The itinerary

Day 01

Kelor Island, Manjerite Snorkeling, Rinca, and Kalong Sunset

After breakfast, our team will pick you up from your hotel and drop you at the harbor.
From the harbor, you will start sailing to the first destination, Kelor Island.
There, you can climb for only 10 minutes to reach the top of the small hill on Kelor Island.
From the top, you will see a beautiful view, many small islands around you, and Labuan Bajo town in the distance.
Lunch will be served on the boat.
Then, you will move to Manjerite Island for snorkeling.
After that, continue to Rinca Island to see the Komodo dragon.
The trip then continues to Kalong Island to see thousands of flying bats coming out from their resting places.
Overnight at Kalong Island and enjoy dinner on the boat.

Day 02

Padar Sunrise Trek, Komodo Island, Pink Beach, and Manta Point

Before sunrise appears, the boat will slowly depart from Kalong Island to Padar Island. The distance from Kalong to Padar Island is not far, so you will arrive there soon.
Then, you can go trekking to reach the top of Padar Island, where you will see a beautiful view from the hilltop.
You will see the ocean separated by several hills, creating a very beautiful landscape.
After trekking on Padar, you will move to Komodo Island to see the ancient animals that have been crowned as one of the wonders of the world.
You will do a medium trek around Komodo National Park.
Next, you will be taken to Pink Beach. Lunch will be served on the boat.
On this beach, it is time to feel the sensation of the wind on the pink sand.
In addition, there are various types of fish and coral reefs here.
You can swim freely to your heart's content.
Next, you will sail to Taka Makassar, a beautiful small island that appears in the middle of the sea. Taka Makassar is very small - in fact, smaller than a soccer field - but it is beautiful and ideal for snorkeling or diving.
Then, you will move to Manta Point.
You can snorkel and dive at Manta Point, and if you are lucky, you may see manta rays, swim with them, and get very close to them. It is a rare occasion to swim together with manta rays.

Day 03

Siaba, Sebayur, and Bidadari Island Snorkeling

Next, you will be taken to Siaba Island for snorkeling and diving to see turtles.
Lunch will be served on the boat.
Then, the trip will continue to Sebayur Island.
On Sebayur Island, you will enjoy the beauty of coral reefs and beautiful underwater biota.
Next, move to Bidadari Island for snorkeling before heading back to Labuan Bajo.
