THINGS TO SEE IN KOMODO NATIONAL PARK
Kalong Island
Kalong Island is a small island near Rinca. This five-hectare island is surrounded by mangroves and is home to millions of flying foxes. With Komodo's spectacular sunsets as a backdrop, watch as the sky momentarily disappears under the sheer number of bats rising into the sky to feed for the evening. We visit Kalong Island on our liveaboard, Bajo Baji.
Padar
For stunning 360 degree views and iconic photos, hike to the top of Padar island. Many local boats offer day trips from Labuan Bajo visiting this must-see island. The trip is generally about 2.5 hours from Labuan Bajo and make sure to bring some sturdy shoes as the trek is quite steep. We offer Padar visits on our liveaboard, Bajo Baji.
Pink Beach
Pink Beach, or Pantai Merah, is one of just seven pink beaches in the world. This romantic looking beach gets its colour from the local red coral that grows in Komodo's incredible underwater environment. When the tiny fragments of red coral combine with the white sands, this produces the soft pink color that is visible along the shoreline. We offer trips to Pink Beach on our liveaboard, Bajo Baji.
Komodo's Reefs
We can't really say we're not biased, but Komodo's reefs really are the most incredible thing about Komodo National Park. With high-speed currents and gentle drift dives; colourful walls with monumental boulders and endless valleys of coral gardens; seamounts and alien lunar-like seascapes; Komodo boasts it all. Find out for yourself why Komodo is regularly rated one of the top places in the world to dive.
Komodo Dragons
Komodo Dragons are the largest monitor lizard on Earth, and can grow up to 3 meters in length and weigh up to 200 pounds. You might expect them to be slow, but they have been clocked at upwards of 15 km per hour.
