📅 3-Day / 2-Night Itinerary

Day 1 – Labuan Bajo → Kelor, Manjarite & Kalong

The adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel or Labuan Bajo Airport in the morning, followed by a transfer to the harbor. From there, the Bombana sets sail to Île de Kelor, where you can trek up to scenic viewpoints and swim or snorkel along white sandy beaches.

Next is Île Manjarite, known for its colorful fish and shallow snorkeling spots in clear waters. As the day winds down, the boat will anchor near mangroves at Île de Kalong, where you can enjoy a magical sunset and watch thousands of flying foxes take flight.

Day 2 – Padar, Pink Beach, Komodo & Manta Point

On the second day, early morning sailing brings you to Île de Padar. A short hike to the summit reveals dramatic views of its rugged bays and beaches — a highlight for photos and sightseeing.

Then it’s on to Plage rose, where the rare pink hue of the sand and abundant marine life make snorkeling unforgettable.

The ship continues to Île de Komodo, the home of the legendary Komodo dragons. A guided trek through the island’s natural habitat offers a chance to spot these prehistoric giants and other wildlife such as deer and buffalo.

Later, the cruise heads toward Manta Point, where you can snorkel if conditions allow and watch majestic manta rays glide through the water. Finally, the boat will make a stop at the picturesque Taka Makassar Island, a tiny sandbank perfect for snorkeling and relaxing before sundown.

Day 3 – Kanawa Island & Return

On the final day, the Bombana sails to Île Kanawa, a charming island surrounded by vibrant coral and tropical fish. Enjoy a final swim or snorkeling session before cruising back to Labuan Bajo.
