Bali & Komodo: Between the Islands

Island viewpoints, sheltered bays and Komodo dragons, then a different stretch of coast on Nusa Penida. Eight days exploring more of Indonesia’s islands.

Fly from Bali to Labuan Bajo for a day on the water: look out across the bays from Padar, visit a pink-sand beach and join a local guide in search of Komodo dragons. Back in Bali, Nusa Penida brings another coastline to explore. Between the two boat trips, there is time ashore to rest.

Bays beyond the ridge

Walk to a viewpoint on Padar and see the bays unfold below. A pink-sand beach offers a closer look at the colours of the shoreline.

Komodo’s natural world

Explore with a local guide in search of Komodo dragons. Snorkelling follows the day’s route and sea conditions; wildlife sightings are never guaranteed.

Days at sea, nights on land

One day trip in the Komodo area and another to Nusa Penida, with flights and free time between them. Accommodation is in land-based hotels, not on a liveaboard.
