Nestled in eastern Indonesia, the Komodo Islands are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a sanctuary of wild landscapes, turquoise seas, and the legendary Komodo Dragon. This is where adventure meets serenity, far from the crowds.

The Komodo Islands are in eastern Indonesia, between the islands of Sumbawa and mainland Flores. They're part of the Komodo National Park - a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its pink beaches, world-class snorkelling and Komodo Dragons.
The easiest way to reach the Komodo Islands is by taking a short flight (about 1 hour) from Bali to Labuan Bajo on the island of Flores, the gateway to the Komodo National Park. From there, sail boats and liveaboards take travellers around the Komodo National Park and nearby islands for day trips or 2–3-day adventures.
