This 6-day Komodo expedition sails round-trip from Labuan Bajo and offers up to 15 dives in one of Indonesia’s most dynamic dive regions. After embarkation, the trip begins with check dives and a possible night dive, setting the tone for a compact yet diverse adventure. Diving focuses on Central and North Komodo, combining colorful coral gardens, manta cleaning stations, drift dives, and high-energy sites influenced by strong currents. Expect excellent visibility, dense fish life, reef sharks, trevallies, and frequent manta encounters, along with iconic sites such as Batu Bolong, Castle Rock, and The Cauldron. Between dives, the itinerary includes scenic hikes at Padar and Gili Lawa viewpoints, a visit to Pink Beach, and an optional land excursion to see Komodo dragons on Rinca. The journey concludes back in Labuan Bajo after a well-balanced mix of diving and topside highlights.
