Komodo National Park Speedboat Adventure

  • 5:10 am - 5:45 am: Receive a pickup from your hotel in or around Labuan Bajo and transfer to the harbour.
  • Visit Padar Island. Hike to the top of Padar Island to see the most iconic view of Komodo National Park. It's a short but steep 30-minute hike, and well worth it.

  • Head to Komodo Island to trek and spot the wild Komodo Dragons. Of the 5,700 Komodo Dragons in Komodo National Park, about 1,727 of them live on Komodo Island.

  • Proceed to Pink Beach. This aptly named beach is peppered with red coral, giving it a light pink hue. Only a handful of places in the world have this natural phenomenon.

  • Continue to Taka Makassar, a small sandbar located near Komodo Island and Manta Point. This island is a worthy destination, especially for snorkelling.

  • Snorkel at Manta Point. Also known as Makassar Reef, this is a well-known snorkelling and diving spot to encounter Manta Rays. The best time for mantas is from December to February.

  • Head to Kanawa Island. This is a beautiful island with clear waters and colourful corals.

  • 05:30 pm - Drop-off anywhere in Labuan Bajo.
