If you are visiting Labuan Bajo, a dive in Komodo is a must do! It’s a fin’tastic choice as Komodo National Park is renowned as one of the top scuba diving destinations in the world. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as well as one of the worlds ‘New 7 Wonders of Nature’.

Komodo National Park is located within the Coral Triangle which homes some of the healthiest coral reefs you could imagine. Comprising of nearly 600 different species of coral, 6 of the worlds 7 sea turtles, giant manta rays, over 3000 kinds of tropical fish and much more. The tropical fish ID book could pretty much be your logbook entry for the day!

So whether you’re a manta lover, nudi-obsessed, a shark fanatic, a coral enthusiast or a current junkie, the choice really is a no-brainer because Komodo has it all! Dive in from Labuan Bajo and see for yourself.

Did you know Indonesia is the biggest archipelagic country on the planet? With over 17,500 islands your trip wouldn’t be complete without exploring at least a fraction of these spectacular havens.

During the dry season, the islands within Komodo National Park are mostly rugged, volcanic, dry savanna, yet quickly turn to a lush jungle green come wet season. Drastically different, yet equally stunning!

Some of the islands, such as Pulau Padar, provide picturesque hikes leading to dreamy panoramic views. Komodo even boasts of a rare pink sand beach – 1 of only 7 in the world. And along the way, you may even stop at one of the manta points for the chance to snorkel with these gentle giants. Bucketlist, check!

Uncover some of the spectacular caves of Flores. Not far from Labuan Bajo, lies Batu Cermin Limestone Caves where you will witness a remarkable light show. Generated by the sun, light beams through a hole in the cave and hits the mirror-like rock surface. This is how Batu Cermin came to be named. However, it’s not just the caves that are attractive about this location! The setting provides a stunning panoramic view over the mainland and is encircled by rainforest habitat where long-tailed monkeys and wild boars roam free. A great place to visit if you have a free morning or afternoon.

Also around 45 minutes away by car, you can discover Rangko Cave & Traditional Village – or “Goa Rangko” as it’s known locally. You will take a short 15-minute boat ride and a stroll over a wooden bridge elevated above the sea with its colourful corals. The cave is filled with many stalactites and a natural pool of crystal-clear, turquoise salt water. A special and unique spot to swim. The best time to visit Goa Rangko is at noon during low tide.
