Package overview
This itinerary keeps guests on a local wooden boat for three nights, moving between islands across four days: trekking and snorkelling stops at Kelor and Menjerite on day one, Padar Island and Pink Beach on day two, Manta Point and Gili Laba on day three, and Siaba and Kanawa islands before returning to Labuan Bajo on the last day. An air-conditioned or non-air-conditioned cabin is used depending on what is booked.
Because it is a full live-aboard rather than a day-boat product, meals are served on board through most of the trip and the schedule covers considerably more of Komodo National Park than a single-day itinerary can reach. It suits agents selling to snorkelling and dragon-watching clients who want to cover the park properly rather than a short taster, and who are comfortable with several nights spent on the water.
Trip highlights
- Kelor Island trekking and snorkelling, plus the Menjerite snorkel spot

Day-by-day itinerary
Day 1: Labuan Bajo, Kelor Island trekking/snorkelling, Menjerite snorkel spot, Kalong Island (lunch and dinner included)
The cruise departs Labuan Bajo for Kelor Island, where guests can either trek up to its viewpoint or snorkel around the island, then continues to the Menjerite snorkelling spot. The first night is spent on board near Kalong Island, known for the flying foxes that leave its mangroves at dusk.
Day 2: Padar Island trekking, Pink Beach, Komodo Island (all meals included)
The day starts with the climb up Padar Island for its view over three separate bays, followed by a stop at Pink Beach, coloured by red coral fragments in the sand. The boat then reaches Komodo Island for a ranger-guided trek to see Komodo dragons in their natural habitat.
Day 3: Komodo Island, Taka Makassar/Manta Point, Gili Laba Island (all meals included)
After a further stop on Komodo Island, the boat moves to Taka Makassar sandbar and Manta Point for snorkelling with manta rays, then continues to Gili Laba Island, known for its own hilltop viewpoint over a scattering of small bays.
Day 4: Gili Laba Island, Siaba Island, Kanawa Island, return to Labuan Bajo (breakfast and lunch included)
The final day covers Siaba Island and a last stop at Kanawa Island for swimming or snorkelling before the boat sails back to Labuan Bajo, where the three-night cruise ends and guests disembark for onward travel or a night in a Labuan Bajo hotel.
