Komodo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. This remote archipelago in East Nusa Tenggara is home to the legendary Komodo dragon, the world's largest living lizard. But the wonders extend far beneath the surface: Komodo's waters harbor some of the richest marine biodiversity on Earth, with manta rays, reef sharks, and over 1,000 species of fish patrolling pristine coral reefs.

April – June
July – September
April through June offers the best combination of calm seas, excellent visibility (up to 30m), and comfortable temperatures. July to September brings stronger winds but is prime manta season. The wet season (December–March) sees rougher seas but fewer boats.
The iconic tri-colored beach viewpoint. Anchor in the sheltered bay on the northeast side and hike to the summit for one of Indonesia's most photographed panoramas.
One of only seven pink sand beaches in the world. The coral fragments that give the sand its blush color also support exceptional snorkeling just meters from shore.
World-renowned cleaning station where oceanic manta rays gather year-round. Drift dives here regularly produce encounters with multiple mantas, reef sharks, and eagle rays.
The main Komodo dragon viewing area with guided ranger walks. Anchor in the wide bay and take a tender ashore for close encounters with these prehistoric predators.
A stunning hilltop sunset viewpoint with a protected anchorage below. Excellent snorkeling on the surrounding reef with schools of sweetlips and napoleon wrasse.
A submerged pinnacle rising from the deep, widely regarded as one of the best dive sites in the Coral Triangle. Strong currents bring pelagics and incredible fish density.
