Settle into your uniquely designed tent with a private infinity pool before exploring the camp's facilities and enjoying traditional afternoon tea in the Officers Tent. Meet fellow adventurers and your expedition host Dr. Lawrence Blair for sunset storytelling, followed by an authentic Indonesian Rijsttafel feast at Mads Lange restaurant featuring ancient spice trail recipes.

Begin with your choice of Capella Curates experiences: guided jungle trekking through virgin rainforest to hidden temples or authentic Balinese water purification ceremonies. Indulge in a 90-minute traditional Balinese massage before departing for an exclusive evening at a historic Balinese palace. Experience a private tour with the High Priest followed by mesmerizing fire dance performances accessible only to your intimate group.

Craft your perfect Bali day with complete freedom to explore Ubud's vibrant markets and famous Monkey Forest, luxuriate by your private pool, or enjoy additional spa treatments. Evening brings culinary excitement at the award-winning Api Jiwa restaurant where master chefs create innovative Asian barbecue dishes in an intimate chef's counter setting with live cooking demonstrations.

Board your domestic flight to Labuan Bajo and transfer to the luxury Kudanil Explorer yacht, your floating home for the next phase of adventure. After yacht orientation and cabin settlement, enjoy your first check dive to familiarize yourself with Komodo's pristine waters. Anchor for sunset while witnessing the spectacular daily exodus of thousands of fruit bats emerging from hidden caves.

Wake anchored in a pristine bay before heading to the world-famous Manta Alley for encounters with gentle giants boasting 20-foot wingspans. The dramatic cliff scenery creates one of Indonesia's most breathtaking underwater experiences. Cruise to Padar Island for beach relaxation before ascending the volcanic peak for sunset views over the entire Komodo archipelago.

Begin with a ranger-guided expedition to Loh Buaya in search of Komodo dragons, the world's largest living lizards reaching 10 feet in length. These prehistoric predators roam freely across sun-scorched volcanic terrain. Afternoon brings snorkeling and diving at Pulau Saiba's pristine coral reefs, renowned for large populations of sea turtles, before trekking Gili Lawa Laut's hilltop for panoramic National Park views.

Explore legendary dive sites including Crystal Rock and Castle Rock where vibrant marine life thrives in crystal-clear waters with excellent visibility. Snorkelers experience the unique "Shotgun" passage between Gili Lawa islands, a narrow channel filled with schooling fish and pristine coral formations. Relax in the secluded Batu Monco bay, perfect for water sports and final diving experiences.

Discover Banta Island's remote pink beach outside Komodo National Park boundaries, where coral fragments create rose-colored shores. Hike volcanic hills for stunning panoramic views or enjoy final diving adventures in untouched waters. Evening culminates with a beach party celebration on paradise shores, sipping tropical cocktails while dancing on soft white sand as the sun sets over the Indonesian archipelago.

After final breakfast aboard the Kudanil Explorer, gather your memories and prepare for disembarkation, returning to Labuan Bajo Airport for your onward journey home.
