🐉 Komodo National Park – Dragons, Diving & Dramatic Islands

📍 Why Visit
Komodo National Park, in the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia, is an UNESCO World Heritage biosphere reserve famous for its Komodo dragons, rugged volcanic islands, and astounding marine ecosystems. It includes Komodo, Rinca, Padar, and many smaller islets with both terrestrial and marine habitats.

🏞️ Must-See Attractions

Trek on Komodo Island or Rinca Island to see the dragons in their wild habitat, plus deer, wild pigs, and lush landscapes.

Hike to the viewpoint on Padar Island for one of the park’s iconic panoramas: jagged peaks, turquoise bays, and three distinct beaches.

Relax or snorkel at Pink Beach, where red coral lends the sand a pink hue, and explore crystal waters around sites like Manta Point and Siaba Bay.

🌊 Water Worlds & Wildlife

Dive or snorkel the marine areas to see manta rays, turtles, reef sharks, and colourful coral gardens.

At dusk, visit Kalong Island to watch thousands of flying foxes (fruit bats) emerge over mangroves—an unforgettable natural show.

🧭 Travel Blueprint

Base yourself in Labuan Bajo on Flores—the gateway town for boats.

Allow 2–3 days to cover major islands and viewpoints; longer if you want relaxed snorkeling or diving days.

Best visited in the dry season (April–November) for clearer water, calmer seas, and better visibility.
