This Lesser Sunda expedition starts in Labuan Bajo with five days across central, southern and northern Komodo National Park, then sails west past the volcano of Sangeang to Saleh Bay, Satonda and Moyo before ending at Serangan Port in Bali.
The first half is all about energy: strong currents, cold green water in the south, manta stations and pinnacles crowded with fish. Then the pace softens. Black volcanic sand glitters with macro life, tiny bubbles rise from the seabed at Hot Rocks, and a dawn search for whale sharks in Saleh Bay is followed by a hike to a saltwater crater lake. Finishing in Bali makes it easy to stay on and explore the island.
Trip Highlights & Key Regional Features
- Central Komodo and a walk with the Komodo dragons, with chances of macaques, deer and wild horses
- Nusa Kode, a horseshoe bay fed by the Indian Ocean with oversized, colourful corals and odd critters
- Manta Alley cleaning stations, where mantas may feed at the surface when krill arrives
- Sangeang volcano: black sand slopes with rich macro and Hot Rocks, where bubbles stream out of the seabed
- An early morning search for whale sharks in Saleh Bay
- Satonda Island, formed by an eruption at 1,000 m depth, with a hike to its saltwater lake
- Moyo Island critter dives on the final leg to Bali
