What To Expect
Labuan Bajo
Starting early in the morning from Labuan Bajo, we’ll pick you up directly from your hotel and take you to the harbor, where your adventure begins. From the jetty, you'll board a comfortable speed boat and head off to explore the natural wonders of Komodo National Park — with fewer crowds and more time to enjoy each destination.
Padar Island
Trekking on Padar Island is one of the highlights of any Komodo tour. After a short hike up the island’s rugged trail, you’ll be rewarded with one of the most iconic views in Indonesia — a stunning panorama of three curved bays with beaches in different colors: white, black, and pink. The trek takes about 20–30 minutes and is manageable for most fitness levels, especially with short breaks along the way. Sunrise or early morning is the best time to go, with cooler temperatures and soft golden light perfect for photos. Don’t forget your camera — this is one view you’ll want to remember!

5.00Perfect day! The guide was very kind and competent, as was the crew. The boat was clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this early rise formula which allows to arrive before everyone at the different sites. Wonderful ☀️
A day we will never forget, but drugged Komodos

5.00Excellent tour. Worth every penny. Truly early bird. Snorkellers paradise. Only complaint is that the Komodo island part of the tour is clearly a scam rather than true conservation. The dragons are clearly sedated and drugged for tourist glee. The ‘ranger’ provoked each drugged dragon in what was a disgusting circus like performance, all whilst telling us how lucky we were to see them. The show of speaking “quietly to not disturb the dragons” was against the backdrop of locals with their shops and stalls playing loud music and leaving rubbish on the beach. This was the only unsavoury part of the day.
Holiday highlight

4.00Leaving early is a good idea, boat we had was a bit too small for 10 people so it got very hot when not moving

5.00Amazing trip covering all the highlights for our group of 6 - lovely to do the hike on Padar Island so early to avoid the heat. The pink beach was actually pinker than expected and then we saw Komodo Dragons, a lot of beautiful Manta rays which were an absolute highlight, beautiful snorkelling, and loads of turtles. Our guide Juno was fantastic and he made amazing photos of our group for us and even got footage of the manta rays. He went above and beyond. The Komodo dragon guide also got wonderful photos and video of us with the dragons. Fantastic day out, highly recommend!
Great day out
