The journey continues to Taka Makassar for more snorkeling among colorful coral reefs. At Manta Point, you'll have the chance to see graceful manta rays gliding beneath the surface. Finally, we’ll visit Kanawa Island, renowned for its stunning coral reef garden.

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!

5.00Unforgettable trip! Spectacular views, encounter of a Komodo Dragon from up close and a great service provided by the organizer made it a unique experience. Everything has been timely and well organized. I highly recommend this company.
Excellent tour but you won’t beat the crowd

4.00Sorry for the 4* BUT we thought we would beat the crowd. However, when we arrived at the first stop, there were 64 boats that had overnighted and had gone up the viewpoint, so we beat nobody. Second stop was the same at Pink beach, hundreds of people so we beat nobody there also. At Komodo island it was the same - there were hundreds of people and even in the “trek” we were following two groups of 12… All-in-all, good tour but other than coming back early, we would have slept a few hours more for a 8:30 tour instead, since it fell short of “beat the crowd” On another note, the tour operator is worth 5* and all the staff we had. You will also do everything that is mentionned in the description.
