Sail through the heart of the Komodo National Park and uncover the wild beauty of Flores Island.
This 4-day journey blends natural wonders and adventure — from encountering the legendary Komodo dragons in their natural habitat to discovering hidden waterfalls and turquoise lagoons surrounded by lush rainforest.
Designed for nature lovers and explorers alike, this program offers the perfect combination of soft adventure and comfort — staying on board a traditional wooden Phinisi boat and in boutique seaside hotels in Labuan Bajo. Expect pristine coral reefs, pink beaches, dramatic islands, and unforgettable sunsets that paint the sky over the Flores Sea.
Upon arrival at Labuan Bajo, you’ll be greeted by our local representative and transferred to the harbor. Begin your sailing adventure aboard a private local wooden boat to Rinca Island, one of the best places to see Komodo Dragons in the wild.
En route, stop at Kelor Island and Manjarite for snorkeling and swimming in crystal-clear waters surrounded by colorful coral gardens.
After lunch on board, continue to Loh Buaya on Rinca Island. Led by a local ranger, take a one-hour trek to observe Komodo dragons and other wildlife such as deer, wild pigs, and tropical birds. As the sun sets, sail to Kalong Island, where thousands of fruit bats take flight against a fiery orange sky.
