Embarking Port. Alor / ARD or Labuan Bajo / LBJ Disembarking Port. Labuan Bajo / LBJ or Alor / ARD Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located approximately 300 nautical miles east of Bali in the Flores Sea, is renowned for its breathtaking beauty—both above and below the surface. Comprising the three main islands of Komodo, Rinca, and Padar, this region boasts a striking landscape shaped by ancient volcanic activity: rugged savannah hills, pockets of tropical forest, powdery white and reddish beaches, and turquoise lagoons alive with marine life. Beneath the waves, Komodo’s underwater topography is as diverse as its legendary biodiversity. Dive sites range from black volcanic sands and silty slopes to steep coral walls and vibrant reef flats, all blanketed with an incredible array of hard and soft corals. As you journey from the warm, clear waters of the Flores Sea in the north toward the cooler, nutrient-rich currents of the Indian Ocean in the south, the marine life becomes even more abundant. Here, divers can encounter everything from elusive macro critters to majestic pelagics. The sheer variety of ecosystems and species in Komodo is not only visually stunning but also ecologically extraordinary—making it one of the most inspiring and unforgettable dive destinations on Earth.
ALOR & PANTAR The 3 inactive volcano islands in the Strait between Alor and Pantar make it a perfect combination for some world class diving, with vertical sheer walls, numerous small coves, a good mix of fresh water, slightly sloping silky sand with swift currents that bring so many nutrients in to the bay and provide shelter for critters that take habitat here. From colourful coral to rare pelagic and critters on the seabed, the bay of Alor has it all. PULAU PALUE Pulau Palue lies just north of Flores, surrounded by deep water and offering great visibility in turquoise blue water. The underwater scenery is mostly slopes and then sheer drop offs to the deep water. The current is the key to where and when to dive around here. PADAR ISLAND Diving changes completely from clear, warm water from the Flores Sea to the murkier rich plankton soup of the Indian Ocean that attracts lots of life. CURRENT CITY The real Komodo diving starts here where, like the name suggests, the currents play a big role in this part of the cruise. When you are in the water at the right place and time, the reefs spring to life! Fish are abundant everywhere but the rocks and reefs in 'current' areas provide the best chances for spotting the bigger fish, especially sharks and other pelagics. NUSA KODE The large bay between the islands of Rinca and Nusa Kode is often free of currents, and nutrient-rich water nourishes the reefs, which are seamlessly populated with hard and soft corals, black corals, and sponges. "Cannibal Rock," a solitary rock whose enormous gorgonian fans are home to various pygmy seahorses, is perhaps the best macro diving site in the world! MANTA ALLEY This is the place that makes Komodo stand out as a destination that represents the variety of diving in Indonesia. Opposite to the critter hunt at Nusa Kode, here you will dive with manta rays, lots of them! With the rich nutrients from the Indian Ocean, this place is thick with plankton therefore do not expect great visibility but who cares, mantas are just everywhere and sometimes, if you're lucky even mola-mola, the famous giant sun fish, show up especially when the water is becoming a near bone-chilling 18 to 22 degrees... GILI LAWA LAUT Here comes the savannah like scenery of Komodo, surrounded by many shades of turquoise blue water, white sandy beaches and rough rock surfaces. As stunningly as the islands themselves, the underwater scenery of Gili Lawa Laut will take your breath away with frizzy colours, schooling fish action, you name it, it's all here! It's truly a diver's paradise.
