After returning to the boat for breakfast, continue to Pink Beach, famous for its rare pink-tinted sand created by crushed red coral fragments. Relax on the beach or snorkel among vibrant marine life.
The journey continues to Komodo Island, home of the legendary Komodo dragon. Accompanied by a licensed local ranger, you will take a guided trek to observe the world’s largest lizard along with other wildlife such as deer, wild boar, macaques, and exotic bird species.
After lunch onboard, sail to Manta Point in search of manta rays. Snorkeling here offers the chance to swim alongside these gentle giants in their natural environment (sightings depend on weather and season).
Before returning to Labuan Bajo, visit Taka Makassar, a beautiful white sandbank surrounded by shallow turquoise waters — a perfect final stop to relax and take photos.

Best Time to Visit Komodo National Park
Komodo National Park can be visited year-round, but the best time for a 2 days 1 night Komodo tour is during the dry season from April to October. During this period, the weather is generally sunny, sea conditions are calmer, and visibility for snorkeling is excellent.
Manta rays are commonly seen between December and March, although sightings are never guaranteed as they are wild marine animals.
