Komodo Dragon Expedition
What you'll see
The journey, one day at a time
Arrive Flores
Arrive in Flores, met and transferred to your accommodation. Flores keeps the logistics simple — a comfortable harbour town to bookend the dragon islands.
Flores
Island-hop to nearby reefs and beaches by boat. Settle in at Labuan Bajo and take in the harbour and islands.
To Komodo National Park
Transfer to Komodo National Park. Take a ranger-led walk to find Komodo dragons, then snorkel the reefs. Dive or snorkel with mantas and turtles between the islands.
Komodo National Park
Dive or snorkel with mantas and turtles between the islands. Climb Padar for the island views and visit a pink beach. Few wildlife encounters are as primal as standing, with a ranger, near a three-metre Komodo dragon in the open.

Departure
A final morning in Komodo National Park — a last outing or a slow start as time allows — before the transfer onward and the journey home.
The season changes what you see.

Dry season — calm seas for the Komodo boats and reliable island weather.
Good season
Wetter and greener, with occasional rough seas.
