Set out an incredible 8-day underwater journey with Tiaré, where every day creates a canvas of adrenaline dives and amazing underwater encounters. Presenting a rainbow of aquatic beauty, this painstakingly created trip from the dynamic waters of Labuan Bajo passes via the challenging sites off Gili Lawa Laut and Komodo Island.
From the minute you board Tiaré at Labuan Bajo, the journey promises a combination of excitement and luxury. Dive enthusiasts are presented daily shows of 3-4 dives featuring the magic of night dives at well-known sites including Crystal Rock, Castle Rock, Cauldron, and Gili Lawa Lighthouse. From crocodile fish and lionfish to manta ray and reef sharks, the strong currents reveal a rich underwater scene.
As your journey progresses Komodo Island takes front stage. Timed with tides and temperature, dives in Takat Makassar Reef, Batu Bolong, and Tatawa Kecil offer amazing landscape and various marine life from sharks and manta ray to turtles and giant trevally. Emphasizing leaffish, ghost pipefish, and the amazing underwater life of the night, the evening dives at Pulau Sebayur and Padar provide a magical touch.
Day 7 brings morning dives that set the stage for a single terrestrial connection, completing the adventure. After seeing the incredible Komodo dragons on their native land, it is time to bid farewell to the underwater beauties and sail overnight back to Labuan Bajo.
Even though Day 8 marks the sad end of the trip, the memories of incredible dives and encounters with aquatic beauties endure. Though you are saying goodbye to Tiaré, there is hope for you to return soon with the magic of the Komodo waters and the exhilaration of a diving excursion outside imagination.
