The Ultimate One-Day Komodo Adventure

A speedboat tour is the most efficient way to explore the wonders of Komodo National Park. Unlike slow wooden boats that take days to cover the same distance, our high-speed vessels whisk you comfortably from Labuan Bajo to the park's most remote and spectacular corners in a single day. You will hike the rugged peaks of Padar Island for sunrise, stand face-to-face with legendary Komodo Dragons, swim in the surreal waters of Pink Beach, and snorkel with majestic Manta Rays. These tours are designed for travelers who want to maximize their experience without compromising on comfort or time.

Fast and fun

Very efficient way to see everything. The ride can be a bit bumpy so take seasickness pills if you are sensitive. Pink beach is beautiful.
