7 Must Visit During Komodo Boat Tour around Komodo National Park
A Komodo National Park boat tour is more than just an encounter with the legendary Komodo dragon — it’s a journey through breathtaking islands, pink sand beaches, and crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life. Whether you’re joining a day trip or a 3D2N sailing tour from Labuan Bajo, there are 7 must visit destination that should be on every traveler’s itinerary.
In this guide, we’ll highlight the best places to visit in Komodo, each offering a unique experience you won’t want to miss.
1. Komodo Island
No Komodo trip is complete without a stop at Komodo Island itself. As the home of the world’s largest lizard, this UNESCO World Heritage Site allows you to walk with Komodo dragons under the supervision of experienced local rangers. In addition to the dragons, Komodo Island features lush hills, savannahs, and rich biodiversity. This island is one of the main attractions of any Komodo Island tour.
2. Padar Island
Next on the 7 must visit destination list is the iconic Padar Island, famous for its panoramic viewpoints. A short but steep hike rewards you with breathtaking views of the island’s three curved bays — each with different colored sand: white, black, and pink. It’s one of the most photographed spots in Komodo National Park, and a must for sunrise or sunset seekers.
3. Pink Beach
As one of only a few pink sand beaches in the world, Pink Beach is a highlight for many visitors. The soft rosy hue comes from crushed red coral mixed with white sand, creating a unique natural wonder. Snorkeling here is a must — with clear waters, colorful corals, and tropical fish, it’s perfect for underwater photography and swimming.
4. Taka Makassar
Taka Makassar is a tiny sandbank surrounded by shallow turquoise waters — it’s a favorite stop for drone shots and sunbathing. This unique destination only appears during low tide, making it a surreal and ephemeral place to visit during your Komodo boat tour. The waters are calm and shallow, ideal for a refreshing swim.
5. Manta Point
If swimming with manta rays is on your bucket list, Manta Point is a dream come true. This snorkeling hotspot offers the chance to see giant manta rays gliding through the water — especially during the dry season from April to October. Most Komodo sailing tours include this spot for an unforgettable wildlife encounter.
6. Kanawa Island
Located just outside the main park boundaries, Kanawa Island is a small paradise known for its tranquil beach and coral reefs just a few steps offshore. It’s an excellent spot for beginner snorkeling, relaxing on the beach, or enjoying a peaceful sunset before heading back to Labuan Bajo.
7.Kalong Island
End your day with a magical moment at Kalong Island, also known as Bat Island. Just before sunset, thousands of flying foxes emerge from the mangrove forest, filling the sky in dramatic silhouettes. It’s a quiet, peaceful experience — and a unique way to close your Komodo National Park boat tour.
Best Time to Take a Komodo Island Tour
The best time to join a Komodo tour package is during the dry season from April to November. During this period, the sea is calmer, and visibility for snorkeling or diving is excellent. Avoid the rainy season (December to March), when many boats stop operating due to rough seas.
If you want to see the dragons in full activity, September to November is ideal. For lush green hills on Padar Island, visit between March and May.
