- Day 1
Labuan Bajo to Kanawa Island
Plan to arrive on the 8:00 AM Batik Air flight from Bali, landing at 9:10 AM in Labuan Bajo. After boarding your boat at the harbor, you'll head to Kanawa Island for snorkeling. The day's highlight is Manta Point where you can swim with graceful manta rays. As one traveler put it: "The snorkeling sites are beautiful and packed with life of many varieties – this genuinely fulfilled a childhood dream for me."
- Day 2
Padar Island and Rinca
Get up early for the Padar Island sunrise trek. Just know that sunrise draws big crowds, often hundreds of people. A good alternative is visiting in the afternoon when there are fewer people and better photo opportunities. After that, go snorkeling at Pink Beach before visiting the Komodo dragons on Rinca Island. Your day ends at Kalong Island watching thousands of flying foxes emerge from the mangroves at sunset. One TourRadar traveler noted: "Watching the flying foxes emerge from their mangrove dwellings in their hundred thousands is a spectacle not to be missed."
- Day 3
Kelor Island and Return
Visit Kelor Island for photos in the morning but expect tourist crowds and souvenir vendors. Late morning takes you to Manjarite Island for excellent snorkeling. Bring an underwater camera to capture the vibrant marine life. You'll return to Labuan Bajo in the afternoon.
- Day 1
Bali to Gili Trawangan
Start early with a 6:00-7:00 AM hotel pickup in Bali for transfer to Padang Bay port. Pack light and consider motion sickness tablets for the 1.5-hour fast boat ride since morning waters can be rough. Once you're settled in your Gili Trawangan hotel take a bike tour around the car-free island. The east side has smooth paths while the west can get sandy. One traveler shares: "The island bike tour gives you a perfect orientation though half the way you needed to push the bike by feet along the beach."
- Day 2
Snorkeling and Gili Meno
Start with morning snorkeling when visibility is best and you're most likely to spot sea turtles. The tour stops at several spots including the underwater sculptures near Gili Meno. Spend your afternoon exploring Gili Meno's peaceful beaches which offer a quieter atmosphere than Trawangan. Back on Gili T the beachfront nightlife features live music bars. If you're staying near the main area bring earplugs since the music often plays late.
- Day 3
Final Morning and Return to Bali
Get to the beach swings before 9:00 AM to avoid crowds and take great photos. Most hotels have noon checkout but check your fast boat schedule since times can change with weather. The return to Bali's Padang Bay takes about 1.5 hours plus transfer time to your Denpasar hotel.
- Day 1
Labuan Bajo to Rinca Island
Take the 7:30 AM flight from Bali (GA7026) to arrive in Labuan Bajo at 9:05 AM. Your guide will meet you at the harbor to begin your journey. The first stop is Kelor Island for a morning trek. Make sure to wear sturdy shoes with good grip since the trails can get slippery in wet season. "The boat tour was very organized and interesting. We were able to see many different locations and the boat team was excellent." Head to Rinca Island after lunch for your first look at Komodo dragons. The dragons are most active in the early afternoon making it the best time to spot them. End your day at Kalong Island to watch thousands of flying foxes take flight from the mangroves at sunset.
- Day 2
Padar Island and Pink Beach
Get an early start at 3 AM to reach Padar Island for sunrise. Bring a light jacket since mornings on the boat can be cool. The Padar trek takes about 2 hours total and you'll need at least 1 liter of water per person. There's no shade on the trail so plan accordingly. In the afternoon you'll visit the Pink Beach and go snorkeling at Manta Point. One visitor shared: "Swimming with giant manta rays was incredible. The guide was a great photographer both above and under water and captured so many moments."
- Day 3
Kanawa Island to Labuan Bajo
Have breakfast while anchored at Kanawa Island. The morning offers great snorkeling right off the beach with plenty of colorful fish on the nearby reef. You'll return to Labuan Bajo harbor by noon in time for afternoon flights.
