Explore the magical islands you will visit aboard Mega By Zada. Each stop offers a unique adventure from pink beaches to dragon encounters.
KELOR ISLAND
Ancient sailors called it "The Guardian." Dutch colonials built watchtowers on its crown. Local legend says it's a giant sea turtle turned to stone. A 20-minute climb rewards you with 360° views of dragon territories. The coral gardens below hide patrolling sea turtles in crystal shallows.
MANJERITE
Every sunset, tens of thousands of flying foxes launch from mangroves, creating a black river across orange skies. Ancient sea nomads believed these bats carried souls to the afterlife. Watch from your deck at 17:30. The sky will erupt. You'll forget to breathe.
PADAR ISLAND
Three crescent bays—turquoise, cobalt, jade—curve around dragon-spine ridges. Legend says a dragon princess died here protecting her brothers. Her body became the ridgeline. Her tears became three seas. The 30-minute climb is ruthless, but every explorer says: "I can die now."
PINK BEACH
One of only seven pink beaches on Earth. Microscopic red coral creates a rose-gold blush. Sailors once feared it was cursed by dragon blood. The reef drops from knee-deep to 50 meters—turtles, reef sharks, and octopi patrol waters so clear you'll think you're dreaming.
KOMODO ISLAND
Ground zero. The throne. Komodo dragons—largest lizards on Earth, unchanged for 4 million years. They sprint 20 km/h, kill with venom-laced bites. Trek with armed rangers. Watch them sun like kings. Feel evolution stare back. This isn't a zoo. It's their Kingdom
TAKA MAKASSAR
A sandbar that emerges at low tide, then disappears beneath waves. Sea nomads called it "Ghost Island"—a resting place for ocean spirits. Stand in the middle of the ocean with ankle-deep water. Snorkel where the island vanishes. Your private Maldives, but only for 2 hours.
MANTA POINT
A submerged pinnacle where currents collide, creating a cleaning station for manta rays with 7-meter wingspans. Divers call them "Royal Stingrays"—reincarnated ocean kings. The taboo: look, never touch. Watch them barrel-roll beneath you. Swimming with mantas IS your bucket list.
GILI LAWA
Twin islands—Lawa Darat and Lawa Laut—frame the golden highway between sky and sea. Ancient traders navigated by these peaks. At sunrise, watch the world ignite from savannah ridges. At sunset, the sky bleeds into three shades of fire. The 30-minute trek is steep, but the 360° view makes kings jealous.
SLABA ISLAND
Slaba rises like a fortress from deep blue—a volcanic dome crowned with savannah where white-bellied sea eagles hunt. Bajo fishermen call it "Pulau Rajawali" (Eagle Island), believing the birds are guardians of hidden treasures below. Dive the walls where currents deliver big fish, sharks, and swirling barracuda. Above: eagles. Below: an underwater avalanche of life.
SEBAYUR ISLAND
Sebayur guards one of Komodo's best-kept secrets: untouched coral gardens teeming with life. While others chase dragons, divers chase legends here—pygmy seahorses, ghost pipefishes, and macro critters hiding in soft coral forests. The bay is a natural aquarium. The hillside trek offers sunrise views without the Padar crowds.
KANAWA ISLAND
While crowds chase Pink Beach, explorers slip to Kanawa—pristine coral reefs, zero crowds. Fishermen once avoided it, believing the Sea Goddess protected these waters. The reef here is 80% live coral. Turtles nest on beaches. Blacktip sharks patrol shallows. This is the Komodo nobody talks about.
SABOLO ISLAND (RANGKO CAVE)
Hidden in Sabolo's limestone cliffs lies Rangko Cave—a saltwater cavern illuminated by a ceiling skylight. Sunbeams pierce the darkness, turning water neon blue. Local legend says bathing here grants courage to face dragons. Swim through the entrance tunnel. Surface inside the cathedral. Float in liquid sapphire while light dances on ancient rock.
BIDADARI ISLAND
Bidadari" means angel in Indonesian. One glance explains why. Powdery white sand. Turquoise shallows. Zero crowds. Fishermen say angels rest here between monsoons, leaving footprints in the sand that waves erase by dawn. Snorkel the fringing reef where baby blacktips patrol. This is your castaway fantasy—pristine, peaceful, perfect.

Ik had mijn solo reis naar Komodo National Park gepland met zowel spanning als twijfel – zou de realiteit aansluiten bij de beloften van een vip phinisi zoals Mega By Zada? Nou, laten we zeggen: het overtrof alles. Vanaf het moment dat ik aan boord stapte, voelde het als thuiskomen in een drijvende master suite van smaakvol design en ongekende zorgzaamheid. De crew? Zó attent zonder opdringerig te zijn. Ik verbleef vier dagen met een mix van solo genot en spontane connecties met een kleine dive group – de balans was perfect. We ankerten bij Bidadari Beach, waar de kristalheldere wateren me uitnodigden tot een midday snorkel sessie met ronde, glinsterende vissen. Daarna een korte hike op Padar Island voor de golden hour – de 360-graden uitzichten waren *literally* insta-worthy. Mijn enige mini-critique: de airco in mijn suite kon iets krachtiger, vooral na een warme dag. Maar dat nam niets weg van de algehele experience. De meals – van rijsttafels tot gegrilde vis met lokale kruiden – waren een gastronomische reis op zich. En laat ik niet vergeten: de drone shot die de kapitein nam bij sunset op Kalong Island. Pure magic. Voor wie zoekt naar exclusiviteit zonder formaliteit, is Mega By Zada de ultimate keuze. Ik ben al aan het plannen voor een friends getaway – misschien met Sanne van der Pol uit Dreumel, zij moet dit zien.

كمسافر يحب التصوير، وجدت في ميغا باي زادا القاعدة المثالية لاكتشاف جمال كومودو. من توقفنا في Manta Point حيث سبحت مع أسماك الراية، إلى التسلق في Padar Island للحصول على أفضل إطلالة، كل لحظة كانت جاهزة للـdrone shot. الكابينة كانت أنيقة، لكنني أتمنى لو توفرت مآخذ كهرباء إضافية قرب السرير. أما الـlounge area، فقد كان مثاليًا لعرض الصور المسائية. الطاقم قدم level عالي من الخدمة — من تقديم الشاي صباحًا إلى تنسيق الجداول حسب رغباتنا. الـitinerary كان متوازنًا: مغامرة صباحية، استرخاء مسائي. 4 أيام لم تكن كافية لاستكشاف كل الزوايا، لكنها كانت بداية مثالية. الـexperience ككل؟ لا تُضاهى.

Traveling with two kids (ages 6 and 9) across Komodo National Park in style? Mega By Zada made it not just possible, but extraordinary. The yacht felt like a floating villa—spacious, safe, and thoughtfully designed. Our children adored Crystal Rock; the shallow lagoon allowed them to snorkel alongside clownfish without fear. The crew even provided custom life jackets and a mini marine biology lesson. We spent a quiet afternoon at Bidadari Beach, building sandcastles far from crowds. Inside, the AC worked flawlessly, and the master suite’s layout gave us privacy while keeping the kids nearby. The only hiccup: limited kid-friendly movies on the entertainment system. But the staff quickly compensated with board games and star-gazing maps. Watching the kids sleep peacefully under the stars at Kalong Island—bats swirling in the dusk—was pure magic. For families wanting luxury without sacrificing wonder, this experience is unmatched.

Took my son on his gap year—a father-and-son trip with a stop at Manta Point that neither of us will forget. The mantas circled so close you could see the patterns in their skin, like brushstrokes. Mega By Zada’s crew treated him not as a guest but as part of the voyage. One afternoon, the first mate let him help chart our next leg. The yacht’s size—just 20 metres—meant we weren’t lost in corridors or formality. Cabins were snug but dignified; I appreciated the rainfall shower after a day in salt and sun. We anchored near Komodo Island and hiked with a ranger—dry, steep, and utterly gripping. My one critique? More插座 for charging devices in the lounge. But that’s minor. The galley served laksa so fragrant it drew us in before breakfast. This wasn’t a holiday. It was a conversation between sea and self.

Sailing Mega By Zada was a masterclass in understated elegance. The 20.88-meter Phinisi carries itself with grace, its sails catching the wind as we passed Komodo Island’s serrated coastline. We spent a serene morning at Kanawa, snorkeling above coral gardens alive with angelfish and turtles. The crew prepared a picnic lunch on the beach—fresh papaya, grilled fish, cold rosé. Back on board, the cabin’s natural ventilation worked beautifully, though I’d suggest blackout options for lighter sleepers. As a honeymooner, I cherished the private moments: coffee on the bow at sunrise, a massage on the aft deck. This yacht doesn’t shout luxury—it lives it.

From the moment we stepped onto Mega By Zada, the rhythm of the sea took over. The yacht’s classic Phinisi lines and warm interiors created an atmosphere of calm refinement. We spent a blissful afternoon at Long Beach, building sandcastles with our eight-year-old, then snorkeling at Manta Point where graceful giants circled below. The chef accommodated our daughter’s allergies without fuss, crafting delicious alternatives. The 20.88-meter vessel handled swells smoothly, and the cabins were quiet and well-ventilated. I’d have liked a few more reading lights in the saloon, but that’s a small note. The sunset yoga session on deck was transcendent. For families seeking beauty without compromise, this is it.

带两个孩子来 Komodo 国家公园,原本担心行程会太紧凑,但 Mega By Zada 的安排出乎意料地 smooth。我们从 Labuan Bajo 出发,第一站 Pink Beach 的浮潜让全家惊艳——珊瑚浅滩像调色盘,孩子们第一次看见海龟在身边游过。船员特别贴心,为小朋友准备了儿童救生衣和 waterproof face mask,还教他们用简易 underwater slate 画鱼。 Manta Point 的漂流体验堪称 perfect。我先生原本怕水,但在 guide 耐心引导下,居然和蝠鲼同游了十分钟。船上的 master suite 虽不大,但木质内饰和通风设计很 breath-taking,晚上能听见海浪轻拍船身,比任何 white noise 都治愈。 唯一的 tiny critique:wifi 几乎为零,不过这也成了我们全家 digital detox 的契机。Nusa Kode 的日落 hike 是行程高光,视野开阔得像 drone shot。如果下次再来,希望 itinerary 能多加一天,多停靠 Batu Bolong。

Our honeymoon on Mega By Zada redefined romance. From the private candlelit dinner arranged on Komodo Island’s secluded cove to sunrise yoga on the foredeck, every moment felt both spontaneous and exquisitely planned. The suite’s four-poster bed, draped in sheer linen, opened to panoramic sea views—an invitation to linger. We spent an afternoon snorkeling at Batu Bolong, where coral gardens pulsed with parrotfish and reef sharks glided beneath us. The crew’s discretion was impeccable; we never felt watched, only cared for. My only suggestion? A slightly broader wine list—though the aged Rioja they sourced upon request more than compensated. As academics, we appreciated the subtle nods to craftsmanship—the hand-carved woodwork, the sails stitched with traditional methods. Mega By Zada isn’t just a yacht; it’s a floating poem to slow travel. We left not just in love with Komodo, but with each other all over again.

Saya datang ke Komodo dengan ekspektasi tinggi untuk photography expedition, dan Mega By Zada delivered lebih dari yang dibayangkan. Sejak boarding, energy-nya langsung beda — crew-nya profesional tapi tetap hangat, seperti keluarga. Kita spend dua hari penuh di sekitar Padar Island, dan sunrise trek dari sisi utara? Absolutely magical. Warna landscape-nya — dari abu-abu ke pink ke gold — itu dreamy banget, especially saat kabut tipis belum surut. Saya bisa shoot nonstop, dan captain-nya sangat helpful, positioning boat di angle yang perfect untuk light. Hari terakhir di Pink Beach juga memorable; pasirnya lebih vibrant dari yang saya kira, dan snorkeling spot di sebelah barat cocok banget buat macro photography. Satu-satunya thing: wifi di boat agak inconsistent, tapi honestly, siapa butuh Instagram saat dikelilingi view kayak gini? Kabin saya nyaman, queen bed-nya firm tapi cozy, dan AC-nya stabil meski siang hari cukup panas. Mungkin next time I’d wish for one more day on board — 4 hari terasa cepat sekali. Overall, experience-nya sangat cohesive; dari food (Indonesian fusion dengan presentation ala fine dining) sampai navigasi. Mega By Zada bukan sekadar boat, tapi floating studio yang hidup.
