Bali and Komodo Discovery

Komodo is part of the Lesser Sunda chain of islands. It lies between the substantially larger neighboring islands Sumbawa to the west and Flores to the east. Komodo and the nearby islands of Rinca and Padar make up Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the Komodo dragon. It also boasts crystal-clear waters teeming with vibrant coral reefs, exotic marine life like manta rays, and mesmerizing underwater vistas. Stunning pink beaches, lush forests, and breathtaking viewpoints create a complete picture of one of the best-untouched treasures of Indonesia. Home to the legendary creatures, Komodo has about 2,500 fairly ferocious dragons which live alongside wild boar, buffalo and deer. This kind of the world’s largest lizard can grow up to 3m long and weigh over 70kg found only in the wild in Komodo National Park (mainly in Rinca and Komodo islands). This makes of the park a unique and special place to visit. You can take guided tours to see these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat, either on foot or on a boat tour. Apart from exploring the wild life, scuba diving and snorkelling in the park waters are among Indonesia’s best. There are 260 species of reef-building corals, sheer-drop walls and around 1,000 species of fish and marine mammals, including manta rays, sharks, sea turtles, dolphins and whales. The waters in the south are cooler than those to the north, creating an ideal habitat for corals and reef fish, while to the north, rich plankton and nutrients attract a wide variety of temperate marine life. For snorkeling lovers, Pantai Merah (Red Beach) offers butterfly, parrot and triggerfish, giant clams and colourful corals at close range. The gorgeous beach is pink due to an abundance of red coral in the region.
