Overview
Escape the more heavily traveled routes and discover the beautiful islands north of Labuan Bajo
on a private full-day speedboat adventure. Swim inside Rangko Cave, snorkel around a coral
restoration project, explore tropical reefs and beaches, enjoy lunch beside the sea, and finish the
day surrounded by the spectacular scenery of Kelor Island.
Traveling by private speedboat allows you to reach Rangko Cave early, before the larger
afternoon crowds arrive. Faster travel between destinations means less time in transit and more
time for swimming, snorkeling, exploring, and relaxing.
Throughout the journey, enjoy extraordinary views of turquoise channels, green islands, rocky
coastlines, secluded beaches, and traditional coastal villages. Because the boat is reserved
exclusively for your group, the experience is more comfortable, personal, and flexible than a
shared group tour.

The Rangko Cave entrance fee of approximately Rp 50,000 per person is not included and is paid locally.

Explore the beautiful island scenery, beaches, and deep drop-off reefs around Le Pirate and

surroundings.
Travel south to Angel Island, also known as Bidadari. Enjoy lunch, relax on the beach, and
snorkel in the island’s clear, shallow water.
Visit Kelor Island for a short but steep trek to its panoramic viewpoint. From the top, enjoy sweeping views across the surrounding islands and brilliant blue water.
Guests who prefer not to trek may relax on the beach, swim in the calm shallows, or snorkel around the sandbar. Small reef sharks are sometimes seen while snorkeling, although sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Enjoy the coastal scenery during the fast return journey to Labuan Bajo after a full day of caves,
islands, beaches, and snorkeling.
Extend your island adventure into the evening with a sunset visit to Kalong Island, home to one of the most impressive natural wildlife displays near Labuan Bajo.
Cruise toward Kalong Island and drop anchor near its mangrove-covered shoreline. Relax aboard the boat as the sun approaches the horizon and the surrounding islands become dark silhouettes against the changing sky.
As daylight begins to fade, thousands of giant flying foxes awaken in the mangroves. At first, only a few appear above the trees. Within minutes, the sky begins filling with a continuous stream of flying foxes heading out across the sea in search of food.
Watch these impressive animals pass overhead against the orange, pink, and purple colors of sunset. The procession can stretch across the horizon, creating the extraordinary sight of thousands of flying foxes silhouetted against the evening sky.
The combination of calm water, surrounding islands, a tropical sunset, and this enormous wildlife migration makes the Kalong Island experience an unforgettable conclusion to the day.
After the flying foxes have crossed the sunset sky, return swiftly to Labuan Bajo Harbor.
