Operated by Gili Recommended · Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara
A warm dawn over Labuan Bajo pushes color across a flat sea as the boat slips away from the jetties — salt on your skin, engines humming, and islands unspooling like chapters ahead. On this four-day circuit you move between volcanic ridgelines, coral gardens and grassy islets: morning treks to cliff viewpoints, midday snorkels in clear lagoons, and nights on deck under big sky.

4 days.
Moderate fitness: able to do short hikes (30–60 minutes), repeated snorkeling sessions, and board small boats.
No — the whale‑shark encounters are typically done by snorkeling; being a confident swimmer helps but certification is not required.
Park access and guide fees vary by operator; confirm with the ticketing partner whether entrance fees for Komodo National Park and ranger guides are included.
Open waters can be choppy between islands; bring motion‑sickness medication if you are prone to seasickness and choose a midship cabin if possible.
Cabin upgrades are sometimes available through the third‑party operator but must be checked and paid for in advance of departure.
Komodo National Park was established in 1980 to protect the Komodo dragon and surrounding marine ecosystems; it gained UNESCO World Heritage status in 1991 as part of global conservation efforts.
Visitors should follow strict park rules — no touching wildlife, stay with certified guides, and use reef‑safe products; tourism fees support ranger patrols and habitat protection.
