Komodo Island Tours & Vacation Packages

Komodo Island, along with Rinca and Padar, is one of the three larger islands and 26 islets that form the World Heritage-listed, Komodo National Park, a veritable wonder of nature best known as the natural habitat of the legendaryKomodo Dragon, the planet’s largest lizard species – males can measure up to 3 m (10 ft) in length and weigh up to 90 kg (200 lb) – that has roamed the region for more than 900,000 years. Komodo Island tours not only offer the opportunity for thrilling encounters with these elusive, scaly, fork-tongued dragons, but with their prey too, like the Timor deer, wild boar and water buffalo, as well as the chance to witness the sunset spectacle on Kalong Island as the resident colony of giant ‘flying fox’ bats fly away from their mangrove roosts to feed in their thousands.

Komodo Island tour packages may take you to the striking pink beach of Pantai Merah, one of only seven pink beaches on the planet formed from the degradation of red coral, on a hike to the highest peak on Padar for stunning views of the island’s crescent-shaped coves and spectacular volcanic scenery, or to one of 100 world-class dive sites in the heart of the ‘Coral Triangle,’ one of the world’s richest marine environments.
