experience! Done soooo much and got back to the hotel at 3:30pm. Perfect!
Enjoyed every minute!!
