More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Boarding in the heat of a Flores morning, the boat slips into a sea that changes tone with every mile—pale turquoise at the reef edges, deep indigo beyond. The first day opens with jagged islets and a short hike on Kelor for a photo-ready ridge view; evenings are for Kalong Island where flying foxes wheel across the sky like living clouds.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Local reefs are sensitive—use reef-safe sunscreen and apply before boarding to protect coral and reduce on-boat mess.
Practice open-water swimming
Snorkel stops at Manta Point and Manjarite require comfort in currents and choppy water; weak swimmers should use life jackets.
Pack a headlamp and dry bag
Cabin lighting is limited and landings are wet—dry bags protect phones and documents, headlamps help on early hikes.
Carry local currency and passport copy
You’ll need cash for small purchases in Labuan Bajo and a passport for park entry and boat manifest checks.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects coral ecosystems and reduces skin irritation under tropical sun.
Snorkel mask and fins
A well-fitting mask improves visibility and fins make longer snorkel swims more comfortable.
Sturdy water shoes
Protect feet during rocky landings and on uneven hiking trails like Padar.
Light waterproof jacket
Useful if unexpected rains or spray hit while transiting between islands.
