Itineraries
KOMODO 7D/6N
DAY 1: LABUAN BAJO
You will be met at Labuan Bajo airport by Mischief’s crew and transferred to the harbour, a 15-minute drive. After you have settled in onboard, Mischief will set sail from Labuan Bajo and cruise to the outskirts of the National Park while you enjoy lunch on deck. If time allows, you may enjoy a check dive or a snorkel at Saboyer Island, an ideal spot to relax on the beach or toast the sunset with a cocktail.
DAY 2: RINCA ISLAND & KOMODO STRAIGHT
Although lesser known than neighboring Komodo Island, Rinca is an excellent place to observe Komodo dragons, as well as the monkey population and a vast array of birdlife. This morning, you can stroll through the park with a ranger early in the morning and catch sight of the famed endemic dragons. This afternoon, you may submerge at underwater sites in northern Rinca, relax on a sandy beach flecked with tiny shells and pink coral, or explore nearby coves. Nestled in the channel between Komodo Island and Flores, the dive sites of Tatawa Besar and Kecil offer bustling coral reefs and pelagic encounters.
DAY 3: PULAU PADAR & CENTRAL KOMODO
Set between Rinca and Komodo in the central region of the national park, you’ll find the picturesque island of Padar. A sheltered bay on the southeast side of the island makes for a beautiful anchorage, set in the shadow of the dramatic craggy peaks of Padar, and within reach of excellent diving and snorkelling sites. Central Komodo’s nutrient-rich waters attract enormous shoals of schooling fish among deep pinnacles and current swept walls that are widely renowned as some of the best underwater sights in Indonesia. The bay of Padar is also a wonderful spot for enjoying powdery soft shores and panoramic island views, and your crew may set up a freshly prepared seafood grill on the beach, where you can recline on comfortable cushions and rugs in the glow of candlelight.
DAY 4: SOUTH RINCA
South Rinca is home to the famous Horse Shoe Bay, also known as Nusa Kode, where you can see fierce Komodo dragons patrolling a beach backed by thick forest inhabited by monkeys, deer, wild boar and fish eagles. The landscape here is markedly different to that of central Komodo, with sheer peaks rising into whirls of cloud. Worthy underwater spots here include Cannibal Rock, one of the world’s most famous macro sites and home to all manner of critters such as pygmy seahorses and colourful nudibranches. This is also an exciting area to take the tender out for a cruise along the foot of dramatic rock formations.
DAY 5: SOUTH WEST KOMODO
Today, you will have a chance to visit the well-known Manta Point, located in the south west of Komodo. This is home to the famous Manta cleaning station, and you’ll have the opportunity to swim surrounded by Manta rays as they circle around you in an underwater ballet. Known as the most active area in all of Komodo because of its topography, three rocks in this deep bay are covered in an array of vibrant soft and hard coral gardens and home to large numbers of fish, including species such as Tuna, Napoleon, Wrasse, Barracuda, and many more. After lunch onboard, you’ll spend the afternoon beach combing or cruising hidden coves and tropical mangroves on the tender, finishing the day with another spectacular sunset in a private bay.
DAY 6: GILI LAWA LAUT & GILI LAWA DARAT
Today Mischief will anchor on the northwestern edge of Komodo, near the Gili Lawa islands. These two islands are home to some of Komodo's most famous dive sites, including Castle and Crystal Rock, Shotgun, The Passage and Lighthouse. Theses sites are home to a myriad of schooling fish and critters alike. The islands also offer stretches of private beaches for relaxing on between underwater pursuits, and a steep trek to the top of Gili Lawa Darat rewards guests with one of the most stunning vistas, stretching off the northern side of the Komodo National Park into the distance, and makes for a wonderful signature Komodo sunset.
DAY 7: LABUAN BAJO
This morning, Mischief will return to the port of Labuan Bajo. After a farewell breakfast onboard, your crew will assist you with disembarking and escort you to the airport to catch your flight home.
