Komodo
30 million years ago, the now-famous giant lizards of Komodo already populated this part of the islands, placed amongst the most unique on the planet. These volcanic, eroded, and sunny landscapes are full of riches both on land and under the sea.
An exceptional natural park in the heart of the Indonesian archipelago.
To be found between Asia and Oceania, is the fabulous Komodo National Park. Located between the islands of Sumbawa and Flores, the park offers you the opportunity to visit a seabed amongst one of the most beautiful in the world that will delight underwater explorers, young or old, equipped with diving bottles or a simple mask and a snorkel.
The multitude of islands reserves their share of magnificent landscapes; incredible bays, white sand beaches, and crystal-clear depths. The fauna and flora, on land or under the sea, is just exceptional and explains why the site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Komodo archipelago enjoys a very contrasting climate. The monsoon period that spans the months of January, February, and March contrast with the rest of the year when the climate is one of the driest in Indonesia.
The Sunda Islands enjoy a diversity of religions; Sumbawa is predominantly Muslim, Flores is 85% Christian and Sumba is mostly animist. These islands are relatively poor; the communities there live mainly off fishing, agriculture, and a bit of tourism.
Flores is the most visited island; Kelimutu Volcano and its changing color lakes, the beautiful bay of Labuan Bajo, and the discovery of the Ngada people in the center of the island are some of the attractions of this place.
Itineraries remain subject to change due to unexpected natural events (like weather, sea conditions… etc) government regulations, or other factors that are not under the Company's control. The Company shall make all efforts to communicate the issues fully and carry out the program as planned or find acceptable alternatives in full consultation with the Guests. Only if the duration of the trip is adversely affected shall The Company refund the difference between the planned/agreed Trip and actual Trip.
