🌅 Komodo Sunset Tour: Kelor Island, Menjerite Bay & Kalong Island

The Komodo Sunset Tour is a relaxing afternoon adventure that departs from Labuan Bajo and takes you to three of the park’s most beautiful spots: Kelor Island, Menjerite Bay, and Kalong Island. This trip is ideal for those who want a shorter excursion without missing the iconic Komodo scenery and sunset views.

Starting in the afternoon, the tour begins with a visit to Kelor Island, where you can hike a small hill for spectacular panoramic views of turquoise waters and green islands. Afterward, you’ll continue to Menjerite Bay, one of the clearest snorkeling spots near Labuan Bajo, known for its rich coral reefs and colorful fish.

As the sun begins to set, the boat takes you to Kalong Island, a mangrove-covered island famous for its natural phenomenon—thousands of giant fruit bats (flying foxes) soar into the sky at dusk, creating an unforgettable sunset moment.

This tour offers incredible photo opportunities, marine activities, and a magical sunset experience, all within a few hours.
