First of all I will begin by the wonderful beauty of the nature surrounding you. The Archipelago, marine life, colors, and islands are just stunning. Unfortunately the Unique natural environment is r…Full review by Fabio C

My visit to Komodo National Park was profoundly underwhelming. After seeing many documentary this was a dream but I found nothing to justify its status as a "National Park." Thousands of visitors’ f…Full review by BiteBikeKiteTeam

We were on Flores for 4 days and spent one day going to Komodo NP and the adjacent Islands. Despite seeing 2 Komodo dragons fighting, the whole tour was very underwhelming and disappointing. Even goi…Full review by Janisbullock
Hi there .... can you make your own way to the Dragon park (say by taxi) and then buy a guided walk ticket from there (as opposed to paying $120 for the organised tour from the cruise ship) ???

As of our visit in late 2018, the shortest way for an independent traveler to visit Komodo Island was to fly to Labuanbajo Airport, walk or take a taxi to the center of town (which was quite small), and book a private tour by launch. We chose a daylong boat trip including an hour or two hiking through dragon habitat but also stopping to snorkel and to view manta rays. Our guide took realistic trick shots making it appear that we were petting a Komodo dragon. Although I suffered from amoebiasis from a mandi bath that week, I could enjoy the tour as it was not strenuous.
We are on a cruise ship going to Komodo Island and believe we must book a tour to be able to leave the ship and see the dragons. The ship tour says high level of fitness and 1 hour of walking. Can anyone please tell me is this a flat stroll or hoofing it up a hill? Roughly how many km are covered? Is it easy or hard walking? Any info would be appreciated (we have a young child and unfit adults)

If you are in Rinca Island you can see the Komodos near the kitchen in the Park HQ. Go for the shortest tour. It is enough to see dragons on the wild, The trial is easy and the slopes are gradual and not high. You can book a day tour that includes the Pink beach and the lovely views at Padar Island. Be sure to bring along a towel and trunks (swimwear) as the boat will take you to a lovely beach for a swim. Lunch is provided on board. You can also join a group starting from the ferry point. But make sure you bargain for the private trip by shopping around a day before.
