Our tour kicks off with a boat ride to Padar Island, where you'll be treated to breathtaking landscapes. Next, we’ll head to Komodo Island to see the legendary Komodo dragons—the largest lizard in the world. Afterward, sail to Pink Beach, where you can snorkel and discover vibrant marine life.

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!

The early morning is absolutely worth it to beat the crowds! Wonderful experience with wonderful guides. As a solo traveler this group was the perfect way to connect with others without feeling like I was the odd man out for being solo. 10/10 would recommend.

An excellent tour with a lot of activities - a climb of 800 steps for a great view, some time on a pink beach before everyone else got there, Komodo walk (2km) to see 5 dragons, a stop at a gorgeous sandbank similar to Maldvian islands, and three stops of snorkelling off the boat. All with a lovely crew that looked after us in all ways. Highly recommended.
Brilliant day from start...

Great trip, with each activity perfectly timed. The guides are very helpful with the snorkelling, and they provide you with the right amount of information about each activity. The Komodo dragons were amazing, and we were lucky enough to see a manta ray too.
Amazing
