Sumbawa to Komodo Whale Shark Snorkeling Expedition 8D7N

Embark on an unforgettable Sumbawa to Komodo Whale Shark Snorkeling Expedition 8D7N from Bali, a complete island-hopping and marine adventure across Indonesia’s most spectacular waters. This carefully crafted route is designed for ocean enthusiasts who want to experience manta rays, sea turtles, whale sharks, and daily Komodo snorkeling in one seamless expedition.

The journey begins in Nusa Penida, where dramatic limestone cliffs meet crystal-clear seas. After exploring Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach, Angel’s Billabong, Diamond Beach, and Atuh Beach, the expedition shifts underwater. The next morning is dedicated to manta snorkeling in Nusa Penida, especially at Manta Point. Here, you glide beside graceful manta rays as they circle cleaning stations. Additionally, three other snorkeling sites around the island reveal vibrant coral reefs and tropical marine life.

From Nusa Penida, the adventure continues to Gili Trawangan, part of the famous Gili Islands. The highlight here is turtle snorkeling in Gili Trawangan. Calm, shallow reefs provide ideal conditions to observe green sea turtles feeding and resting among coral gardens. The relaxed island atmosphere offers a pleasant overnight stay before the liveaboard segment begins. Sumbawa to Komodo Whale Shark Snorkeling Expedition 8D7N from Bali will begin liveaboard. 

Next, transfer to Kayangan Harbor in Lombok and board your liveaboard vessel. Sailing toward Sumbawa Island, the scenery becomes increasingly remote. In the protected waters of Saleh Bay, you experience the expedition’s signature moment: whale shark snorkeling at Saleh Bay. Early morning sessions provide the best chance to swim respectfully alongside these gentle giants in calm open waters.

The voyage then continues east to Komodo National Park. Here, Komodo snorkeling takes place every day, exploring colorful reefs near Pink Beach, drift sites rich in marine biodiversity, and shallow coral gardens filled with reef fish. A guided walk on Komodo Island and a sunset hike on Padar Island complement the underwater focus.

Finally, the expedition concludes in Labuan Bajo, followed by a return flight to Bali. This 8D7N journey delivers manta rays, turtles, whale sharks, and daily Komodo snorkeling in one extraordinary Indonesian expedition.
