Experience the stunning Komodo National Park in a unique way, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This national park includes, among others, the three larger islands of Komodo, Rinca, and Padar. Due to its unique geographical location and volcanic activity, these islands boast a distinctive and spectacular flora and fauna. Think rolling savannahs, lush forests, white or pink beaches, and blue lagoons teeming with underwater life. Of course, you will also find the enormous Komodo dragons, which only live here in the wild.
The ultimate way to explore these islands is by private cruise aboard the luxury vessel Alexa. Wake up refreshed in your beautifully appointed cabin and indulge in delicious meals, so you can enjoy the islands to the fullest. The ship has approximately six crew members, including the captain, a private chef, a spa therapist, and a diving instructor. When booking, you can specify your preferences, allowing a tailored itinerary to be created based on your wishes.
Sample Program
Day 1: Welcome to Flores
Upon arrival at Flores Airport, you will be warmly welcomed and taken to the ship. You will get to know the vessel and the crew, and settle in at your own pace. Meanwhile, the ship will leave the harbor and sail to the first island, Siaba Besar, better known as Turtle Point. Enjoy the scenery around you while sipping a drink and a snack.
Upon arrival, you can first enjoy a freshly prepared lunch. Afterwards, you can go swimming in the clear waters. With a bit of luck, you may see sea turtles and other marine life. When the ship continues its journey to Komodo Island, you can indulge in a relaxing spa treatment onboard if you wish.
Relax on the deck with a delicious drink and enjoy the sunset, as the surroundings are painted in stunning colors. The ship will drop anchor, and you can look forward to a delightful dinner.
Day 2: Komodo Island
After an early, light breakfast, the adventure begins with a trek on Komodo Island. Walk through the savannahs in search of the legendary Komodo dragon. These giant lizards are still found only here in the national park in the wild. Due to the early start, there are no other tourists yet, and you will have this island all to yourself.
An experienced Park Ranger will accompany you. During the walk, he will gladly explain the island’s unique flora and fauna. And finally, you will come face to face with the impressive Komodo dragon.
Back on the ship, a well-deserved brunch awaits you. The rest of the day, you can relax and enjoy the views while the ship sets course for Pink Beach.
Day 3: Pink Beach
In the early afternoon, you arrive at Pink Beach and embark on an exploration. Walk along the stunning beach and discover, while snorkeling in the warm waters, how beautiful the underwater world is here.
Back on board, you can relax comfortably on the deck or indulge in another delightful massage. Once again, the sunset is breathtaking, with the hills of Komodo Island in the background. End the day with a delicious five-course dinner under the stars.
Day 4: Manta Point
After breakfast, one of the most famous diving spots in this region is on the schedule: Manta Point. Snorkeling or diving here is an experience you will never forget. Not only will you discover a stunning underwater world, but the highlight will be the manta rays gracefully swimming beneath you.
Your diving or snorkeling gear will not yet be packed away, as after lunch, another special location is on the agenda. Here, you can snorkel or dive surrounded by sea turtles, but also barracudas, white-tip reef sharks, and with some luck, dugongs or dolphins.
End the day in style and relaxation with a delicious dinner on the deck.
Day 5: End of the cruise
In the early morning, the ship departs back to Labuang Bajo on Flores. Enjoy one last delicious fresh breakfast on the deck, surrounded by the stunning water landscape. Upon arrival at the harbor, a transfer will be ready to take you to the airport, where this unforgettable tour comes to an end.
