10 Day Komodo Kayaker - $2750 (ex Bali)
The Komodo National Park is made up of over two dozen islands between Sumbawa and Flores. These prehistoric looking islands are home to the Komodo Dragon, a creature that time seemed to forget. These mighty beasts are over 3m long and weigh up to 150kg. But don't let their slow nature fool you, when food or mating are involved, the Dragon can run nearly 30km per hour. The Komodo Dragon however is just one attraction of the park. The area boasts some of the best marine life on the planet, with dozens of reefs in which we will snorkel. We will visit sites where manta ray and turtle are common. It is also home to uninhabited islands and glorious beaches. We will visit small stilted villages and experience life on the sea like nowhere else.We will also visit remote water falls and small villages on the main island of Flores. This 10 day expedition from Bali is one of a kind. We are the only operator running kayaking expeditions in the National Park. You will be part of something that very few have experienced before, kayaking the Komodo Islands, Indonesia. For those that wish to incorporate a SCUBA Dive on this expedition (highly recommended), we can arrange for a specialised SCUBA vessel to meet us in the Park for 2 dives for an additional AUD$170. As part of this expedition, you will be helping to preserve the local eco-system through donations from No Roads and cleaning the park of all plastics as we go. Through the work that we and other like minded organisations do, we hope that the Komodo National Park will remain an attraction for our children's children. We are the only sea kayak operator in the Komodo National Park where you will paddle from island to island with a full motorised boat support for your safety and to provide meals and at times to rest on. Itinerary Day 1: Arrive in Bali and transfer to hotel. Free time to relax. Day 2: Fly Bali to Labuan Bajo. Arrive at Komodo Labuan Bajo airport (B).

Day 3: Labuan Bajo - Bedadhari - Seture Island (B,L,D) Today we start our adventure. After the safety briefing at Puri Sari beach, we head off to Bedadhari Island for a bit of snorkelling and lunch.

Used to be living with the Dragons in their neighbourhood, the village is now protected by a high fence around the village to keep the beasts out.
