Komodo & Flores
Dragons, pink beaches, and volcanic lakes in Indonesia's wild east.
Komodo National Park is home to the last dragons on earth: 3,000 Komodo monitors patrol the islands while manta rays glide through the currents below. Flores, the gateway island, holds Kelimutu's tri-coloured volcanic lakes, the Wae Rebo spider-web villages, and the Ngada megalithic culture. The region's luxury anchor is Plataran Komodo: a hilltop resort and beach glamping retreat on Waecicu Beach, where sunrise over the islands is the daily ritual and Komodo expeditions depart from your doorstep. A liveaboard cruise between Flores and Komodo remains one of Indonesia's greatest journeys.
We also arrange Ta'aktana and the Padar island viewpoint, with the Batu Bolong dive site nearby, arriving via Labuan Bajo (LBJ).
