Komodo & Lombok Experience : July 18th to 27th
This ultimate Indonesian adventure brings together two of Indonesia’s most captivating island experiences —the rugged beauty of Komodo National Park and the relaxed coastal charm of Lombok.
The journey begins in Labuan Bajo, gateway to Komodo. Over a multi-day sailing experience, guests explore remote islands with dramatic landscapes and rich marine life. Highlights include Padar Island viewpoints, visits to Komodo and Rinca to see the legendary Komodo dragons, and swimming and snorkelling with Manta Rays.
The journey then continues to Lombok, offering a slower, more laid-back contrast. From the beaches of Kuta Lombok to the coastline of Senggigi, and north to Senaru’s waterfalls beneath Mount Rinjani, the island blends natural beauty with authentic local life.
