See the famous Komodo Dragons up close with this 2-day tour from Labuan Bajo of the Indonesian islands where these gigantic reptiles live.
Komodo Island 2 Day Tour
Day 1: Labuan Bajo - Bidadari – Rinca – Padar – Kalong
Having picked you up at your hotel or the Labuan Bajo airport, whichever you prefer, the tour makes its way to the Western part of the island to embark on a ferry to Bidadari island. Once you disembark, you'll have free time to snorkel in the crystal clear water.
Our tour then continues south to Rinca island, where we'll begin a hiking trail lasting approximately two hours. This is where you'll be able to see the famous Komodo Dragons of the islands. Their enormous size has given rise to any number of myths and legends throughout the ages, and you'll have the opportunity to confirm those stories for yourself! And as well as these legendary beasts, you'll have to keep your eyes open for any number of local species, such as the exotic birds and mammals which hide around every corner.
With our guided hike around Rinca complete, we head back on board, on the way to the island of Padar. Here we'll climb up its highest peak, to be delighted by the spectacular views of this dream island. We'll fuel up with dinner on board, then take up the route again, on our way to Kalong Island. Here we'll see the so-called 'flying foxes' (the largest species of bat in the world) indigenous to this part of Indonesia, which can weigh up to 1.6 kg.
The day then ends with dinner on the boat, where we'll spend the night.
Day 2: Komodo Island – Labuan Bajo
Having eaten breakfast on board we'll disembark on Komodo Island, admiring once more the different kinds of reptiles which, thanks to their colossal size, have for centuries been known as 'dragons'. As well as getting up close and personal with the local wildlife, we'll visit Pink Beach another of the natural wonders of the island. We'll eat lunch on board the boat, then the cherry on the cake comes in the form of a tour around Komodo, snorkelling in its crystalline waters - where if you're lucky you may even see a manta ray!
Finally, we'll head back to Labuan Bajo. After disembarking at 4 pm, your guide will take you back to your hotel.

Having picked you up at your hotel or the Labuan Bajo airport, we make our way by road to the boat due to take you to Kelor Island. After free time to snorkel off the coast we'll climb back on board to sail to Rinca Island, where we'll take a two hour hiking trail, to see the famous Komodo Dragons - learning about their origins, habitat, and behaviour up close.
After lunch on board, we'll sail the clear waters of the Flores sea to Padar Island whose tropical landscapes are sure to captivate from the very first moment! Then we'll head to Kalong Island, to see the famous 'flying fox' bats who call the island their home. Then the day ends back at Labuan Bajo, with dinner and accommodation in a four-star hotel on its Western coast.
Day 2: Labuan Bajo – Bidadari – Komodo Island – Labuan
Full of energy we'll launch from the Labuan Bajo port to Bidadari Island, where you'll snorkel in the crystal clear waters off the coast, delighted by the wealth of wildlife.
