As Komodo National Park now limits visitors to 1,000 people per day, entry slots are limited and fill quickly. To secure your visit, we will pre-book your entry using our own funds, with a total park fee of IDR 450,000 per person (IDR 250,000 SIORA fee reimbursed upon arrival and IDR 200,000 ranger fee paid in cash on arrival). We will first request your approval, and once confirmed, proceed with the booking. Please note that while our tour is free to cancel up to 24 hours before departure, the SIORA ticket is non-refundable and must still be reimbursed once booked, except in cases of bad weather where the Harbor Master does not allow sailing to the park.
If you are catching an afternoon flight after the tour, please bring your luggage with you and store it in the shuttle car. The same car will take you straight to the airport once the tour ends. Since you will not return to the hotel, towels are not available to borrow, so please bring your own.
Guests planning to bring a drone to Komodo National Park must inform us at least 5 days in advance, hold a valid drone flying certification, and obtain a permit costing 2.5 million rupiah, which we must pay upfront and can be reimbursed upon your arrival. Please let us know if you’d like our assistance.

Activity itinerary

Padar Island

1h 20m
Admission ticket not included

Your journey begins at the iconic Padar Island, about 75 minutes by speedboat from Labuan Bajo. Famous for its dramatic hills and the rare view of three colored beaches—white, pink, and black—Padar offers one of Indonesia’s most breathtaking landscapes. As we arrive, enjoy stunning views of rugged coastlines and turquoise waters. A hike of approximately 815 well-maintained steps leads to the main viewpoint. The climb is manageable at your own pace, with rest stops along the way. At the top, you’ll be rewarded with a spectacular panoramic view—one of the highlights of Komodo National Park and a perfect spot for unforgettable photos. Please wear walking shoes, bring a hat, reef-safe sunscreen, and stay hydrated.

Pink Beach

1h 10m

Next, visit the stunning Pink Beach, located approximately 15 minutes by speedboat from Padar Island. Known as one of the few pink-sand beaches in the world, its unique color comes from a mix of white sand and red coral fragments, creating a soft pink shoreline. The calm, clear waters are suitable for light snorkeling, while the beach itself offers a relaxing atmosphere—perfect for swimming, taking photos, or simply enjoying the scenery. Please use reef-safe sunscreen, avoid stepping on corals, wear swimwear, and do not touch marine life.

Komodo National Park

1h 50m

We then continue to Komodo Island, located approximately 20 minutes by speedboat from Pink Beach. This island is home to the legendary Komodo dragons—the largest living lizards on Earth. Your trek will be guided by experienced local rangers, ensuring both safety and insight throughout the walk. During the trek, you will have the opportunity to observe Komodo dragons in their natural habitat, along with other wildlife such as deer and birds. These remarkable reptiles can grow up to 3 meters in length and are known for their powerful build. For your safety, all guests must follow the ranger’s instructions at all times—please stay with your ranger, keep a safe distance, avoid sudden movements, and inform our guide if you have any open wounds.

Admission ticket not included

We provide a lunch box tailored to your preference and enjoyed at a simple local warung operated by the local community, offering a relaxed setting. If you wish to purchase fresh coconut or additional drinks, we recommend bringing some extra cash.

Taka Makassar Island

After lunch, we continue to Taka Makasar, a beautiful crescent-shaped sandbank surrounded by clear turquoise waters. Located in the middle of the ocean, this small island offers a peaceful stop to relax, take photos, or enjoy a short swim. Its unique shape and natural colors make it one of the most picturesque spots in Komodo National Park. Depending on the tide, the size of the sandbank may vary, adding to its natural charm. Please wear sun protection (hat, reef-safe sunscreen), follow our guide’s instructions at all times, remain calm and move slowly in the water, and use a life jacket if needed.

Manta Point

Then, it’s off to Manta Point, which is just a 5-minute speedboat ride from Taka Makasar. Famous for its frequent sightings of graceful manta rays, this spot is a haven for these gentle giants, drawn to the area’s nutrient-rich currents. It’s one of the best places to snorkel and watch them glide peacefully beneath the surface. If you’re lucky, you might even get to swim alongside them! Please follow our guide’s instructions at all times, remain calm and move slowly in the water, and use a life jacket if needed.

Pulau Siaba Besar

Our final stop is Siaba Island, which is approximately a 15-minute speedboat ride from Manta Point. Known as a prime location to encounter sea turtles, this spot invites you to dive into crystal-clear waters and explore colorful coral gardens teeming with vibrant tropical fish, reef sharks, and, of course, gentle sea turtles. This underwater paradise is the perfect way to conclude a day filled with exploration and adventure. Afterwards, we begin our return journey to Labuan Bajo, which takes approximately 45 minutes from Siaba. Our latest estimated arrival time in Labuan Bajo is 04:00 PM, allowing you to plan your evening or onward travel comfortably.

Labuan Bajo

Our driver will be waiting for you at the harbor upon your arrival, ensuring a smooth and seamless transfer to your hotel or the airport. For guests catching a flight to Bali, the airport is conveniently located just a 5-minute drive from the harbor, allowing you to arrive with ample time for check-in.
