Labuan Bajo: 6 Island Komodo Speedboat Day Trip & Snorkeling

Visit Padar Island, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Manta Point, Taka Makassar and a turtle reef six stops in one day, by luxury speedboat with a guide and GoPro included for underwater documentation
Most day trips out of Labuan Bajo run on wooden boats. They are pleasant, but slow and slow means you spend most of your day watching the engine push water, and reach three or four stops if the sea is kind. This trip runs on a speedboat. Same day, same money, six stops.

Padar Island — the view you came for
You start early, in the first park session of the morning. The climb to the Padar viewpoint takes around 40 minutes on a stepped trail, and it opens onto the three bays that everyone recognises from photographs. Going early means cooler air, softer light, and a ridge that is not yet full of people.

Pink Beach — snorkelling straight off the sand
The pink comes from crushed red coral mixed into white sand, and the reef begins a few metres from shore. Your crew goes in with you and points out what is worth looking at, rather than handing you a mask and waiting on deck.

Komodo Island — the dragons, with a ranger
A licensed national park ranger meets you at the jetty and walks with your group through dragon habitat. You will also see deer, wild boar, and, if you are lucky, the monitor lizards up close in the shade near the ranger station. The walk is flat and takes about an hour.

Manta Point — the highlight nobody can promise
Manta rays feed in this channel and are seen on most trips, but they are wild animals and no operator can guarantee them. What we can guarantee is that you enter the water with a guide who knows the current here, and that we do not rush you out after five minutes.

Taka Makassar — a sandbank in the middle of the sea
A crescent of white sand that appears and disappears with the tide, ringed by turquoise shallow water. Twenty minutes here, mostly for photographs and standing in water up to your knees.

Turtle spot — the last stop before home
A calm reef where green turtles graze. Shallow, easy, and the gentlest snorkelling of the day — a good place to finish.

What the day feels like
Pickup is early and the pace is real, but you are back in Labuan Bajo in daylight, not at ten at night. Lunch is served on board between stops. Water and snacks are there whenever you want them. Group size is capped at 15 so nobody is queueing for a mask.

About the park fee
The Komodo National Park entrance and conservation fees are set by the government and are not included in the price shown here. You pay them in cash on the day of the trip, at the park. We tell you the exact amount before you book instead of leaving you to find out at the pier: IDR 400,000 per international visitor and IDR 250,000 per Indonesian visitor. Bring this in Indonesian rupiah in cash — there is no card payment and no ATM once you leave Labuan Bajo..

We are a licensed Indonesian tour operator with an office in Labuan Bajo, not an agent reselling someone else's boat. The boat you see in the photographs is the boat you sail on.
