Flight Bali – LBJ. Welcome to your Moana holiday! We will pick you up from the airport or hotel in Labuan Bajo. After a welcome drink we will fit and check your equipment. Once all guests are on board we will set course towards the island of Sebayur Kecil. After lunch we will do our check dive where guests and guides can get used to each other. We are planning a night dive after the sunset. We will stay at Sebayur for the night.

Our first dive of today will be at Tatawa Besar, where you can expect a nice drift. After breakfast we will head towards the center of the park and visit Batu Bolong, a dramatic formation that extends underwater and is full or marine life. After lunch we will dive at Manta Point for a close encounter with those gentle giants. The night dive will be at Gila Lawa Darat, where we also stay for the night. If you don’t fancy night dives, then we recommend a nice sunset walk up the hill.

We will wake up early to make our way towards the northern most part of the National Park. Castle Rock is an underwater pinnacle and often subject to vari- ous currents. This is usually one of the highlights or the trip and we are likely to see some sharks here. Our second dive will be at Crystal Rock, a beautifully covered formation. In the afternoon we will dive the Cauldron, a channel between the island of Gili Lawa Darat and Gili Lawa Laut. We will stay overnight in North Komodo with a night dive at Gili Lawa Darat.

Another exciting day today as we start today at the Golden Passage, another channel between Komodo and Gili Lawa Darat. After breakfast we’ll head back south towards the center of the park. We will stop at Tatawa Kecil and Siaba Kecil. Both sides have a beautiful topography and lots or marine life. Ex-pect some currents here as well. After those three dives we will continue south towards Rinca Island. Our night dive will be at Wainilu, where you can expect some amazing critters du- ring the muck night dive.

In the morning we will visit the ranger station on Rinca Island for a short trek to visit the famous Komodo dragons, the largest lizards on earth. Accompanied by a ranger, we have a chance to get close up with these prehistoric creatures. After breakfast we are planning 1 or 2 more dives (depending on your flight the next day) at Wainilu or Tengah Kecil. On the way back to Flores we will pass Kalong Island, where a natural spectacle will take place every evening during sunset. A truly impressive event! Surprise!

Depending on your flight back to Bali, we will sail to Labuan Bajo early morning for a planned check-out at 11:00. Of course we will drop you of at the airport (or your hotel in Labuan Bajo). We guarantee you a fantastic time aboard Moana and look forward to welcoming you again!
