Red Whale Dive Center & Tours leads adventurers on transformative journeys through the unparalleled beauty of the Komodo archipelago using their specialized speedboat fleet. Designed for travelers who want to maximize their limited time, these vessels can visit up to six iconic destinations in a single day, including sunrise treks at Padar Island, encounters with Komodo dragons, and relaxing on the world-famous Pink Beach. Guests enjoy a full-service leisure experience that includes hotel transfers, personalized lunchboxes tailored to dietary needs, and the expertise of certified English-speaking local guides.

While these listings focus on leisure and island exploration, the entire fleet is “diving ready” for those looking to breathe underwater. For guests interested in scuba diving—from complete beginners to certified veterans—specialized diving itineraries can be found on our separate fleet page, offering access to over 50 world-class dive sites. Whether you are sunbathing on the 8-meter mattress deck of Red Whale I or enjoying an intimate family celebration on Red Whale III, this fleet provides a safe, comfortable, and high-performance sanctuary for exploring Indonesia’s most iconic maritime paradise.

About the trip

06:30 – 09:45 | The Morning Ascent
The journey begins with a hotel pick-up between 06:30 and 07:00, followed by a swift departure from Labuan Bajo harbor toward Padar Island. Arriving around 08:15, guests embark on a trek to the island's famous summit to capture the iconic three-bay panoramic view. After spending time at the peak for photography and sightseeing, the group returns to the speedboat by 09:45 to head toward the next destination.
10:00 – 13:00 | Pink Sands and Dragon Encounters
By 10:00, the boat arrives at the world-famous Pink Beach, where guests have an hour to snorkel in the vibrant reefs or simply relax on the uniquely tinted rose-colored sand. At 11:00, the journey continues to Komodo Island, arriving at 11:20 for a guided medium-distance trek to encounter the legendary Komodo Dragons in their natural habitat. The morning session concludes with a well-earned lunch served on the island or the boat at 12:30.
13:00 – 16:15 | Turquoise Waters and Marine Life
The afternoon focuses on the park’s spectacular marine beauty, starting with a cruise to the Taka Makassar sandbar at 13:00. From 13:30 to 14:15, guests enjoy swimming and sunbathing on this tiny island in the middle of the Flores Sea before moving to nearby Manta Point. Between 14:25 and 15:00, the boat drifts through the area to give guests the chance to snorkel alongside majestic manta rays. The final stop of the day is at Turtle Bay from 15:20 to 16:15, offering a final snorkeling session with resident sea turtles before the return journey to Labuan Bajo.

Still got questions?

Speedboats focus on covering highlights efficiently within a single day and return to shore by afternoon or sunset. Liveaboard phinisi move at a slower pace, include overnight stays, and offer a more immersive experience on the water and out on land. The choice depends on whether you prefer a one-day exploration or a relaxed, multi-day journey.

Larger liveaboard phinisi are generally more stable than speedboats, which can feel more movement at higher speeds. Most routes stay within sheltered waters, but conditions can vary. If you’re prone to seasickness, we recommend calmer seasons and bringing medication as a precaution.

Most vessels offer shaded areas, open decks, and indoor spaces to rest between activities. Liveaboards include sleeping cabins or shared accommodations for overnight comfort, while day boats focus on seating and shade. Comfort levels vary by vessel, and details are always listed on each page.

Each vessel suits a different travel style. Some are ideal for couples or relaxed travelers, while others work well for families, groups, or divers. If you’re unsure, we can help match you with a vessel based on pace, comfort, and experience type.
