Arriving at Labuan Bajo, Flores, our representatives will be waiting for you, ready to escort you to the ship for boarding. Safety Briefing, Safety DVD, Crew Introduction, Necessary Paperworks, Cabin allocation, and ship orientation will take place as soon as you arrive. To start the journey, a check dive will commence to make sure you are comfortable with the gear, etc. You will have some time to familiarize yourself with the vessel and make yourself comfortable as we journey to Hatamin Island. In Hatamin, we would learn about the coral conservation surrounding the island and take part in the effort. The corals in Hatamin were broken due to excessive fishing activities, and it is deemed important to bring back the ecosystem. The conservation has been in progress and has brought back a lot of underwater species into the area. Not too far from Hatamin Island is Seraya Island, perfect for water activities. You will be able to swim, paddleboard, kayak, and have fun in the water with the tools prepared onboard.
Located in the remote Komodo National Park, Padar Island can be found between Rinca Island and Komodo Island. It is surrounded by blue oceans, three-colored beaches, and a beautiful panorama all around. After visiting the beautiful island, we’d snorkel in Secret Garden, a site known for its vibrant coral gardens and diverse marine life. You’ll be able to see schools of snapper and fusiliers, even manta rays and sea turtles. Moving on to the next snorkeling spot, Pillarsteen is a spot characterized by its dramatic rock formations and rich marine life. It has underwater walls, swim-throughs, and abundant soft corals swaying in the water. And then, as we have fun in the area, we’ll be able to take out kayaks, paddleboards, etc, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings, and even do some beach visits to the Pink Beach.
South Komodo is famous for its dramatic, rugged landscapes. Above the water, it feels quieter and more remote, with fewer visitors, perfect for a quiet day of rest and relaxing time. The underwater life is plenty mesmerizing, with Manta Alley and Lehok Sera in the area. Manta Alley is one of the most iconic sites in Komodo National Park, the best place to swim with Manta Rays. It is filled with stunning and pristine coral reefs, and you can swim with many mantas at one time. They come to this area for mating and cleaning purposes, with wrasse and butterfly fish cleaning them up, along with reef sharks and schools of trevallies. Lehok Sera is also a fantastic place for snorkeling, with its stunning coral gardens teeming with colorful reef, plenty of fish, turtles, bumphead parrotfish, and even occasional reef sharks. We’ll also take you to see the beautiful beach, to relax and enjoy the scenery.
Being in Komodo National Park calls for a visit to see the Komodo Dragons, the world’s largest living lizards. These lizards reside only in Indonesia and nowhere else in the world, making it a once-in-a-lifetime experience to see them in their habitat. The Pink Beach will also wait with its pink sand, colored by the red corals surrounding the area, inviting you for a relaxing time on its shore. You’ll be free to try some water activities and have fun splashing in the water.
North Komodo has sunny and warm weather; it’s where you’ll find some of the park’s most famous and photogenic spots. Above the water, it has dramatic islands, pristine beaches, and turquoise bays, a magical view for sightseeing. Along its stunning landscape is also the perfect area for epic underwater action. The Cauldron, or often known as Shotgun, is famous for its unique bowl-like shape, of the underwater topography. You may encounter many sea creatures like reef sharks, trevally, large snappers, batfish, napoleon wrasse, turtles, mobula rays, and manta rays, too! Not too long after, you’ll find yourself in Gili Lawa Darat, trekking up the hill for a nice sunset to end the day.
Central Komodo is often called the heart of Komodo National Park. Not only is it beautiful from above the water, but it also brings you amazing underwater experiences with its rich waters. Karang Makassar, or more popularly known as Manta Point, is situated within the park, offering an unparalleled experience with manta rays in their cleaning stations. Pasir Timbul, a small sand island located in the middle of the ocean, is somewhat shaped like a crescent moon, and you can do much snorkeling in the area as well, with its colorful coral reefs and many species of fish. On the other side of the area, Mawan Island offers many things you can do, from beach visits to snorkeling. The underwater world is teeming with life, and you’ll be able to see plenty of hard and soft corals, small sea fans, colorful sponges and anemones, along with reef fish, manta rays, stingrays, white tip and black tip reef sharks, and even small nudibranchs, peacock mantis shrimp, and frogfish. The evening will bring us to the fruit bats experience. We will be anchored watching the beautiful red sky and sunset in the horizon, and as the day grows darker, hundreds of flying foxes will leave their home island to find food.
Arriving back in Labuan Bajo, it will be the last day of your exploration aboard our vessel. You will have a hearty breakfast for the last time before being dropped off by our representatives at the airport to catch a flight to your next destination. See you next trip!
