Hello & welcome to Indonesia! We’ve got 6 days of sea, sun, snorkelling & stunning views lined up ahead of us. And we’re kicking off in the turquoise-tinted town of Sanur, our homebase for the night.
Bye bye, Bali. We’ve got a flight to catch to another island.Touchdown, the Island of Flores! This untouched island is famous for being the gateway to the Komodo National Park. You'll be greeted by stunning seaside views as we check into our hotel for the night. Looking for things to do? How about some volleyball with your crew & sunset drinks by the pool? Livin' the life.
Buckle up, island hoppers. Our boat expedition has officially begun! So, hop on to our cosy, cosy houseboat as we float across the waters to the underexplored gem of Komodo National Park (also the only place where you can see the closest animal to dinosaurs IRL). First, we’ll hit up the hill on Kelor Island for some epic panoramic views of Flores & its surrounding scenery (perfect for your photo ops!). After lunch onboard, we’ll stop by the underexplored Manjarite Island for snorkelling in the pristine blue water. Next on the list? A once-in-a-lifetime golden sunset at Kalong Island - that’s also home to thousands of bats! (Cue Batman theme song.) Finally, we’ll get back onboard our houseboat for dinner and a night at sea, surrounded by tranquil (and star-studded!) scenery.**Please note: the order of activities in the National Park may vary depending on weather conditions & currents.
Look at you, rising & shining even before the sun. It’s time for an early morning trek in the dark (the view is so worth it, we promise!). We’ll hike up one the tallest hills on this rugged island just before dawn. Get ready for one of the BEST views of your life - sparkling blue water, dotted with lush islands and rolling hills. And if the weather gods are on our side, you’ll even get to capture a show-stopping sunrise over the Flores hills. In-cre-di-ble. Then, it’s back on the boat for breakfast and a short ride to the next island. Aaaand we’ve finally made it to Komodo Island (the biggest & baddest island in Komodo National Park!). We’ll kick off with a trek led by a local park ranger who’ll give us the full rundown on the island’s superstars - Komodo dragons - and all the other wildlife here. Then, you have the chance to go snorkelling in the clear blue waters by the Pink Beach (no, your eyes aren’t tricking you). And then, finally, you’ll even get the chance to swim with manta rays at Manta Point. Sheeesh, what a day!Okay people, time to rest those travel-tired muscles. Not before a delicious dinner though!
You know it’s gonna be a good morning when you wake up to views of a literal desert oasis in the middle of the ocean! Welcome to Taka Makassar. This tiny island looks like a beautiful beige brushstroke on the water, and guess what? It's also the perfect place for some more snorkelling. After lunch, we’ll visit Kanawa Island for some well-deserved R&R by the beach before our boat expedition comes to an end (sob). Back on land, you’ve got one last eve to spend admiring the idyllic island views with your crew, so make the most of it!
All good things come to an end - just like this trip. Saying goodbye to Indonesia won't be easy, but these memories of beautiful beaches, adventures and incredible views will stay in our hearts and memories forever.
