Day 1: Bangsal – Kayangan Harbor – Kanawa Island
Pick-up Service
Your adventure begins early in the morning. At 8:00 am, the 17Tour Agency team will pick you up from various locations across Lombok, including Mataram, Senggigi, Bangsal, and even the Gili Islands (Gili Trawangan and Gili Air). If you’re staying in Kuta, the team will collect you at 9:00 am, directly transporting you to Kayangan Harbor for an additional fee of 120K IDR if you are among a minimum group of three.
To start your journey with energy, have breakfast at your hotel before the long trip to Kayangan Harbor, which takes approximately three hours. After gathering at Pandu Restaurant in Bangsal Port, you will complete your check-in and transfer to Kayangan Harbor by a comfortable, air-conditioned bus.
Kanawa Island
Once aboard the boat, the adventure truly begins. The first destination is Kanawa Island, located in Sumbawa. Known for its serene beaches and crystal-clear waters, Kanawa Island offers the perfect spot for your first swim and snorkeling experience. In the evening, climb to the top of Kanawa Hill to watch a spectacular sunset. As the day winds down, enjoy the tranquil atmosphere as the sun dips below the horizon, marking the perfect end to your first day of the trip.
Day 2: Saleh Bay – Swim with Whale Sharks
The boat sails overnight, and you will wake up in the magical Saleh Bay, one of the best spots in Indonesia for an unforgettable wildlife experience. Early in the morning around 7:00 am, you’ll arrive ready for the most exhilarating activity of the trip: swimming with whale sharks.
Swim with Whale Sharks
Imagine snorkeling alongside these gentle giants of the ocean. These whale sharks, despite their enormous size, are harmless filter feeders. You’ll have around two hours to swim, snorkel, and take pictures with these magnificent creatures before continuing the journey.
Sunset in Tambora Beach
Later in the day, the boat will stop at Tambora Beach, where you’ll be greeted by a stunning landscape of lush hills and golden sand. This is a prime location to unwind, take in the scenery, and even jump from the boat for a quick swim. As evening falls, watch another breathtaking sunset over the horizon, lighting up the sky with hues of orange and pink.
Day 3: Komodo Island, Padar Island, Pink Beach & Boat Party
Komodo Island
On day three, the adventure takes you to the famous Komodo Island, home to the legendary Komodo dragons. These ancient creatures are the largest living lizards in the world and are known for their impressive size and predatory instincts. A licensed local guide will accompany you throughout the trek, ensuring your safety while providing insightful information about the Komodo dragons and their unique ecosystem.
Pink Beach and Padar Island
After your close encounter with the dragons, head to the enchanting Pink Beach. Named after its pinkish-hued sand caused by fragments of red coral mixed with white sand, this beach is one of the most picturesque locations in Indonesia. Here, you’ll have time to swim, snorkel, and relax before the next activity.
The final highlight of the day is Padar Island, known for its panoramic viewpoints offering stunning vistas of green hills surrounded by turquoise waters. A short trek will take you to the top of Padar Island, where you’ll witness one of the most beautiful sunsets imaginable, making the hike worthwhile.
Boat Party
To celebrate an action-packed day, the crew will organize a fun and lively boat party at night. After all the trekking and exploration, it’s time to relax, dance, and enjoy the company of fellow travelers under the starlit sky.
Day 4: Majarite Island, Kelor Island, and Labuan Bajo
Majarite Island
The final day of the journey is dedicated to snorkeling and marine life exploration. Majarite Island is your first stop, where you’ll have the chance to dive into crystal-clear waters and swim among vibrant coral reefs. Look out for turtles, colorful fish, and the other fascinating underwater creatures that make this spot a paradise for snorkeling enthusiasts.
Kelor Island
Next, you’ll visit Kelor Island, another fantastic location for snorkeling. One of the highlights of Kelor is the opportunity to swim with baby sharks, a unique and exciting experience. If you prefer a more relaxed activity, you can simply lounge on the beautiful beaches and soak up the tropical sun.
After spending around two hours at Kelor Island, the boat will continue its journey to Labuan Bajo, where the trip comes to an end. You’ll arrive in Labuan Bajo at approximately 2-3 pm, concluding your four-day adventure. From here, you can either explore the charming town of Labuan Bajo or catch a flight to your next destination.
