Expand All

Day 1: Komodo | Embark

Taking the early morning flight from Bali, you are met at the airport in Komodo by your tour leaders and be taken straight to your boat. And as you settle into your new home, head to your first snorkeling spot.

Note: Please be aware that this itinerary is designed to be flexible. The aim to follow the schedule as described, but due to weather, tides, preferences of trip members, and other factors such as the learning of the opportunity to investigate exciting new discoveries, can sometimes need to change course. The boat captain and your Trip Leader make the decisions to maximize trip safety and your overall enjoyment—come prepared to be flexible!

Day 2: Komodo Island | Dragons & Turtles

Go ashore to search for the fearsome Komodo dragons, found only in Komodo National Park. These are the world’s largest lizards, growing up to three meters long and weighing around 70 kilograms. Enjoy snorkeling on some of the park’s most vibrant reefs, including a favorite spot for sea turtles, where there is a chance to swim alongside these gentle reptiles as they glide through the shallow waters.

Day 3-4: Sangeang Island | Sumbawa Island

Wake up off the coast of a beautiful, uninhabited island with a beach of pure white sand with some sparkles of powdered red coral, creating the effect of a “pink beach.” Spend the morning here, swimming, paddle boarding, and snorkeling on the beautiful coral reef that lies parallel to the beach. Cruise to a nearby active volcanic island where you can enjoy a unique snorkeling experience where volcanic gases escape in the form of bubbles from the sea floor among the corals, with the metallic black volcanic sand below being home to an abundance of very interesting invertebrates. Spend the day at a strange and mystical volcanic island with a sunken crater lake in its center that was filled with saltwater when the nearby Mt Tambora catastrophically erupted in 1815. Here you can swim, kayak, and paddleboard on the lake.

Day 5-6: Sumbawa Island| Moyo Island

Prepare for an exhilarating opportunity to swim with whale sharks, the majestic, gentle giants of the sea. These massive but harmless animals have long congregated here in the bay, but now, thanks to travelers like you, there is a mutually beneficial alliance with the local fishermen who have their traditional small floating fishing platforms in the bay that attract the sharks. No sightings can be guaranteed, as these are wild animals roaming freely, but with some luck, they may appear. Visit the beautiful village on Moyo Island for an amazing experience. Walk to the stunning waterfall and enjoy a refreshing dip in the cool water.

Day 7-8: Sangeang Island | Re-entry, Komodo National Park

Visit a nearby active volcanic island where you can encounter a large wooden pinisi boat with the same pedigree and history as SeaTrek’s very own ships being built on the beach. Walking around this small village, get a feel for their simple way of life, chat with the locals, and maybe buy some handmade textiles as a souvenir. Entering the Komodo National Park again, you can go snorkelling and beachcombing. You can have the opportunity to participate in the coral restoration program, where you could see how the corals and fish populations have grown since they were first transplanted in 2015. Experience one of the famous SeaTrek beach BBQs under a night sky filled with millions of stars as you feast on the fantastic local delicacies prepared by our chef, all accompanied by live musical entertainment from the talented crew.

Day 9: Melo Village | Disembark

  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch
After breakfast on your last day, take on a scenic drive towards Melo Village, where you witness the traditional Caci dance performance. Local strongmen perform a ritual whip-fight between two rivals in which the players, each armed with a rattan shield and a whip, try to hit each other while dancing to the rhythm of traditional acoustic instruments. After lunch on the boat, you say farewell to the crew and your fellow shipmates as you disembark and continue onto your next destination.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
