Islands and back in one day. You can get to Borobudor and back in one day but it would be a long day.
You have to fly from here to Labuan Bajo and then take a boat trip to either Rinca or Komodo Islands. Most of the boat trips are overnight events. You then have to hope that there is a plane back to Bali. The flights are often cancelled or postponed. You can also get there by boat but obviously this will take a lot longer.
For Borobudor, you can take an early morning flight to Yogyakarta. (you get there at the same time as you left Bali.) Then you have to travel by vehicle to the temple. After a few hours there you could take the return journey and be back in Bali in the late evening.
Either of these trips are well worth doing but it would be best to allow a few days. You will find many places in Bali that will be willing to book either trip for you.
