Komodo National Park And Sumbawa

  • Overview

    Just a short flight from the beaches of Bali, Komodo National Park is a place of truly diverse natural beauty and incredible wildlife. Offering signature pink-sand beaches and some of the world’s best diving, it’s a destination that won’t disappoint. Teeming with sea life, Komodo National Park’s plentiful coral reefs are considered some of the best in all of Indonesia. Dolphins and manta rays are common sightings, and the area is also on a whale migration route. The grassy sloped islands that make up the park offer visitors gentle trekking trails and beautiful beaches to relax on, as well as the opportunity to see the famous Komodo dragons, the largest living lizards on the planet.

    This 10-night itinerary in Komodo aboard the luxurious Lamima, the world’s largest wooden sailing yacht, is an extraordinary glimpse into Indonesia.

  • Itinerary
    • Day 1 - Gili Lawa Laut

      On arrival at the airport, our crew will transfer you to Lamima. During lunch, the yacht will set sail for Gili Lawa Laut. There we will anchor in a secluded bay with stunning scenery close to some of the most exciting dive sites in Indonesia. These waters are teeming with incredible marine life. Dive or snorkel with schools of fish including trevally, groupers, sweetlips, barracudas, and white tip reef sharks. In the afternoon, enjoy a hike to a spectacular viewpoint with Lamima anchored in the bay. For any afternoon arrivals, the yacht will sail to a nearby island called Papangga instead of Gili Lawa Laut. Spend this afternoon enjoying watersports or easing into a leisurely Indonesian pace on deck.

    • Day 2 - Mt. Sangeang Island

      Sangeang is an active volcano with amazing topography. Reefs are excellent here with good visibility and volcanic black sand among colorful soft and hard corals and different types of anemones. Dive on Hot Rock Reef on the active volcano, surrounded by harmless, incredible sulfur bubbles from a natural underwater vent. Enjoy the option of a beautiful hike in the afternoon inside a canyon.

    • Day 3 - Moyo Island

      This island has a beautiful dive site with plenty of marine life and a healthy reef. In the afternoon, after a short ride, visit a lovely local village en route to a stunning river with a multi-terraced waterfall. Enjoy a bit of time for a swim and relaxation in a natural bath.

    • Day 4 - Saleh Bay

      Teluk Saleh has attracted recent attention as whale sharks have been spotted in the bay and remained in the area. With the help of a local guide, we find the best time to swim among these gentle giants.

    • Day 5 - Satonda

      Satonda Island was formed with the eruption of Mt. Tambora, the second largest volcano eruption ever recorded. The surrounding beaches in Satonda are perfect for spending the afternoon snorkeling and paddleboarding. This is also an ideal area to see pygmy seahorses and a wide variety of marine life.

    • Day 6 - Toro Mabalang

      This beautiful white sand beach looks slightly pink due to the red coral in the area. This sheltered bay is the perfect spot to enjoy watersports, beachcombing, and a nighttime barbecue. Snorkelers and divers will enjoy the beautiful waters and colorful corals. At sunset, go for a stroll above the beach to admire the anchorage with Lamima and the volcano in the background.

    • Day 7 - Gili Banta

      Today’s calling point is the perfect spot for a relaxed day of walks on the long, white sand beach. Or perhaps enjoy some watersports in a sheltered bay surrounded by beautiful scenery, as jet skiing is allowed in this area. With its hard coral gardens, this is a great place for shallow and drift diving with the possibility of swimming with manta rays.

    • Day 8 - Toro Monco

      During an early cruise to North Komodo, stop on Teluk Boko to spot Komodo dragons on the beach; these animals are the largest living lizard on earth and can weigh up to 300 pounds. Then continue the journey as Lamima drops anchor in front of Toro Monco, a beautiful white sandy beach sheltered in a majestic bay in the Northwest of the Komodo National Park. It is an excellent diving spot and perfect for watersports.

    • Day 9 - South Rinca And Padar

      In the morning, sail to South Rinca, one of the region’s best dive sites, and experience the best of what Komodo National Park has to offer. Swim with nudibranch, turtles, sea snakes and frogfish among some of the most colorful corals in Indonesia. Before lunch, tender to shore for another opportunity view Komodo dragons. During lunch, the yacht moves to Padar Island to hike the iconic islands of Komodo National Park. After an afternoon of watersports, enjoy a sunset hike to see the three majestic bays.

    • Day 10 - Bidadari

      Early in the day, Lamima will cruise to Tatawa Besar. This is a great opportunity to see many turtles while diving or snorkeling. After lunch, Lamima’s crew will hoist all the sails and cruise towards Bidadari for an afternoon of watersports.

    • Day 11 - Labuan Bajo

      After brunch, the yacht will move to Labuan Bajo where the crew will transfer you back to the airport for your onward journey.
