Sample Tour Program
These programs are only used as a guideline. Dive guides will make some adjustments to the itinerary based on certain conditions: current, tides, visibility conditions at the exact hour of activity. Our guides will decide the final timing, location, and routes of the trip.
Day 1
Once everyone is ready at 9 AM, we will walk approximately 5 minutes to the harbor located just behind our office.
Welcome aboard! Our first stop will be Sebayur Kecil or another easy site for a check dive, where we will assess your equipment and skill level.
Next, we will head to Tatawa Besar for your first drift dive of the trip – Komodo is famous for currents.
The last dive of the day is often a nice, protected night dive and may be in central or in North Komodo, where you will stay overnight. Watch the reef come even more alive at night!
After dinner and some chit chat, maybe watching the stars from the roof it’s time to get some rest before a busy second day exploring the park.
Day 2
On the second day of our trip, we’ll begin with a morning dive perhaps at the Cauldron, located in North Komodo. This exciting channel dive between Gili Lawa Darat and Gili Lawa Laut is best experienced at falling tide. You’ll start with a slow drift from the west side, pass through the channel, and then end with a ripping current. It’s an exciting site to explore!
After the first dive, you’ll be treated to breakfast while the boat slowly moves to the northern side of the island. The next dive sites on our itinerary could be Castle and Crystal Rock.
Lunch will be served after the third dive, followed by a move to the central area where we will search for the perfect night dive site. Siaba Besar is a popular option, but if you love macro – Wae Nilu is a great choice.
After the last dive, we’ll anchor the boat in a safe place for your second night. You can then enjoy dinner, chat with your fellow divers, and retire to bed for some well-deserved sleep.
Day 3
Begin your day with an early wake-up call to embark on a morning hike at Padar, a renowned trekking spot in Komodo. From the top of the island, relish the breathtaking sunrise view.
Head back to the boat for a hearty breakfast and sail towards your first dive site in the Padar area. Here, you can discover the vibrant and diverse marine life, including colorful coral, sharks, and macro lover’s dreams.
Once you’ve explored around Padar, return to the central area for your second and third dive. Your guide may choose between Batu Bolong, Mawan, or Manta Point, each offering unique and memorable diving experiences.
After completing the third dive, proceed to another protected site for the final night dive of the trip. Look out for fascinating, weird and wonderful creatures of the night.
As the boat anchors, enjoy a delicious dinner and casual conversation before settling down for the night.
Day 4
Today marks the final day of your excursion! You have two more dives to relish.
There are still plenty of amazing dive sites to choose from, maybe explore Mawan, Siaba, Tatawa or Pengah Kecil on this last day.
After completing the dives, have lunch and journey to Rinca Island (or Komodo Island) to witness the remarkable Komodo dragon. Typically, the trek lasts around two hours.
Return to the boat and embark on the journey back to the original port of departure, Labuan Bajo.
This concludes the trip, and it’s time to say farewell!
