Upon arrival at Padar Island, participants will begin the trek toward its famous summit viewpoint.

From the top of Padar Island, you can admire a spectacular panorama of three uniquely shaped bays, dramatic hills, winding coastlines, and mesmerizing shades of blue across the surrounding sea.

This breathtaking landscape is one of the most recognizable views in Labuan Bajo and one of the most popular photography locations in Komodo National Park.

The trek follows a combination of stairs and uphill paths. Comfortable footwear is highly recommended. Please bring enough drinking water and take breaks whenever necessary.

After reaching the viewpoint, you will have time to admire the scenery, take photographs, and capture unforgettable memories from one of the most beautiful viewpoints in Indonesia.

10:00–10:15 | Journey to Pink Beach

After exploring Padar Island, the journey continues by speedboat to Pink Beach.

During this short boat ride, you can rest and enjoy views of the surrounding sea and the small islands scattered throughout Komodo National Park.

10:15–11:15 | Swimming and Photography at Pink Beach

Pink Beach is famous for its distinctive sand, which appears pink or reddish under the sunlight. This unique shoreline creates a stunning contrast with the crystal-clear water and scenic hills surrounding the beach.

At this destination, you can swim, relax along the shore, enjoy snorkeling, or take photographs against the beautiful pink-sand landscape.

The waters around Pink Beach also offer fascinating underwater scenery. Please be careful during water activities and avoid standing on, touching, or damaging the coral reefs.

11:15–11:30 | Journey to Komodo Island

The adventure continues toward Komodo Island, one of the natural habitats of the legendary Komodo dragon within Komodo National Park.

During the journey, participants may rest, change clothes, or prepare for the next activity.

11:30–12:00 | Arrival at Komodo Island

Upon arrival at Komodo Island, participants will disembark from the speedboat and enter the visitor area according to the applicable procedures.

The island is known as one of the natural habitats of the Komodo dragon, the world’s largest living lizard. These extraordinary animals can only be found naturally on several islands within and around Komodo National Park.

Komodo dragon sightings depend on environmental conditions and the animals’ movements on the day of your visit. While exploring the area, all participants must follow the instructions of the local ranger and maintain a safe distance from wildlife.

12:00–13:00 | Lunch and Rest on Komodo Island

After a morning filled with traveling and outdoor activities, participants can enjoy a well-deserved lunch break.

Use this opportunity to recharge your energy, enjoy the atmosphere of Komodo Island, and prepare for the next destination on the itinerary.

Please do not leave food waste, plastic, or other rubbish in the area. Keeping the destination clean helps protect the natural beauty and biodiversity of Komodo National Park.

13:00–13:30 | Journey to Taka Makassar

After lunch, the speedboat will take participants to Taka Makassar.

This destination is a small crescent-shaped sandbar surrounded by open sea. Its shape and visible land area may vary depending on the tides and sea conditions.

13:30–14:10 | Swimming and Photography at Taka Makassar

Taka Makassar offers a beautiful stretch of white sand surrounded by shallow, crystal-clear turquoise water.

You can walk along the sandbar, swim in the calm shallow waters, or take stunning photographs with the open sea as your background.

The combination of white sand, tranquil water, and distant island scenery makes Taka Makassar one of the most popular photography locations on a Labuan Bajo island-hopping tour.

Because the sandbar is located in the middle of the sea, participants should keep their belongings secure and follow all instructions provided by the boat crew.

14:10–14:15 | Journey to Manta Point

From Taka Makassar, the journey continues to Manta Point.

Manta Point is located relatively close to Taka Makassar, making the speedboat journey between the two destinations fairly short.

14:15–14:35 | Searching for Manta Rays at Manta Point

Manta Point is one of the most famous locations in Labuan Bajo for observing manta rays in their natural habitat.

When weather, currents, visibility, and wildlife conditions are suitable, participants may have the opportunity to see manta rays gliding gracefully through the surrounding waters.

Manta ray sightings cannot be guaranteed because they are wild animals that move freely throughout their natural environment.

Participants may capture the experience from the boat or follow the crew’s instructions if conditions are safe and suitable for entering the water.

Always maintain a respectful distance. Do not touch, chase, block, or disturb manta rays or any other marine life.

14:35–15:00 | Journey to Turtle Point

After the experience at Manta Point, the journey continues to Turtle Point, one of the most interesting snorkeling locations in the Komodo National Park area.

During the speedboat journey, you can rest while enjoying views of the blue ocean and the beautiful islands surrounding Labuan Bajo.

15:00–16:00 | Snorkeling and Searching for Sea Turtles at Turtle Point

Turtle Point is the final destination on this one-day Labuan Bajo open trip. The area is known as a location where visitors may have the opportunity to observe sea turtles swimming freely in their natural habitat.

Participants can go snorkeling in the clear water, see colorful tropical fish and coral reefs, and possibly encounter sea turtles swimming or feeding around the area.

Sea turtle sightings cannot be guaranteed because turtles are wild animals whose movements depend on natural conditions, currents, and food availability.

When encountering a sea turtle, participants must maintain a safe distance. Do not touch, chase, feed, block, or interfere with the turtle’s swimming path.

Enjoy the experience responsibly and help protect the marine ecosystem for future generations.

Snorkeling at Turtle Point provides a memorable ending to your Komodo National Park adventure before returning to Labuan Bajo.

16:00–16:15 | Return Journey to Labuan Bajo
