Komodo National Park

Komodo National Park is one of the world's most extraordinary natural wonders and a bucket-list destination for wildlife enthusiasts and adventure seekers. Located in the Lesser Sunda Islands between Sumbawa and Flores, this UNESCO World Heritage Site encompasses three major islands (Komodo, Rinca, and Padar) and numerous smaller ones, protecting the planet's largest living lizard - the legendary Komodo dragon.

These prehistoric reptiles, which can grow up to 3 meters long and weigh over 70 kg, are found nowhere else on Earth. Watching these ancient creatures in their natural habitat is like stepping back in time to the age of dinosaurs. The park employs experienced rangers who guide visitors safely through dragon territories, sharing fascinating insights about these apex predators' hunting behavior, reproduction, and conservation status.

Beyond the dragons, Komodo National Park offers some of Indonesia's most spectacular marine biodiversity. The waters surrounding the islands host over 1,000 species of fish, 260 species of coral, and frequent sightings of manta rays, dolphins, whales, and sea turtles. The unique confluence of warm tropical waters from the north and cold currents from the south creates rich feeding grounds that attract diverse marine life.

The park's landscapes are equally impressive: Padar Island's iconic tri-colored beaches viewpoint, Pink Beach's rare rose-tinted sands created by red coral fragments, and countless pristine dive sites that rank among the world's best. The dramatic savannah-covered hills contrast beautifully with turquoise waters, creating postcard-perfect scenery at every turn.
