Komodo National Park
This morning’s cruise takes us into the National Park where Komodo dragons are found in their natural habitats on several islands including Rinca and Komodo. Capable of growing to nearly 10 feet in length and weighing more than 140 pounds, this surprisingly agile, speedy and prehistoric-looking creature is the largest lizard in the world. Accompanied by our expert naturalist guide, we’ll have several chances today to encounter Komodo dragons - as well as the islands’ other native wildlife including deer, buffalo and wild pigs.
A shipboard lunch and time to snorkel in the turquoise waters off the pink sands of Pantai Merah Beach enrich this full-day excursion. Back at our luxury resort on Flores Island, your evening is free to relax and dine as you wish. Meals B+L

Batu Cermin Cave + Back to Bali
After breakfast and check-out, we’ll spend some time in the bustling morning market to experience a genuine slice of life on Flores Island. Then it’s on to Batu Cermin Cave where our visit has been timed to coincide with a unique natural phenomenon. When the weather is clear and the bright morning sun shines into the cave, the effect is mesmerizing. The cavern walls have a uniquely reflective mineral content and appear to shimmer in the light.
Then we’ll continue to the airport for our included return flight to Bali. On arrival in Denpasar, we’ll be met and escorted to the luxurious Belmond Jimbaran Puri, ideally situated along one of Bali’s most famous and beautiful beaches. After settling in to your spacious private cottage, the rest of this day is yours to indulge as you wish. Meals B
