2-day 1-night shared cruise itinerary

Cruise itinerary and visits

Exploring the islands of Kelor, Manjarite, and Rinca.

  • Pick-up from your Labuan Bajo hotel or the airport between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM, followed by a transfer to the harbor. The cruise is scheduled to depart between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM.
  • Trek up the hills of Kelor Island—a short 5-minute hike rewards you with a stunning panoramic view of the entire island. You can also enjoy snorkeling near the shore or simply relax on the pristine white sand beach.
  • Manjarite Island is a prime snorkeling spot located near Kelor, featuring calm, shallow, and crystal-clear waters. Here, you will encounter a variety of colorful tropical fish. The wooden pier also provides a perfect backdrop for beautiful photos.
  • Rinca Island is a natural habitat of the Komodo dragon. You will enjoy a jungle trek to spot these ancient lizards and their nests. The island is also home to other wildlife, including water buffalo, deer, and wild boar.

Exploring the wonders of Padar Island, Pink Beach, Manta Point, and Taka Makassar.

  • Early in the morning, you will land on Padar Island and begin the hike up the stairs to the summit. From there, you can take in the world-famous panoramic views and capture some truly memorable photos.
  • Pink Beach, also known as Long Beach, is the perfect spot to relax on unique rose-tinted sands. After soaking up the sun, you can go snorkeling to discover the stunning local fish and vibrant coral reefs.
  • We head to Manta Point to encounter the majestic manta rays. Known for their friendly nature, these giants love swimming against the current to feed. You might see them playing at the surface or gliding along the seabed. Since there is no beach or island here, you will jump straight from the boat into the water the moment we spot them.
  • Located near Manta Point, Taka Makassar (or Gusung Island) is a small, secluded sandbar with white sand, perfect for watching the sunset. Due to the strong currents here, snorkeling is reserved for experienced swimmers only and must be done accompanied by a guide.
  • You will arrive back in Labuan Bajo between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM, followed by a drop-off at your hotel.

Documentation & Photography

Complimentary cruise photos and videos

A professional photographer will join you for part of the trip to document your experience (Photos and Videos using Camera, Drone, and GoPro). All footage will be provided to you free of charge via a download link at the end of the cruise.

Note

*The itinerary is subject to change based on weather, natural conditions, and operational or logistical constraints.

*Manta ray sightings are not guaranteed, as they depend on weather and sea conditions.
