This week-long liveaboard loops through Komodo National Park from Labuan Bajo, working from the nutrient-rich south of Rinca to Padar, the drift channels of the north and the coral gardens of central Komodo. You dive around 21 times, walk with a ranger on Rinca in search of Komodo dragons and climb Padar's summit trail before returning to Labuan Bajo on day 8.
Expect to hook into a current at Manta Alley and watch oceanic mantas hang in the flow a few metres away, then drop onto Cannibal Rock where frogfish, nudibranchs and pygmy seahorses hide among the sponges. In the north, Castle Rock and Shotgun push big schools of trevally and fusiliers past you at speed. The final evening ends on deck at Kalong Island as thousands of flying foxes cross a burning sunset.
