Komodo Day Trip by Speedboat from Labuan Bajo
One day in Komodo goes fast. Do not spend it queuing on a crowded boat, or go home without seeing a dragon.
An afternoon on a private boat for your group only: climb and snorkel at Strawberry Rock, then watch thousands of flying foxes at Kalong Island at sunset. All entrance tickets included.
Most sunset trips go only to Kalong Island. This one adds Strawberry Rock, a red rock formation that is usually empty by the afternoon. The boat leaves from Warloka village, about an hour by car from Labuan Bajo, which cuts out the long open-water crossing and makes time for both places.
Guests climb the rock with the guide for views over the bay, then snorkel the reef below it. As the light fades the boat moves to Kalong Island, where the engine is switched off and flying foxes cross the sky at dusk.
Because the boat is private, the group can stay longer in the water or skip a stop. All entrance tickets are included; underwater photos and video are available as an add-on.
Order follows the itinerary; points are approximate.

An unforgettable experience that I'll always cherish!
From the very beginning, the admin team was incredibly patient with all my random questions since it was my first time joining an open trip. They were super helpful, explained everything clearly, and made the booking process so easy and hassle-free.
It was truly a wonderful journey with Arah Pesona. We couldn't stop feeling grateful from the very beginning — starting with the special discount promo we received during booking, and then getting a complimentary room upgrade when we arrived on the boat.
The itinerary was perfectly arranged, allowing us to experience the beauty of nature in a more peaceful atmosphere without overwhelming crowds. Because of that, we were able to fully enjoy every destination along the trip.
