Day 15 stops

  • 09:30-10:30 - Board at KP3 Harbour in Labuan Bajo, meet the crew and settle into your cabin.
  • Kelor Island - An easy trek up the ridge. Short but steep, and the cluster of islands opens up from the top.

  • Kalong Island - We anchor in the late afternoon and wait for thousands of flying foxes to leave the mangroves as the sun drops.

Day 26 stops

  • Padar Island - We leave in the dark to catch sunrise. The climb is real, and what waits at the top is the three-bay view Komodo is known for.
  • Pink Beach - The sand is pink from broken coral. You can swim and snorkel straight off the beach.
  • Komodo Island - A trek with a national park ranger to see the dragons in their own habitat. The ranger sets the route and the distance.
  • Manta Point - A swim looking for manta rays. It depends on the current and the sea that day.
  • Taka Makassar - A sandbar that surfaces at low tide, good for photos and a snorkel along its edge.
  • Overnight on board.
