As the sun sets on an exhilarating 8-day expedition aboard The Lady Denok, the echoes of underwater wonders and seafaring adventures linger in the hearts of those fortunate enough to embark on this Komodo journey. From the warm embrace of the crew’s welcome on Day 1 to the final farewells on Day 8, this liveaboard experience has been a tapestry of exploration and discovery.
The voyage kicked off with check dives around Sebayur Island, setting the stage for an immersive journey. Days 2 and 3 unfolded in a crescendo of underwater marvels, from the vibrant soft coral gardens of Tatawa Besar to the adrenaline-pumping encounters at Crystal Rock and Castle Rock. The diverse marine life, including mantas, sharks, and schools of fish, painted a vivid canvas of the ocean’s splendor.
The Lady Denok gracefully sailed to Padar Island, offering captivating dives at 3 Sisters, The Secret Garden, and Pillar Steen. South Rinca Island beckoned with dives at Canibal Rock, Yellow Wall, and Torpedo Point. Manta Alley, Tanjung Sera, and the night dive at Loh Sera provided unforgettable encounters beneath the waves.
The penultimate day unfolded with dives at Pink Rock and Wae Nilu or Pengah Kecil around Pink Beach, creating a serene prelude to the journey’s end. The final morning dives at Pink Rock and Wae Nilu marked a poignant farewell to the underwater realm. With gratitude, guests headed back to Labuan Bajo, cherishing the memories created during this remarkable Komodo odyssey.
As The Lady Denok docked and guests disembarked on Day 8, a sense of fulfillment and appreciation permeated the air. The crew bid warm goodbyes, expressing gratitude for the shared moments of exploration. Until the next adventure beckons, the memories of Komodo’s breathtaking landscapes and vibrant marine life will linger, a testament to the enchantment woven by The Lady Denok and the wonders of the Komodo archipelago.
