Itinerary

Day 1 | Departure from Bali & Check Dive at Kanawa

Afternoon: Board the vessel in Bali. After a warm welcome and safety briefing, we set sail east, leaving the busy shores of Bali behind.

Late Afternoon: Arrive at the idyllic Kanawa Island. Your check dive here is in a calm, crystal-clear bay, perfect for shaking off the travel dust. Explore a beautiful sloping reef teeming with colorful fish and healthy corals.

Evening: Welcome dinner as we anchor under the stars.

Kanawa's Gardens & Kramat's Critters

Day 2 | • Morning (2 Dives): Continue exploring the reefs around Kanawa Island,

known for their stunning coral gardens and excellent visibility. Keep an eye out for turtles and reef sharks.

Afternoon (2 Dives): Move to Kramat Island, a known hotspot for macro life. Dive its black sand slopes to search for rare critters like flamboyant cuttlefish, ghost pipefish, and a multitude of nudibranch species.

Evening: Enjoy a serene sunset and begin the journey towards Saleh Bay.

Day 3 | Saleh Bay & Moyo Island's Giants

Full Day (4 Dives): Dive into the rich waters of Saleh Bay, famous for its resident population of hammerhead sharks (seasonal, with best chances from July-November). We will also explore the protected reefs of Moyo Island, where Napoleon wrasse and giant trevallies are common sights. The vibrant soft corals here are a photographer's delight.

Sangeang - The Volcanic Experience

Day 4 | • Full Day (4 Dives): Experience the otherworldly landscape of Sangeang

Island, an active volcano. Dive sites like Hot Rocks and Bubble Beach are unique, where volcanic vents release streams of warm bubbles from the seafloor. The mineral-rich waters foster strange and beautiful coral formations, creating a truly surreal diving environment.

Evening: Witness the volcano's silhouette against the setting sun.

Day 5 | Gili Banta's Remote Reefs

Full Day (3-4 Dives): Discover the secluded underwater world of Gili Banta. This remote island offers pristine reefs, dramatic walls, and exciting drifts. Sites like Manta Banta and Roller Coaster are known for pelagic action, with chances to see sharks, eagles rays, and, of course, Manta Rays.

Evening: We enter Komodo National Park, with the iconic peaks of Gili Lawa on the horizon.

Gili Lawa - The Heart of Komodo's Currents

Day 6 | • Full Day (4 Dives): Dive into the heart of Komodo's famous currents

around Gili Lawa Darat and Laut. Challenge the thrilling drifts at sites like Castle Rock and Crystal Rock, where you'll be surrounded by massive schools of jackfish, trevally, and patrolling reef sharks. This is world-class, adrenaline-pumping diving.

Late Afternoon: Hike to the summit of Gili Lawa Darat for a breathtaking 360-degree sunset view over the Komodo archipelago.

Day 7 | The Manta Grand Finale

Morning (2 Dives): Conclude your diving adventure at a legendary Manta Point (such as Manta Alley or Manta Sandy). Soak in the final, magical moments as you drift alongside the graceful giants of the ocean.

Beach/Top-deck BBQ(can be adjusted due to the weather condition): We land on a secluded beach for a classic barbecue celebration, a perfect way to reflect on the week's adventures.

Evening: Bill Settlement with Cruise Director after dinner

Day 8 | Disembarkation in Labuan Bajo after breakfast
