Tour itinerary
- Komodo

- Day 2: Padar Island, Pink Beach and Komodo
- Today we start with Padar Island, a true gem of Komodo National Park. There are no hotels or restaurants, but you’ll enjoy reddish hills and magnificent bays. The beaches here come in an amazing range of colours, from black to pink. We climb to the island’s highest point for breathtaking views (the climb takes about 30–40 minutes).
- Then we head to Pink Beach, where the sand is pink thanks to fragments of coloured coral.
- After that we visit Komodo Island to see the Komodo dragons, which have lived here since ancient times.
- Next comes Taka Makassar, a sandbar in the middle of the ocean with a magnificent coral reef. With luck, we’ll end the day snorkelling with giant manta rays and visit Siaba or Kanawa Island (at the captain’s discretion). We return to Labuan Bajo in the evening.
