Padar, Long Beach, Manta Point, Taka Makassar, Kanawa Island
Full-Day Private Traditional Boat Tour 2
Experience the extraordinary beauty of Komodo National Park on a carefully curated private journey to Padar Island, Long Beach, Manta Point, Taka Makassar and Kanawa Island.
Unlike many tour packages that attempt to visit as many destinations as possible within a single day, we intentionally limit this itinerary to four remarkable locations. From our experience, overly crowded itineraries often leave guests feeling rushed and unable to fully appreciate each destination.
We believe that a meaningful journey should be experienced, not hurried. By selecting fewer destinations and allowing sufficient time at each location, our guests can explore more comfortably, connect with nature, and appreciate the distinctive beauty of Komodo National Park at a more relaxed pace.
As this is a private tour, the journey offers greater comfort, privacy, and flexibility for couples, families, and small groups
Padar Island
Padar Island is a breathtaking destination that captivates travelers with its rugged beauty, dramatic hills, sweeping bays, and unique landscapes. Known for its iconic panoramic views and unforgettable natural scenery, the island is one of the most celebrated and recognisable destinations in Komodo National Park. It is a must-visit destination for adventurers, photographers, and nature enthusiasts alike.
Padar Island is especially unique for its distinctive coastline and three different beaches, each featuring its own remarkable sand colour—white, black or dark-toned, and pink. These tri-coloured beaches can be viewed from the island’s famous hilltop viewpoint, where the contrast between the rugged landscape, curved bays, colourful shorelines, and turquoise waters creates one of Indonesia’s most iconic natural panoramas.
While swimming is restricted in certain areas to protect the island’s delicate ecosystem, visitors may still enjoy strolling along permitted beach areas, admiring the coastline, and soaking in the surrounding natural beauty. Guests are encouraged to respect all environmental regulations and designated areas to help preserve the island’s exceptional landscape and biodiversity.
Padar Island is accessible by boat from the nearby town of Labuan Bajo, located on the island of Flores. The picturesque journey typically takes approximately one to two hours, depending on the type of boat, weather, and sea conditions. Along the way, visitors travel across turquoise waters dotted with small islands and striking natural formations within Komodo National Park.
The highlight of a visit to Padar Island is undoubtedly the hike to the famous panoramic viewpoint. From the summit, visitors are rewarded with a spectacular 360-degree view of the island’s dramatic hills, crescent-shaped bays, turquoise waters, and distinctive white, dark, and pink-toned beaches.
Reaching the viewpoint requires a moderately challenging uphill walk. The route includes stairs, uneven pathways, and several steep sections. The hike generally takes approximately 20–30 minutes, although the duration may vary depending on each visitor’s physical condition, walking pace, weather conditions, and the number of people using the trail.
Although the climb can be steep, the trail is manageable for most visitors who are in reasonable physical condition and take appropriate breaks along the way. Sunrise and sunset are among the most magical times to experience Padar Island, as the warm golden light enhances the vibrant colours, dramatic contours, and extraordinary beauty of the surrounding scenery.
Guests are advised to wear comfortable and supportive footwear, carry sufficient drinking water, use appropriate sun protection, and prepare for warm weather and exposed sections of the trail. Visitors should always follow the instructions provided by local guides, local authorities, and Komodo National Park personnel to ensure a safe, responsible, and enjoyable experience.
Long Beach – Pink Beach
Long Beach, located near Komodo National Park in Flores, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), is a serene and peaceful coastal destination renowned for its naturally pink-toned sand and crystal-clear water. This beautiful stretch of coastline offers visitors a tranquil escape and a unique opportunity to witness one of nature’s rarest coastal phenomena.
The distinctive pink colour of the beach is created by the natural combination of white sand and tiny fragments of crushed reddish coral. Over time, these coral particles blend with the sand, forming the beach’s remarkable pink tone. This natural wonder creates a striking contrast against the surrounding hills, clear blue sea, and tropical landscape, offering visitors a truly unique and magical experience.
Long Beach is a testament to the unspoiled natural beauty of Flores. Depending on sea and weather conditions, guests may enjoy relaxing on the beach, swimming in the clear water, snorkelling, exploring the surrounding marine environment, or simply admiring the peaceful landscape.
Whether you are a beach lover, an underwater explorer, a nature enthusiast, or someone seeking a quiet retreat, this pink paradise is a must-visit destination in Indonesia.
Visitors are respectfully requested not to remove sand, coral, shells, marine life, plants, or any other natural materials from the area. Preserving the environment is essential to protecting the fragile ecosystem and natural beauty of Komodo National Park for future generations.
Manta point
Located within the breathtaking Komodo National Park in Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, is a bucket-list destination for divers and snorkelers. As the name suggests, this iconic spot is famous for its majestic manta rays, which gracefully glide through the crystal-clear waters.

Snorkelers can often see these gentle giants up close, as they gather in cleaning stations or feed on plankton just below the surface. Divers are treated to a surreal experience, swimming alongside mantas with wingspans that can reach up to five meters.
Accessible by boat from Labuan Bajo, Manta Point is often paired with visits to nearby islands like Taka Makassar or Pink Beach. Whether you’re an experienced diver or a first-time snorkeler, encountering these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat is a memory you’ll treasure forever.
Taka Makasar
Taka Makassar is proof that size doesn’t matter when it comes to beauty. This enchanting little sandbank, located within the Komodo National Park in Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, is a dreamy escape for travelers seeking something truly special.
Imagine a patch of soft white sand surrounded by impossibly clear turquoise waters, seemingly floating in the middle of the sea. That’s Taka Makassar. It’s so small that during high tide, it might vanish beneath the waves, making it feel like a fleeting secret of nature.
Accessible by boat from Labuan Bajo, this hidden gem is often included in day trips to Komodo National Park. The real magic here is in the water, perfect for snorkeling and discovering vibrant coral reefs, playful fish, and if you’re lucky, majestic manta rays gliding gracefully nearby.
Whether you’re sunbathing on the sand, dipping into the warm shallows, or just savoring the serene surroundings, Taka Makassar offers a moment of pure bliss. It’s not just a destination; it’s a place to pause and let nature amaze you.
Kanawa Island
Kanawa Island, a jewel of Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, is the perfect getaway for those craving tranquility and natural beauty. Just an hour's boat ride from Labuan Bajo, this small island offers soft white sand beaches, turquoise waters, and a relaxed atmosphere that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle.
The surrounding waters are a snorkeler’s dream, teeming with vibrant coral reefs, colorful fish, and sometimes even sea turtles. The island’s hilltop also offers a short hike, rewarding visitors with breathtaking panoramic views of the Flores Sea and nearby islands.
