Komodo Whaleshark Trips | Labuan Bajo to Lombok Trip 4D3N | Lombok to Labuan Bajo Trip 4D3N
Komodo & Whale Shark trip is a unique combination tour that blends two of Indonesia’s most iconic marine adventures: exploring Komodo National Park and swimming with whale sharks in Sumbawa (Saleh Bay). It’s considered a premium adventure experience because it covers multiple islands and rare wildlife encounters in one journey.
🌊 What is a Komodo Whale Shark Trip?
This trip is a multi-day sailing tour (usually 3D2N or 4D3N) that starts from Lombok or Labuan Bajo and combines:
- 🐉 Komodo Island exploration (Komodo dragons)
- 🐋 Whale shark experience in Saleh Bay, Sumbawa
- 🏝️ Island hopping across Flores & surrounding islands
Important:
👉 Whale sharks are not found in Komodo National Park, but in Sumbawa, so the trip connects both destinations in one route.
🚢 Trip Experience
You will stay on a traditional phinisi boat, creating a live-on-board journey across the ocean.
During the trip, you will:
- Sleep onboard the boat
- Enjoy full meals daily
- Relax with ocean views & sunsets
- Travel between islands overnight
🐋 Whale Shark Experience
This is the main highlight of the trip:
- Swim with the largest fish in the ocean
- Completely safe & gentle species
- Usually done at sunrise for best visibility

Whale sharks can grow up to ~10 meters and feed on plankton, making them harmless to humans.
