Land of the Komodo Dragon and seas filled with marine life

Komodo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the legendary Komodo Dragon. The park is made up of three main islands – Komodo, Rinca and Padar – and the waters that separate them are full of vibrant marine life.

Most people make the journey to Komodo National Park to see its famous inhabitants, the fiersome predators that look like they stepped straight out of the Jurassic period.

Sightings of the indigenous Komodo Dragon are not guaranteed but they are common. We recommend cruising the Komodo Islands on one of our luxury private vessels with opportunities to explore both life on land and underwater all from the comfort of your cabin.

The islands of the park, which are part of the East Nusa Tenggara islands, are surrounded by shallow seas filled with life. In fact the diving and snorkelling in this region is some of the best the world.

Highlights

Try to spot the Park’s famous inhabitants, the Komodo Dragons

A trip to the Komodo National Park is unlike anything else. To see these magnificent creatures up close, alongside some of the most beautiful scenery, really feels like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Exploring the island all from the comfort of a luxury vessel is the cherry on top.
