Explore the Komodo National Park

Labuan Bajo is a getaway to Komodo Island and just a short boat ride away. Komodo Island became a National Park because it was declared as a UNESCO Heritage Site due to its protection and preservation for the population of Komodo Dragons. 

This reptile animal is only inhabited in this Komodo National Park, they are well adapted in open grasslands and tropical forests. You’ll be amazed the moment you spot them, Komodo Dragons are not found anywhere else by nature, meaning it is endemic to Indonesia. However, please be wary and maintain a safe distance from the animal. Visitors should always be accompanied by a ranger.

When you first reach the top after the hike, you will see the beautiful combination of the hills surrounding the sea and it slowly hits you that “Life just couldn’t get any better than this” moment.

Don’t forget to capture the best moment at the top after the long hike!
