Day-to-day Itinerary

Day 1: LABUAN BAJO ARRIVAL - RINCA ISLAND - KALONG ISLAND (-/ L/ D). Upon arrival at Komodo airport of Labuan Bajo West Flores, our local guide will meet you then transfer to Golo sea view restaurant for lunch. After lunch drive down to Labuan Bajo harbour, continue embarking on a motorized fisherman’s wooden boat to Rinca Island, takes 3 hours. Arrive at Loh Buaya Rinca Island, follow the trail until we reach the Forestry Conservation Post for visitors’ ID registration. Continue trekking inland for approx 3 hours in search for Komodo Dragons in their natural habitats. Scientists call this giant reptile as “Varanus Komodoensis” while local people call it as “ORA’. Usually some of these reptiles stay around under the stage of ranger’s houses. Other visible wild-life on this island includes water buffalos, wild boar, deer, monkey, and various colourful birds. At a higher view point Rinca offers a spectacular view over the island’s landscapes and the sea. Trek down back to boat and sailing towards Kalong Island. At late afternoon all Kalong (=flying foxes) flying out to hunt for evening meals and will return the next early morning. Dinner and stay overnight ON BOARD (well organized for your comfort).

Day 2: KALONG ISLAND - KOMODO ISLAND - PINK BEACH - LABUAN BAJO (B/ L/ D). Breakfast on boat while sailing closer to Loh Liang station then take an hour mild trekking to Banugulung--former feeding ground to see the Komodo Dragons in the wild. During our way into the “Jurassic Park” you may see colourful birds, wild boar, deer, and other natural livings. Since feeding activity was stopped some years ago as to let the Komodo Dragons going back into their natural habitats, opportunity to see the Komodo Dragon itself is quite a wait and patient. On our way back to the boat have a short stop at Komodo cafe as to allow you do some shopping for Komodo branded T’ shirt, hat, key hanger, statue and a lot more are on display. Similar to Rinca, at Komodo also there are still several Komodo Dragon stays around under the rangers’ house. Back to boat for having lunch while sailing to Pantai Merah (=Pink Beach). Here you can spend sometimes for snorkeling or swimming in the clear crystal water--a lot of beautiful coral reefs and colorful fishes to explore beneath this sea, or just having sun bathing on beautiful pink sandy beach. Sail back to Labuan Bajo and transfer to your hotel. Dinner serves at Golo sea view restaurant. Stay overnight at Golo Hilltop or Bajo Eco Lodge.
