Overview

You can choose any day of the week to explore the main attractions of the Komodo archipelago in just one day — from visiting pink sand beaches to meeting the famous Komodo dragons, the last living descendants of dinosaurs.

The Komodo dragon, the largest lizard on Earth, is also a unique inhabitant of this archipelago.

Komodo is located about 550 kilometers east of Bali and is a small archipelago in Indonesia. This is a place where time seems to stand still, and nature remains untouched by humans.

The surrounding waters are home to around 260 species of corals and diverse marine life — from rare fish to whales and dolphins. In the sky, you can hear the cries of flying foxes, and on the white sandy beaches, sea turtles often appear.

Seasonality:

  • March – November: the best time to visit
  • December: the rainy season begins, but the weather can still be pleasant
  • January – February: unfavorable weather conditions
