The Ultimate Komodo Land & Sea Experience

Komodo National Park offers one of the planet's most intense and rewarding adventure combinations. This UNESCO World Heritage site is the only place on Earth where you can trek with the world's largest lizards—the prehistoric Komodo Dragons—in the morning and drift dive through some of the ocean's strongest and most nutrient-rich currents by afternoon. Whether you choose a luxury liveaboard for a multi-day immersion or a high-speed day trip from Labuan Bajo, you will explore a landscape of rugged savannah islands, vibrant pink sand beaches, and thriving coral reefs. The marine biodiversity here is staggering, with sites like Manta Point offering year-round encounters with giant rays, while the challenging currents at 'The Shotgun' and 'Batu Bolong' attract massive schools of pelagic fish, making it a bucket-list destination for serious divers and adventurous snorkelers alike.

Incredible Liveaboard Experience

We booked the 3-day sailing adventure and it was the highlight of our Indonesia trip. The crew was amazing, food was delicious, and waking up at Padar Island was magical. Saw huge mantas!

World class diving

The currents at Batu Bolong are no joke but the guide was very professional. Thousands of fish. The boat was clean and well maintained. Highly recommended for advanced divers.

Great day trip but crowded

We did the speed boat day tour. It was efficient and we saw everything promised - Pink Beach, Dragons, and Turtles. A bit rushed at stops but perfect if you are short on time.

Dragons were huge!

The trekking on Rinca was safe and the rangers were very knowledgeable. Snorkeling at Kanawa afterwards was like swimming in an aquarium. Great value for money.

Professional and Safe

As a new diver I was worried about currents, but the instructor on the daily boat kept us in calm spots. Saw sharks and turtles. Very trustworthy operator.

Beautiful scenery

The Phinisi boat was rustic but charming. The AC in the cabin was a bit weak, but sleeping on the deck under the stars was better anyway. The food was surprisingly good.

Bucket list check

The hike up Padar is steep but worth it. Diving with mantas was spiritual. Everything ran on time which is rare. Book the fast boat if you want to see more.
