Day 2. Moni – Kelimutu Lake – Ende – Blue Stone Beach – Riung: Sunrise Over the Colored Lakes
Wake before dawn and prepare for a morning that will linger in your memory forever. An early drive takes you up the slopes of Mount Kelimutu, where a gentle trek along a paved path leads you to the summit—just in time to witness the sunrise.As the first rays of light break over the horizon, the three-colored crater lakes reveal themselves in all their glory—each pool glowing in a distinct hue, shifting between turquoise, emerald, and deep burgundy depending on the light and season.

Accompanied by an experienced ranger, you’ll trek through the island’s diverse landscape, searching for these ancient reptiles in their natural environment. Along the way, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of their behavior, ecology, and the conservation efforts that protect them.
Next, we sail to Pink Beach, one of Komodo’s most treasured gems. Its blush-colored sands, created by microscopic red coral fragments, create a striking contrast with the azure sea. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to snorkel in vibrant underwater gardens, where colorful coral formations and schools of tropical fish create a living masterpiece beneath the surface.
We then continue to Taka Makassar, a stunning sandbar that emerges from the turquoise waters like a floating paradise.

If you’re lucky, you’ll witness these gentle giants soaring through the water in their natural habitat.
As the afternoon begins to mellow, we set course back to Labuan Bajo, the vibrant coastal town that marks the end of your Flores Komodo adventure.
