How do I add a quick Komodo trip to a Bali holiday?

Fly Denpasar to Labuan Bajo (about 1 hour 15 minutes), then join a shared speedboat day trip (USD 90 per person) or charter a private speedboat (from USD 800 per boat per day) to Komodo, Padar and Pink Beach. Park fees are extra.

When is the best time to see manta rays?

Komodo's dry season, April to November (peak June–September), brings calmer seas and clear water. Manta sightings vary with season and currents — ask us about your dates.

Do I need a guide on Komodo and Rinca?

Yes. Guided treks are mandatory for visitor safety on both islands.

Are there family-friendly options?

Yes — shorter transfers, comfortable boats, guided dragon treks, gentle snorkelling in calm water and safe beaches.

Where the tours go

Dragons, viewpoints, a pink beach and manta rays.

Komodo & Rinca

See dragons in the wild. Guided treks are mandatory; Rinca is often quieter.

A moderate hike to views over tri-coloured beaches.

Pink Beach

One of few pink beaches worldwide, great for snorkelling.

Manta Point & Kanawa

Swim with manta rays, then snorkel Kanawa's vibrant reefs.

Open trip or private

Share the boat or charter it

An open trip joins a scheduled departure — a cost-effective choice for solo travellers and small groups.

A private charter gives you the boat, the pace and the route. Ideal for divers, families and anyone after a luxury liveaboard.

Open trip: shared, scheduled, lower cost
Private charter: your route, your pace
