Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of Indonesia’s wildest landscapes. This speedboat trip packs the essentials into a single day.
Typical itinerary
- Dawn departure from Labuan Bajo and climb to the Padar viewpoint, with its three coloured bays.
- Swim and snorkel at Pink Beach, with its pinkish sand.
- Walk with a mandatory ranger to see Komodo dragons on Komodo or Rinca.
- Snorkel at Manta Point (mantas not guaranteed) and stop at the Taka Makassar sandbar.
Who it is for
For travellers with basic fitness: the Padar climb takes about 30 minutes up steps. Not suitable for people with very limited mobility.
What to bring
Closed shoes for Padar, swimwear, cap, reef-safe sunscreen, towel and a change of clothes. On dragon walks always follow the ranger’s instructions and keep any open wounds covered.
Best time
April to November, in the dry season. July and August can bring rougher seas and more visitors. The order of stops varies with tides and park rules. National park fees are paid separately and may change.
We keep passenger numbers limited so the day stays comfortable and safe, and the guide briefs you on each stop on the way.
