Komodo National Park's mixed vegetation provides habitat and shade for animals such as deer, buffalo, pigs, wild boar, and long-tailed macaque. Komodo dragons (the world's largest living lizards) are the park's top predator. Overnight on board.

After breakfast, begin the ranger-led safari with a half-hour walk (2 km) to Banunggulung to see Komodo dragons in their natural habitat. This World Heritage Site is also home to deer, wild boar, and birds such as sulphur-crested cockatoo, megapode reinwardti and collared kingfisher. Cruise back to Labuan Bajo. Opportunity to swim or snorkel at Bidadari Island. Dinner and overnight at hotel. (Bajo Komodo Eco Lodge or Golo Hilltop Hotel)
