Itinerary

1. Starting early in the morning from Labuan Bajo, we’ll pick you up directly from your hotel and take you to the harbor, where your adventure begins. From the jetty, you'll board a comfortable speed boat and head off to explore the natural wonders of Komodo National Park — with fewer crowds and more time to enjoy each destination. Trekking on Padar Island is one of the highlights of any Komodo tour. After a short hike up the island’s rugged trail, you’ll be rewarded with one of the most iconic views in Indonesia — a stunning panorama of three curved bays with beaches in different colors: white, black, and pink. The trek takes about 20–30 minutes and is manageable for most fitness levels, especially with short breaks along the way. Sunrise or early morning is the best time to go, with cooler temperatures and soft golden light perfect for photos. Don’t forget your camera — this is one view you’ll want to remember!

2. Pink Beach isn’t just beautiful on the surface — the underwater world here is just as stunning. With clear, calm waters and vibrant coral gardens, it’s the perfect spot for snorkeling. You’ll swim among colorful reef fish, soft corals, and maybe even spot a turtle or two if you’re lucky. The pink sand, created by crushed red coral mixed with white sand, makes it a picture-perfect stop both above and below the water.
