Snorkeling in Komodo

pelagic tour little fish

Sailing, snorkeling, and hiking on a sailing boat in Komodo National Park.

The Komodo National Park is famous with the global diving community for its abundance of fish and corals. Pelagic Tour proposes an amazing itinerary for non-divers, which combines great snorkeling with hiking and a visit to a local fisherman’s village.

Itinerary

On Day 1 

Upon arrival at Labuanbajo airport, west flores, we purchase our ‘conservation tag’ to enter the Komodo National Park. After we settle in on board, our SCHPOUNTZ will depart to the exotic island of kelor, fringed by a beautiful beach and spectacular reef. This site makes perfect snorkeling, being around 2 meters deep. We have a general ships’ briefing to familiarize you with the vessel and our safety and emergency procedures.

Later in the afternoon, we spend some time ashore to meet the local people in the village and listen to their stories. We finish our day enjoying the sunset and the magnificent spectacle of the island’s thousands of bats taking flight. We spend the night at the mooring.

 

On Day 2

We go ashore and take a hike inland on Rinca Island to spot the famous Komodo Dragon. Once we are back aboard, we sail to uninhabited island fringed with a sloping reef which has colorful hard and soft coral growth with abundant sponges and marine life. We will have a nice snorkeling session there.

After that, our vessel sails a short distance to an anchorage just north of the island of Padar. This beautiful island is surrounded by a fantastic pink beach and beautiful corals. We will spend few hours relaxing here and spend our night at peaceful anchor under starry tropical skies.

 

On Day 3

After breakfast, we will go ashore and take a hike inland on Komodo island. Here, in addition to komodo dragons, we will have the opportunity to spot deer, buffalo and many different kinds of birds such as parrots. After that, we snorkel the beautiful reef of Pantai Merah. The sand of the beach is pink due to the red color of the nearby coral. On the reef along this beautiful beach expect to see brilliant hard coral formations and a dazzling array of fish.

After lunch, we will sail to Karang Makasar, on the west of Komodo Island. This expansive reef is one of the best places to spot manta rays in the National Park and snorkelers have rarely been disappointed. In late afternoon, we will move a short distance to anchor for the night, in a quiet bay located on the west coast of Flores.

 

On Day 4

After breakfast, we say farewell to the captain and crew and we transfer you to the airport for the return flight to Bali or to any other destination.
