The trip
3 days in Komodo National Park from Labuan Bajo. The first day stays among the small islands near town. The second covers the park's best-known stops: Padar, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Taka Makassar and Manta Point. Two more islands come on the way back. Arrive in Labuan Bajo the day before, as the trip starts in the morning. You can fly out on the last day.
The operator notes: the itinerary can change with traffic, weather and tides.
Day 1
A harbour transfer in Labuan Bajo, then Kelor Island and Manjarite Island close to town. The day ends at Kalong Island, named after the flying foxes that roost there and often fly out around dusk.
Day 2
Padar Island, then Pink Beach, with its pink-tinted sand. A guided trek on Komodo Island to look for Komodo dragons in the wild. Then Taka Makassar, a sandbank in the middle of the park. Last, Manta Point, where mantas often gather but come and go with season and current.
Day 3
Sebayur or Siaba Island, then Kanawa Island, and back to Labuan Bajo harbour.
