Day 1 · Board and settle
Transfer from Komodo Airport, board in the early afternoon, then snorkel the first reef while the boat repositions. Dinner on deck, and stargazing once the engines are off.
Three days, and the park still fits
Two nights aboard, out of Labuan Bajo. Rinca for the dragons, Pink Beach for the practice, Padar for the sunrise — then back before the week has really noticed you were gone.

In short
The three-day is the shortest route that still reaches the three landmarks people come for. It runs as a loop out of Labuan Bajo, so no day is spent repositioning to a start point.
- Sunrise and sunset practice on deck or on a beach
- Ranger-guided walk on Rinca, Padar trek at first light
- All meals, park fees and airport transfers included
Day by day
Timings move with the tide and the light. What follows is the shape of it, not a timetable.

Day 2 · Dragons and pink sand
A ranger-guided walk among the Komodo dragons in the morning. Pink Beach in the afternoon for a beach practice and a long swim, then a sound session as the light goes.
03
Day 3 · Padar, then home
Up early for the Padar ridge and its three-bay viewpoint. A last secluded swim on the way back, then the harbour at Labuan Bajo and your transfer out.
Arrive in Labuan Bajo the day before departure. Flights from Denpasar are about an hour, and the first morning starts early.
Not a diver? Every site on this route snorkels well, and the dive team runs discovery sessions for anyone who wants to try one.
What it costs, and what is in it
Rates move with the season and with how much of the boat you take, so the three-day is quoted per enquiry rather than listed. A full-boat charter for a family or a small group is the most common booking.
The quote covers the boat and crew, all meals and non-alcoholic drinks, every scheduled practice and excursion, national park fees, and transfers from Komodo Airport.
Billed separately: alcohol, private one-to-one sessions, spa treatments, and dive equipment hire if you are certified and want tanks rather than a snorkel.
