Join us to snorkel Komodo and the surrounding islands on this beautiful and brand new liveaboard, Naga Biru. This unique snorkel liveaboard starts in Labuan Bajo, Western Flores, and spends the following eleven nights exploring Komodo National Park and beyond. We have selected a fantastic time to snorkel Komodo as many of the other liveaboards have moved up to Raja Ampat, leaving the park for us to enjoy in peace.

Naga Biru will be our floating home for the duration of this tour. With it, we’ll enjoy all the luxuries and amenities of a comfortable resort while also indulging in the exhilarating experiences of exploring seldom-visited reefs and islands.

On this snorkel liveaboard, we’ll be covering a lot of territory and visiting locations not otherwise accessible from a resort. We plan to spend a lot of time snorkeling the stunning reefs around central Komodo before heading further north towards the very tip of Komodo Island. Thereafter, we will leave the park boundaries for islands like Gili Banta and Sangeang Volcano.

The infrequency of snorkelers and divers visiting this isolated region has kept its reefs in absolutely stunning condition! On this tour, you can expect to see just about every type of anemone fish in Indonesia, cuttlefish, octopus, various species of crab and shrimp, nudibranchs, manta rays, several species of turtles, scorpion fish in all shapes, sizes and colors, sea snakes, reef sharks and so much more!

Marine Life Guide

This tour is partnered with Thrive Conservation. Find out how we support Thrive Conservation via this tour here.

Please note that the liveaboard’s itinerary/exact route is subject to change, at the sole discretion of the cruise director, based on the weather and ocean conditions.

Day 1 - Meet the group in Bali

On arrival in Bali (DPS) you will check into our Bali hotel and relax. Later there will be a group dinner where you can meet your fellow snorkelers and the Snorkel Venture group leader. We will spend the night here.

Day 2 - Arrive in Labuan Bajo

After breakfast, we check in for our flight to Labuan Bajo. On arrival, we’ll be met by a member of the Naga Biru team who will drive us a short distance to the port. We’ll check-in, unpack, and relax before a full boat briefing and an overview of the following day’s itinerary. Time depending, we may be able to enjoy an afternoon snorkel around one of the nearby islands.

Day 3 - 12 - Snorkeling from Naga Biru

Each day starts with a “light” breakfast before starting a site briefing for our first snorkel session. Each snorkel session will run for 60 – 90 minutes. From Naga Biru, we’ll board the smaller zodiac boats so we can be safely dropped in the shallows. All the snorkel sessions have surface support too, and you can jump on a tender and return to the main vessel if you prefer a shorter snorkel session. After our morning snorkel, we will return to our boat and dry off. There will be dry towels waiting on the dive deck for us. Additionally, a full hot breakfast will then be served.

Snorkel Komodo from the Naga Biru Liveaboard | Snorkel Venture

After our second breakfast, we hit the water again for another snorkel session on a nearby site. We return to the main boat for a delicious buffet lunch, usually 2 – 3 courses. Then, after a little break to allow our food to digest, we prepare for the third snorkel session of the day. Afterwards, snacks and beverages are served (you will not go hungry on this cruise!). Depending on the day we may additionally offer a fourth snorkel, which will be a night or sunset snorkel.

We intend to offer 3 snorkel sessions a day along with several night snorkels, as conditions allow. You are not obliged to participate in them all. Instead, you may prefer to relax onboard, read or sunbath.

We do have a rough itinerary which we intend to stick to. Being on a liveaboard affords us the luxury of being able to be flexible with things, particularly when weather or sea conditions are unfavorable. Then, we may make adjustments to the schedule so that we are always snorkeling in the best spots at the best possible times for not only weather but marine life sightings. Highlights on this tour should include snorkeling with mantas, floating over reefs bubbling from the volcanic activity below, thousands of flying foxes taking to the sky at sunset, endless stunning coral reefs, hiking Padar Island, dinners on the beach under the stars, trekking with the Komodo dragons, and so much more!

Day 13- transfer to Bali, tour ends

On our final morning, we’ll enjoy a final breakfast onboard. Thereafter, we say farewell to our lovely Naga Biru crew and transfer to the Airport for our flight back to Bali where the tour ends.

Please speak to a member of our team before booking any international flights.
