3 Nights Sailing Komodo, Indonesia Itinerary

Today take a guided tour of the newly renovated national park of Rinca, and while your guide will likely spot them long before you, keep your eyes sharp for monkeys, wild pigs, water buffalo, deer and Komodo Dragons. Here you will learn how dragons became the apex land predator of the region. Jump back onboard ready for the boat to move to Pulau Kalong (Bat Island), a mangrove island that comes alive at dusk. Take a drink in hand, sit comfortably and enjoy the sunset before enjoying your first dinner of the trip.

Begin the morning in the relaxing bay anchorage of Siaba. Komodo waters owes its abundant marine life to the strong Northerly and Southern currents that run through the park, which you are in the centre of on day 2. The first site is home to many Green Turtles that you can spot. This site offers a contrast between sandy flats and lush coral reef. When the tide is right, snorkel or dive at Batu Bolong, a protruding pinnacle site that everyone enjoys. After lunch onboard, enjoy a snorkel or dive at Manta point and hopefully witness the amazing Manta mating train. This is a sight to see and for sure a highlight of the trip if you spot them! You have the option to take leisurely stroll around Takar Makasar sandbar where you can escape the sun in the shadow of Komodo Island. During the evening you can take a swim in the waters before heading back onboard where dinner is being prepared.

Wake up amongst the waters of Teluk Slaweh and head to Pink Beach, made famous by the sands pink tinge. A healthy shallow reef, full of colorful soft corals make it perfect for snorkelling and a sloping dive site that offers some interesting potential sightings, such as frog fish, spotted sting rays and potentially mobula rays passing in the blue. You also have the option to hike Padar Island today where the view looks northwest towards the setting sun overseeing the park. It’s the iconic shot of the region and holds national significance, it’s also printed on Indonesia’s 50,000 rupiah note! Head back to the boat for your final evening meal.
