This tour focuses on experiencing two major highlights of Komodo National Park: the iconic viewpoint from Padar Island and seeing Komodo dragons in their natural habitat. Be prepared for an early start and a moderately strenuous day.
Itinerary
Early Morning (4:30 AM – 5:00 AM): Pick-up from your hotel in Labuan Bajo and transfer to the harbor.
Padar Island: Hike to the summit to enjoy the panoramic views of the three bays with different colored sands. This is the iconic viewpoint of Komodo National Park. Use trekking shoes because the trek is slippery and steep hill.
Komodo Island: Trek to see the Komodo dragons in their natural habitat. A ranger will guide you on the trek to keep you safe from any potential Komodo encounters. You can also explore the island’s dry forest and NTT-style savanna.
Afternoon: After Komodo Island, you may have time for a short visit to another nearby attraction, such as Pink Beach or Taka Makassar, depending on the tour you choose and the time available.
Late Afternoon: Return to Labuan Bajo.
