    Flores - Pulau Rinca

    It’s all aboard the Tiger Blue in Flores. Your traditional timber yacht will set sail for Pulau Rinca, one of the beautiful Komodo islands that have been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your voyage will allow you ample time to explore the islands and dive the teeming coral reefs, home to a vast array of colourful tropical fish, turtles and dolphin.

    Pulau Rinca - Padar Island

    On a hike around Pulau Rinca you'll see all kinds of wildlife and exotic birds. The most notorious island resident is the strangely mesmerising Komodo dragon with its eerily long forked tongue. Your ranger will ensure a safe encounter. Tiger Blue sets sail while you enjoy an alfresco lunch on board, arriving at Padar Island in time for cocktails around a campfire on a deserted coral beach.

    Padar Island - Nusa Kode

    You can spend the morning snorkelling and diving at Padar Bay before setting sail for Nusa Kode (South Rinca Island). When you arrive you’ll find the warm waters here are alive with kaleidoscopic marine life. You can take on the gentle swell on water skis or wakeboards, or go exploring by kayak or on foot.

    Nusa Kode

    You have a second day to explore the natural treasures of Nusa Kode, a wonderland of flora, fauna and birdlife. Of course, there’s always the option to chill out on your very own tropical white-sand beach.

    Manta Alley - South Komodo Island

    Tiger Blue weighs anchor early to head for Manta Alley (South Komodo). Here you can dive or snorkel with the prolific population of manta rays. Try and keep up with them as they gracefully reach effortless speeds in the water. While you enjoy lunch on board, your boat will sail to the remote South Komodo Bay. The rocky headlands and sandy bays here are framed by dramatic, volcanic cliffs.

    Komodo Island - Pulau Mawan

    An early morning sail to Pantai Merah (Pink Beach) on Komodo Island. Islanders will greet you by paddling with sampans loaded with trinkets and souvenirs. In the afternoon you'll sail to Pulau Mawan's spectacular beach, from which you can explore the Batu Bulong dive site, renowned for its astonishing biodiversity.

    Pulau Mawan - Gili Lawa Laut

    More spectacular diving awaits you as you set off in the morning for Gili Lawa Laut in North Komodo. Cristal and Castle rock are a SCUBA paradise but if you fancy coming up for air you can go for a walk on this idyllic tropical island and take in the views. In the afternoon, it’s time to head for the pristine bay at Gili Lawa Darat to moor for your final night on board.

    Gili Lawa Laut - Flores

    After breakfast on board, Tiger Blue sets sail back to Flores along the wild southern coastline. And your Komodo Island holiday leaves you with plenty to dine out on.
