Starting April 2026, Komodo National Park will limit visitors to 1,000 people per day. All entry slots must be booked through the official SIORA system, which does not support international payments. If you agree, we will secure the slot using our own funds, which must be reimbursed upon your arrival by cash or card (3% bank fee for card payments). All SIORA slots are non-refundable and non-changeable, so tour dates must be final.
If you are catching an afternoon flight after the tour, please bring your luggage with you and store it in the shuttle car. The same car will take you straight to the airport once the tour ends. Since you will not return to the hotel, towels are not available to borrow, so please bring your own.
Guests planning to bring a drone to Komodo National Park must inform us at least 5 days in advance, hold a valid drone flying certification, and obtain a permit costing 2.5 million rupiah, which we must pay upfront and can be reimbursed upon your arrival. Please let us know if you’d like our assistance.

What To Expect
Labuan Bajo
Our pick-up service begins at 5:25 AM, depending on your hotel’s location. Please be ready in your hotel lobby and ensure your WhatsApp number is active on the tour day, in case our team needs to contact you for coordination. Once the formalities are completed, you will board one of our speedboats departing promptly before 6:00 AM from Labuan Bajo. With a maximum of 17 guests per departure, the boat assigned each day is selected to best match the group size, ensuring comfort and a well-balanced onboard experience. Please be assured that even with only one booking, the tour will still 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.

5.00This was a fantastically organized trip with incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff. They did not drone on with too much information but were ready with more knowledge about any topic a member of the tour was interested in learning about. They were also skills at finding the wildlife!! Safety was a priority and the guides and crew were ready and able to cater to everyone from the most to least experienced (including little kids and first time snorkelers. The speed boat was able to navigate rough water comfortably, bench seats were comfortable and there was cover from the sun. Snacks and cold drinks were abundantly available. The timing was superb with the climb early morning while it was cool, the medium walk on Komodo’s Island mostly under the trees and plenty of time to snorkel or swim. Thank you Alexandria Tours!

5.00Early boat to Komodo was amazing. Small group, only 6 of us versus some that had 20+ people. We were first to every stop and left when larger groups showed up. Hugo and other staff were friendly and attentive to all our needs. Would definitely recommend!
