Day 1: Settling in, Cannibal Rock, and Komodo dragons
We recommend arriving the day before departure in Labuan Bajo (See practical information at the bottom of the page). A car will pick you up from your chosen hotel. Meet the crew and receive a general briefing about life on board and safety rules. We plan to weigh anchor before 10 a.m. to head south as quickly as possible.
Navigate to Nusa Kode and South Rinca, which will take between 4 and 5 hours of sailing.
The first dive is scheduled at Cannibal Rock in the mid-afternoon. This underwater mount features a mix of splendid soft and hard corals that serve as a habitat for numerous invertebrates.
Take a dinghy ride along the coast. 3-meter-long Komodo dragons roam freely here and may approach the sound of the engines. Thrills guaranteed.
