Flores: In search of the world's largest lizard
Leave the lakeside mountains of Munduk this morning and drive back to Denpasar Airport. A trip back toward the city is deserving of a stop in one of Bali's most famous temples, Taman Ayun. With dark pagodas that stand out against a bright green forrest backdrop, this is the perfect stop off before arriving to the airport. An afternoon flight brings us to the island of Flores.

Traveling in Komodo is a rare and extraordinary adventure, where rugged landscapes meet vibrant coral reefs and unique wildlife, including the legendary Komodo dragons. The islands offer an unparalleled mix of natural wonders, from pink sand beaches to crystal-clear waters perfect for snorkelling among seemingly untouched marine ecosystems.

Enjoy lunch on the beach, snorkel in the perfect water and soak up the sun before returning to Labuan Bajo for the evening.
Day 8
Komodo National Park Day 2: Snorkel and Trek
After rushing over the crystal blue water, arrive to rugged savannas and dense forests, where we'll meet a local ranger. Trek through Rinca Island in Komodo National Park to see the largest lizard in the world, the Komodo Dragon. After the opportunity to see them in the wild, snorkel through some of Indonesia's most incredible coral reefs at Manjarite and Kelor Island.
Day 9
Labuan Bajo to Candi Dasa: To Bali's Quiet Coast
A morning flight brings us back safely to Bali. We'll drive to the northeastern coast, stopping at the amazing Bat Cave Temple, Goa Lawah Temple, along the way. This afternoon we will arrive to Candidasa beach, one of Bali's best hidden gems. With one main road that connects the whole beachside town, you'll escape the busy, touristy towns for this quaint and picturesque fishing village. There's no place better to wrap up your trip than here.
Day 10
Sibetan Village: The Legacy of the Snake Fruit
When the active volcano Gunung Agung erupted in 1963, the farms and rice paddies of Sibetan Village were all but covered in ash and magma. Only one plant seemed to survive the tragedy, the Salak Palm and its sweet snake fruit. The villagers collected the Salak seeds and have since discovered 14 different species of snake fruit, 10 of which are considered extremely rare. On a bicycle tour through this village, have a chance to try the unique snake fruit and maybe even their snake fruit wine.
Day 11
Candi Dasa: Final Day in Paradise
With a free day ahead of you, opt to spend the day however you'd like. Feel free to plan your own adventure. Or opt to snorkel through the turquoise Candi Dasa water.
Day 12
Candi Dasa/Denpasar
After breakfast at the hotel, and maybe one last dip in the Balinese sea, your morning airport transfer will bring you to the Denpasar Airport in the early afternoon. Your Geluxe adventures ends upon arrival at the airport.
