Komodo Island day tours: seven options from Labuan Bajo
The most-booked tour: six stops with snorkeling
The six-stop tour with 1,671 reviews is the one I recommend to most readers. Ten hours, four named stops (Padar, Komodo, Pink Beach, Manta Point), plus a reef site and the harbour pick-up. Speedboat, English guide, lunch, snorkel gear. Not suitable if you’re pregnant or a non-swimmer.

If one day isn’t enough
Two liveaboard options let you see more of the islands. The 2D1N boat ($180, 4.3 stars) leaves from Labuan Bajo and includes some fees. The 3-day sailing tour ($334, 4.8 stars) is for swimmers who want time on the water. Both excluded from the five one-day tours above but answering a question you might be asking.
