Komodo Island
Introduction – Explore the Legendary Komodo Island
Komodo Island, part of Indonesia’s Komodo National Park, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known worldwide for its incredible wildlife, crystal-clear waters, and dramatic volcanic landscapes.
Located in East Nusa Tenggara between Sumbawa and Flores, this island is home to the Komodo dragon — the largest living lizard on Earth.
A Komodo Island boat trip offers much more than dragon encounters.
You’ll sail through turquoise bays, snorkel above colorful coral reefs, hike to panoramic viewpoints, and sleep under the stars on a traditional wooden phinisi boat.
Lombok Travel Agent organizes private and shared Komodo cruises in collaboration with certified local operators in Labuan Bajo and Lombok, ensuring safety, comfort, and unforgettable adventure.

- World-class snorkeling and diving sites such as Manta Point and Kanawa Island.
- Opportunities for hiking, photography, and beach relaxation all in one journey.
