Overview
Take a trip to Komodo Island on your Indonesia Vacation
Komodo Island is located in the province of East Nusa Tenggara. Situated between Sumbawa to the west and Flores to the east, Komodo is part of the Lesser Sunda chain of islands and forms part of Komodo National Park. Komodo Island is primarily known as a natural habitat for the Komodo dragon, the world’s largest living lizard. First discovered by the Dutch in 1910, Komodo dragons were listed as an endangered species in 1915. Other inhabitants of Komodo Island are descendants of former convicts who were exiled to the island.
A popular destination for diving, Komodo Island also features Pink Beach. Actually comprised of a blend of white and red sand, the beach is one of seven in the world where visitors can swim and snorkel. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Komodo National Park was established in 1980. Although best known for its conservation of Komodo dragons, the park features various fauna such as buffalo, civets, cockatoos, macaques, deer, wild horses, and boars, as well as a variety of marine wildlife. Featuring vibrant waters, unique animals, beautiful beaches, and unspoiled corals, Komodo Island has recently been listed as one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature. It is sure to satisfy any adventure-seeking traveller.
The Komodo Dragon
While these creatures may not breathe the fire of their namesake, they are very dangerous animals. Komodo dragons are, in essence, very large lizards, carnivorous reptiles which can be as long as 3 metres/10 feet in length, and weigh as much as 150 kilograms/330 pounds. In the wild, they can live up to 30 years. As carnivores, they eat large prey such as water buffalo, deer, pigs, and even human beings. There are only around 6000 total Komodo dragons left in existence. The place to view them is Komodo Island.At a Glance

Offerings are placed everywhere, including sidewalks, entrances, and shrines. Never step on or disturb them.
Ubud is all about jungle, rice terraces, and spirituality—no beaches here. Munduk’s cooler climate and coffee plantations, meanwhile, offer a peaceful escape, while the Bali Swing remains a favourite for photos.
