KOMODO NATIONAL PARK

Extraordinary experiences are everywhere in Komodo. Towering volcanic peaks, dinosaur-like lizards and bats that flood the skies at night, this movie-esque landscape is more exotic, more ancient and infinitely more primeval than any other place on earth.Plunging savannahs, arid in the summer and bursting with life in the winter, deserted white sand beaches, mountainous outcrops and turquoise oceans teeming with more species than any other place on the planet await your discovery. The scuba diving here is amongst the best in the world and over 1,000 species of marine life and 250 types of coral are found here. The Komodo Islands are so ecologically significant they were established as a National Park by the Indonesian government in 1980 and made a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1991.The infamous Komodo dragon, the biggest reptile on earth, up to 3 meters in length, roams freely across the region. Whale Sharks, manta rays, sea turtles and bottlenose dolphins are just four of more than 1000 species of marine animals that call Komodo National Park home. The park stretches a total area of 1,733 square kilometres, encompassing three main islands - Komodo, Padar, and Rinca - and 26 smaller islets.
