This Lesser Sunda expedition leaves Labuan Bajo for the south and centre of Komodo National Park, then heads east along Flores to Paloe and Maumere Bay, across to Lembata and Pantar, and finishes in Alor and Kalabahi Bay.
It opens with Komodo at full power: cold, green, plankton-rich water at Nusa Kode, mantas looping at cleaning stations and pinnacles crowded with fish. As the boat moves east the mood changes to quiet volcanic slopes, black sand and patient critter hunting, with three volcanoes on the skyline at anchor. Village children paddling out in wooden goggles and Ikat weavers coming alongside bring the islands to life between dives.
Trip Highlights & Key Regional Features
- Nusa Kode, a horseshoe bay fed by the Indian Ocean, with oversized colourful corals and strange critters
- Manta cleaning stations at Manta Alley, and Castle Rock and Crystal Rock pinnacles swarming with jacks, snapper and barracuda
- A walk with the Komodo dragons, with chances of macaques, deer and wild horses
- Paloe volcano and Maumere Bay: black sand macro inside the bay and sheer outer walls
- Lembata and the Savu Sea, where cold, nutrient-rich water hides unusual macro life
- Alor and the Pantar Strait: a bubbling underwater volcano, dolphins or whales and a chance of mola mola or thresher sharks
- Kalabahi Bay muck diving for ghost pipefish and rhinopias, plus a traditional village ceremony with dance
