Just beyond Bali’s familiar shores, this four-day escape reveals the untamed beauty of Flores and Komodo National Park, where rugged island landscapes, crystalline waters and rare wildlife encounters unfold at an unhurried pace. From a serene stay in Sanur to a refined coastal retreat overlooking the Flores Sea in Labuan Bajo, guests are immersed in one of Indonesia’s most extraordinary regions—meeting the legendary Komodo dragons on Rinca Island, cruising past dramatic coastlines, snorkelling from quiet beaches and embracing the relaxed rhythm of island life.

Special Notes:

•Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below about airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

•Please advise the RSSC Reservations team when you book this program should you have any special dietary restrictions or requirements. Requests will be sent to our local ground operators for review. Changes will not be able to be accommodated at the last minute.

DAY 1

Disembark the ship in Benoa. Separate any excess luggage for storage and transfer from the pier to the Bali Airport for a flight to Labuan Bajo.

Located on the western tip of Flores, Labuan Bajo is the gateway to the legendary Komodo National Park, home to the world’s last remaining Komodo dragons. While the dragons themselves remain protected within the national park and are not visited today, the surrounding region offers an equally captivating landscape of rugged hills, island-dotted seas, and some of Indonesia’s most pristine marine environments.

Labuan Bajo retains the charm of a once-sleepy fishing village, now gradually evolving into a sophisticated base for exploration. Life moves at a gentler pace here, defined by sweeping ocean views, dramatic sunsets, and a strong connection to the surrounding land and sea.

Upon arrival, you are welcomed and transferred to a locally inspired restaurant overlooking the harbour. Here, fresh seafood and regional flavours provide a relaxed introduction to Flores, accompanied by views across the bay toward scattered islands that hint at the extraordinary landscapes beyond.

After lunch, continue inland to Melo Village, a traditional Manggarai village set high in the hills above Labuan Bajo.

The journey itself offers sweeping views over the coastline and surrounding islands. Upon arrival, you are welcomed by the local community and introduced to their customs and daily life. A highlight of the visit is a traditional Caci whip dance performance, a unique cultural ritual showcasing strength, skill and deep-rooted heritage. Time is also available to take in the panoramic vistas and capture the dramatic scenery before returning toward the coast.

Following your visit, continue to your hotel and check in. The remainder of the day is at leisure to enjoy the resort’s facilities. Your accommodation is set within a peaceful coastal retreat, thoughtfully designed to blend with its natural surroundings. Overlooking the Flores Sea, it offers an elegant and tranquil base for your time in the region.

For those seeking a slower pace, the property features spa treatments (additional cost) inspired by local healing traditions, along with quiet spaces to unwind and take in the natural beauty of the surrounding islands.

As the day draws to a close, Labuan Bajo reveals one of its most memorable moments—the sunset. The sky transforms into a canvas of deep oranges and soft purples as the sun dips behind the islands, creating a perfect end to a day that captures the spirit of this remarkable region. Dinner is at your leisure, allowing you to choose when and where to dine in the calm surroundings of the resort.

Note: For groups of ten guests or more staying in-house, a Regent Seven Seas Hospitality Desk will be available at the hotel. Please ensure that your luggage is packed according to what you are taking and what you are storing prior to disembarking the ship.

DAY 2

This full-day experience explores the dramatic landscapes and extraordinary wildlife of Komodo National Park, combining a guided encounter with Komodo dragons on Rinca Island with time on the water discovering some of Indonesia’s most pristine marine environments.

The day begins directly from Ayana, where guests board a private speedboat from the resort jetty.

Cruising through the island-dotted waters of the national park, the journey itself is a highlight. Dramatic hills rise from turquoise seas, with untouched beaches and rugged coastlines unfolding along the way.

Upon arrival at Rinca Island, guests are met by expert park rangers for a guided walk through the island’s dry forest and savannah landscape. This is one of the most reliable locations to observe Komodo dragons in their natural habitat, alongside Timor deer, water buffalo, wild boars, macaque monkeys and native birdlife. A choice of short or longer walking routes is available, allowing guests to select an option suited to their comfort level. All walks are conducted at a measured pace, with ranger supervision and safety briefings throughout.

Before or after the walk, there is also time to visit the small on-site museum and ranger station, offering insight into the behaviour, conservation, and unique ecology of the Komodo dragon and the wider national park.

A stop is made at Pink Beach, where guests can snorkel in clear, calm waters over vibrant coral reefs, or relax along the shoreline and take in the striking contrast of soft pink sand against turquoise seas.

Lunch bento boxes are served at Pink Beach.

In the afternoon, there may be an additional swim stop or a gentle cruise past some of the park’s most scenic viewpoints before returning directly to Ayana by mid to late afternoon.

This evening, enjoy a group dinner at Kisik Seafood Restaurant, set directly on the beach at Ayana.

Note: Please bring a towel from the hotel for the beach stop. Snorkel equipment is provided or guests may bring their own. Komodo viewing is from a raised boardwalk as well as sand/gravel paths.

DAY 3

After breakfast, check-out, settling any incidentals before your transfer to the airport and the flight back to Bali.

Upon arrival in Bali, you will be met by our local guide who will assist you with a transfer from the airport to your hotel for the evening. Guests will be reunited with any luggage that was stored.

The remainder of the day will be at your leisure. Lunch and dinner are on your own today.

DAY 4

After breakfast and check-out, you will be transferred by private vehicle to the Bali International Airport in accordance with your flight details. Should you have a later departing flight, luggage storage will be available until your transfer. Check-out time at the hotel is 12:00pm.

Solo travellers will transfer in a sedan and couples in a van. Sedans hold 2 pieces of luggage, plus 2 carry-on bags. Vans hold 4 pieces of luggage plus, 2 or 3 carry-on bags.

Expected Weather:

Hot and Dry. December in Labuan Bajo is typically warm with daytime temperatures averaging 30–32°C (86–90°F). Rain is possible but usually brief and scattered. Humidity can rise during midday, especially inland. The coastal breeze offers some relief, but sun exposure is strong throughout the day.

What to Bring:

This is a casual and culturally immersive program, so lightweight, breathable clothing is recommended along with good walking shoes and bathing attire.

Please keep local customs in mind:

•Avoid revealing clothing; covered shoulders and knee-length shorts or skirts are appropriate for village visits.

•Bring a hat or head covering, sunscreen, sunglasses, and mosquito repellent—especially for early morning or evening activities.

•Comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes are essential for village terrain. Flip-flops or sandals are not recommended for cultural visits.

•A small pack of tissues or wet wipes can also be useful, as facilities may be basic in rural areas.

•While dinner is relaxed, you may wish to bring a casual outfit for the evening.

Local Currency:

The local currency in Indonesia is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). Credit cards are not widely accepted outside of a few hotels and restaurants, so it is essential to carry cash. While some places may accept US Dollars, it is not guaranteed. Rupiah is strongly preferred for local purchases, tips, and entry fees.

We recommend bringing smaller denominations of USD for emergency use, but it’s best to exchange money before arriving in Flores, either in Bali, or at the airport. ATMs in Flores are limited and may not always be reliable, so prepare accordingly.

Electricity

Rooms are typically equipped with 220-volt, two-round-pin (European-style) electrical outlets. We recommend traveling with a universal adapter if you plan to use electronic devices from other countries.

Luggage information

On the flights between Bali and Labuan Bajo guests will be permitted to check one bag per person weighing no more than 20kg (44lbs) and one small carry on that will fit in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you.

If you wish you may store excess luggage with our local ground operator in Bali at the hotel. Please ensure that all excess bags are tagged properly and visibly with your full name and suite number on the ship. You will be re-united with it on Day 3. Please pack accordingly as bags will be separated when you disembark the ship.

Note that Regent Seven Seas Cruises, the hotel, nor our local ground operator are responsible or liable for any lost or missing items. We do not recommend leaving valuables behind or in checked luggage. You should keep any valuables, medications and documents with you in your carry-on handbag.

Carriage of Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines on internal flights per airline regulations (subject to change as each airline has their own regulations)

1. Portable Oxygen Concentrator (POC) - Guests must obtain a Doctor’s Certificate mentioning their medical condition and the need to carry a POC. Further paperwork may be required by the airline.

2. CPAP Machine NOT being used in flight – please advise RSSC at least 95 days before your cruise if you will bring a CPAP on the internal flight(s) used in this land program. Please supply the make, model and battery type.

3. CPAP Machine to be used during flight – same as above + a doctor’s note is required mentioning the need to use the machine during flight.

*Guests are required to bring with them any details from the manufacturer regarding the CPAP specifications. While most modern CPAP machines are FAA-approved for in-flight use, having a copy of your manufacturer’s FAA-approval status will help to quickly clear any confusion that may arise.

* Failure to provide the above details in a timely manner may result in a denial of this equipment at the airport for which Regent Seven Seas Cruises nor our local ground operator will be responsible for.

*Some hotels do not provide distilled water. While we can certainly request this for you, we cannot guarantee that it will be available. If received in a timely manner, at least 95 days before sailing, requests will be sent on the final manifest that our ground operators and hotels receive. We highly recommend packing your own supply, especially on programs that travel to more remote locations in order to avoid not having it. Please keep in mind the rule for liquids in carry-on bags. Many hotels will charge for distilled water. If there is a fee, this will be added to your hotel incidental account to be paid at check-out. Fees will vary from hotel to hotel.

Documents and Visa Requirements:

Guests must carry a valid passport with at least 6 months’ validity.

Guests will need to complete entry visa requirements before arriving in Indonesia – please consult your local embassy for further entry requirements for your nationality.
