Trip Overview
Spending three days on a boat exploring the beauty of Komodo's nature on this Komodo Island trip.
Departuring from Labuan Bajo, we set out with park rangers from Loh Buaya on a nature walk to explore one of the two preserved habitats of the world's largest lizard - the Komodo dragon. Weighing up to 350 pounds and with a total length of over 10 feet, these fearsome hunters charge swiftly to bring down a variety of herbivores including deer, pigs, and even wild horses. Their saliva is extremely poisonous: if their bite does not bring an animal down immediately, the prey will later succumb to a fatal infection.
The islands which make up the Komodo National Park feature the exquisite lontar palm, often covered in bright pink vanda orchids, which sprout epiphytically along the trunks of the trees.
We will also make our way through the protected waters of the Komodo National Park to the famous island of Komodo. The destination will be Pantai Merah Kecil, or ‘little red beach’, where we will spend the day. This small shallow bay is home to a spectacular variety of reef fish and corals and is a fantastic snorkelling site.
