Leave the bustling city of Singapore behind for the blue waters and wildlife of Komodo National Park. Fly to Labuan Bajo via Jakarta, where you will embark on your private schooner. This marine reserve is comprised of three major islands, Komodo, Rinca and Padar, plus numerous smaller islands, some of which are uninhabited. The park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986, an honor that recognizes the importance of this rich underwater world, which is home to more than 1,000 species of fish, 260 species of coral, 70 species of sponges, as well as dugongs, sharks, manta rays, dolphins, sea turtles and at least 14 species of whales. Sail to a secluded anchorage surrounded by dramatic vertical walls amongst Komodo’s most rugged and naturally wild landscapes. Snorkel and dive on walls blooming with color and life.
Go for a ‘dragon walk’ at Rinca Island to see the infamous Komodo lizard. The reptiles, which grow to an average length of six to 10 feet and weigh around 150 pounds, live on only three remote islands in the world – Komodo, Rinca, and Flores. Spend the afternoon underwater, exploring the plentiful aquatic life. You may even have the chance to see the elusive (and not threatening) whale shark. Dozens of species of fish also make their way here.
Awaken to the magnificent scenery of sheer escarpments surrounding Nusa Kode Island famed for its spectacular diving and snorkeling. Dive Cannibal Rock, Yellow Walls. Afternoon beach stop at Langkoi with possibility to swim with Mantas.
Today enjoy the many activities Padar Island has to offer: sea kayaking, water skiing, diving and snorkeling. If you prefer to walk and discover the surrounding fauna, take the opportunity to observe many kinds of birds in their natural environment.
Begin the morning with a final snorkeling trip and enjoy brunch as your schooner cruises back to Labuan Bajo. Fly back to Singapore via Jakarta.
