Day 2: Saleh Bay (Whale Shark Encounter)
One of the most memorable experiences on this tour comes on the second day, where you’ll get the chance to swim with whale sharks in Saleh Bay, Sumbawa. The boat sails through the night, and by 7:00 AM, you will find yourself in the beautiful waters of Saleh Bay, a renowned location for encountering these majestic creatures.
Swimming with Whale Sharks
The whale sharks, the gentle giants of the ocean, are the highlight of this day. You will spend about two hours snorkeling and swimming with these incredible creatures. The opportunity to be so close to these massive, but harmless, animals is truly an awe-inspiring experience.
After your whale shark encounter, the journey continues as you sail toward Tambora Beach. Surrounded by lush hills and crystal-clear waters, Tambora Beach offers a perfect location for relaxation or an exhilarating jump off the boat into the ocean.

These creatures are the largest lizards on earth and witnessing them in the wild is a truly exhilarating experience. You will learn about their behavior, diet, and breeding patterns as you walk through the island’s beautiful landscapes.
Padar Island and Pink Beach
Following your visit to Komodo Island, the next stop is the Pink Beach, one of the most unique beaches in the world. The pink-colored sand comes from a mix of crushed red coral and white sand, creating a surreal beach experience. Spend time swimming, snorkeling, or simply relaxing while waiting for the sunset.
After some time at Pink Beach, the journey continues to Padar Island, known for its rugged hills and stunning views.
