Komodo Island is about two hours by boat from Labuan Bajo. Its special attraction is the large number of Komodo dragons,  upto 5,000.Therefore, you can't miss this island when exploring Labuan Bajo. Over the centuries, the villagers of Komodo and the nearby islands of Rinca, where the majority of Komodo dragons live, have been able to live peacefully with these lizard predators. However, they still often graze goats on islands beyond the reach of dragons.

It is important to note that you must always walk with a ranger, even though they escort visitors into the hunting area with only a Y-shaped stick, which will be used in extreme cases to tie the tail dragon.

Fish species that swim freely, like leaf scorpionfish, or even aggressive species like crocodiles Everything will be an interesting experience for you on this trip.

Experience Island Hoping

Island Hopping (“island hopping") is a form of visiting many islands in a short time to have the richest experience. This is one of the familiar choices of tourists when exploring Labuan Bajo and visiting Komodo National Park.

Padar, the park's third-largest island after Komodo and Rinca, is where you can watch the sunrise over the mountains, beautifully "sculpted" by the sun and wind, and take in the view of the winding bays.

Meanwhile, Kelor Island, a small cone with dreamy white sand beaches, offers 360-degree views of towering volcanic outcrops in the Flores Sea.

For perfect selfies, visit the white-sand atoll of Karang Makassar, which is surrounded by pale turquoise waters.

Next is Pink Rock, a surreal pink-orange volcanic outcrop with unique veins of iron ore.
