As part of our thoughtfully curated day trip around the Komodo Islands, Kelor Island is one of the first destinations you’ll experience—and it’s the perfect introduction to the natural wonders of this stunning region.
Located just a short boat ride from Labuan Bajo, Kelor is a small, uninhabited island known for its calm atmosphere, panoramic views, and pristine waters. While it may be lesser-known compared to its famous neighbors like Padar or Komodo Island, Kelor offers a unique charm that makes it a favorite stop on our journey through the Komodo Archipelago.
What to Expect at Kelor Island
🏞 Scenic Hilltop Hike
A short but rewarding 15-20 minute hike will take you to the island’s summit, where you’ll be treated to breathtaking 360-degree views of the surrounding sea, nearby islands, and the Flores mainland. It’s one of the most picturesque viewpoints in the entire archipelago, and a great place to take in the beauty of the Komodo region.
🌊 Snorkeling and Swimming
Kelor’s calm, shallow waters are ideal for snorkeling or a refreshing swim. The coral reefs surrounding the island are home to a variety of colorful marine life, making it a great spot to discover the underwater world—even if you’re a beginner.
🏖 Relax on the Beach
If you’re looking to simply unwind, the soft white sand and peaceful shoreline provide the perfect setting. Sit back, take a deep breath, and let the natural beauty around you do the rest.
