The Snorkeler's Heaven

Looking for the best snorkeling without strong currents? Welcome to Manjarite Bay (Manjerite / Menjerite).

Located just 35-40 minutes by boat from Labuan Bajo and near Kelor Island, Manjarite Island is known for its calm, shallow waters, coral gardens at 2-5 metres depth, and beginner-friendly snorkelling conditions with minimal current. It is often the first snorkel stop on a Komodo boat tour, and its sheltered water stays inviting year-round.

Why Visit Manjarite?

1. Best Shallow Snorkeling in Komodo
Snorkeling at Manjarite is pretty decent. Expect to see a lot of hard coral and plenty of small, colourful fish. Manjarite has almost no current and beautiful scenery both above and underwater. The water is exceptionally clear and calm, perfect for snorkeling even for beginners and families. Some lucky visitors even spot a green turtle!

2. The Iconic Wooden Pier
One of Manjarite Beach's iconic features is its long wooden pier. This pier stretches into the turquoise water and is one of the most Instagrammable spots on the beach. It's not really a beach in the traditional sense; it's more of a secluded lagoon.

3. Pristine & Uninhabited
This uninhabited island is a favorite spot for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts due to its pristine white sandy beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters. It provides a pristine, uninhabited retreat. Its clear waters and vibrant underwater life make snorkeling a highlight here, though the lack of facilities keeps the experience truly raw.

How to Visit:
Manjarite is usually combined with Kelor Island, Kalong Island, and Rinca on a half-day or full-day trip from Labuan Bajo. Since it's sheltered, it's perfect as your first snorkel stop before heading deeper into Komodo National Park.

Bring your underwater camera - the coral garden will not disappoint!
