Komodo National Park

Situated in the centre of the Indonesian archipelago, between the islands of Sumbawa and Flores, the Komodo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site comprised of three major islands: Komodo, Rinca and Padar, and a number of smaller islands. These volcanic islands are inhabited by numerous animal species including wild boar, water buffalo, monkeys, wild horses, deer, and the impossibly large prehistoric lizards known as Komodo dragons. There is also much to see below the waterline with the park’s rich marine environment forming an ideal habitat for a diverse range of marine life including: 1,000 species of fish, dugongs, sharks, manta rays, whales, dolphins, and sea turtles. With its exquisite unspoiled beaches, crystal clear waters, and pristine coral reefs, it is no surprise that the Komodo National Park is considered by many to be one of the world’s best diving destinations.
