Between Sumbawa and Flores, isolated by magnificent waves and strong currents, Komodo and Rinca Island is home to the dragons.

The largest carnivorous lizards in the world live here. The island is home to thousands of Komodo dragons. Known as ora, they grow to 3m in length, 100kg or more in weight, and feed on deer and goat.

From the port of Labuan Bajo in Flores, it takes about 2 hours to get to the national park. Activities include Dragon spotting, hiking, and snorkeling around the island.

Rangers are knowledgeable and you will easily find the dragons sun-bathing. Ask the rangers to take you to the nest.

Personally Rinca Island is a better alternative. . It has as many dragons as Komodo Island, but is nearer to Labuan Bajo.

Underwater beauty abounds, the reefs are international class. Tours start at the bustling little town of Labuan Bajo.
