This 11-day expedition follows the same arc as the Komodo to Alor crossing but gives Alor two full days instead of one. From Labuan Bajo the route covers Rinca, Padar, northern Komodo, Sangeang, Gili Banta, Riung and Maumere, then reaches Alor for days 9 and 10, with the option to explore the south of the island or visit a local tribe.
The extra time in Alor is the reason to choose this version. You get room to revisit Kal's Dream for pygmy seahorses, drift over Anemone City and swim through The Cathedral, then trade a dive for a village visit if you want to see Alor above water. Before that, Komodo's mantas, Sangeang's warm vents and Maumere's rhinopias set the bar high.
Trip Highlights & Key Regional Features
- Two full days in Alor, with time for the island's south or a village visit

- Manta cleaning stations and a Komodo dragon walk on Rinca
