About this tour
Fly from Bali to Komodo for two days chasing dragons, caves, and coral. This package handles flights, accommodation at Parlezo Hotel, and guided exploration of Indonesia's most dramatic landscape. You'll navigate Batu Cermin and Rangko caves, trek Padar Island's ridgelines, spot Komodo dragons on foot, swim at Pink Beach, and snorkel manta rays at Manta Point and Taka Makassar. Meals and all park fees included. Moderate fitness required.
Highlights
- Hike Padar Island for panoramic views and rock formations
- Track Komodo dragons through scrubland with local ranger
- Explore cave systems: Batu Cermin and Rangko
- Snorkel with manta rays at designated feeding grounds
- Watch sunset from Silvia Hill overlooking island valleys
- Swim at Pink Beach's unique coral-sand shoreline
- Roundtrip flights and transfers from Bali included
What to expect
Day one: morning flight to Labuan Bajo, then speedboat to your first sites. You'll wade through Batu Cermin's freshwater pools and navigate Rangko Cave's stalactites before anchoring at Silvia Hill for sunset. Day two builds intensity—trek the Komodo dragon reserve with guides who read animal behaviour, swim at Pink Beach, then snorkel Manta Point where rays glide beneath you. Boat time is substantial; seas can be rough. Your guide speaks English and manages safety protocols. Lunch is local Indonesian fare, eaten onboard or at simple beachside warungs.
