    From your hotel, we’ll head directly to the harbor to board our speedboat and set off on a day filled with discovery. It takes approximately 60 minutes by speedboat from Labuan Bajo to reach our first destination, the iconic Padar Island. Renowned for its dramatic landscapes and unique trio of colored beaches—white, pink, and black—Padar is a feast for the senses. As we approach, you’ll be captivated by the island’s rugged hills and stunning vistas. To reach the best viewpoint for capturing truly stunning pictures, guests will need to walk up 815 well-constructed concrete steps. While a good physical condition is required, the steady steps make the ascent more manageable and guests can take their time to rest along the way. At the top, you’ll be rewarded with sweeping panoramic views—an unforgettable highlight of Komodo National Park.

    From Padar Island, we continue to the enchanting Pink Beach. It takes approximately 10 minutes by speedboat to reach this stunning destination. The beach’s distinctive pink-hued sand is the result of white sand blending with red coral fragments, creating a soft, rosy shoreline you won’t find anywhere else. Here, you’ll have time to unwind, swim in the crystal-clear waters, and simply relax as you soak in the beach’s unique charm.
