Welcome to the mesmerizing world of Komodo dragons! As you embark on your Komodo Island tour, it's important to understand how to behave around these magnificent creatures. This article will provide you with essential guidelines and insights to ensure your safety, respect for the dragons, and contribute to their conservation. So, let's dive in!

Komodo dragons, also known as Komodo monitors, are the largest living lizards and native to the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang, and Padar. To act around them responsibly, it's crucial to comprehend their physical characteristics and behavior.

Komodo dragons are primarily solitary creatures, and their behavior is influenced by factors such as temperature, prey availability, and reproduction. They are cold-blooded, which means they rely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature. Komodo dragons are skilled swimmers and climbers, and they possess a keen sense of smell, making them efficient hunters.

Always maintain a safe distance of at least 6 feet (2 meters) from the Komodo dragons. Respect their territory and avoid approaching them too closely. Keeping a reasonable distance ensures you don't interfere with their natural behaviors, reducing the risk of accidents. For good Komodo Maps you can get a better idea of where to go

​As you embark on your Komodo Island tour, remember that your behavior around Komodo dragons plays a crucial role in their well-being and conservation. By maintaining a safe distance, respecting their space, and following expert guidance, you can have a memorable experience while contributing to their protection. Let's cherish these extraordinary reptiles and ensure they thrive for generations to come.

Komodo National Park was established in 1980 to protect the habitat of the Komodo dragon, the world's largest lizard. The park is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a Biosphere Reserve. The local communities living around the park, known as the Komodo people, have lived there for centuries and have a unique culture and way of life.  If you have time on a Komodo tour, you can visit one of the local fishing villages in the National park as well.

Manta Rays at Manta Point
Manta Point is one of the most popular dive sites in Komodo National Park, which is famous for its manta rays. The site is located off the coast of the island of Komodo, and the best time to visit is between December and February when the water is cooler, and the mantas are more active. These gentle giants can have a wingspan of up to 7 meters and are truly an incredible sight to behold.   There are many boats that visit this area because it is coming more and more popular.  You can go scuba diving with the mantas or snorkelling.  Options range from multi day Komodo liveaboard trips or daily Komodo trips.

Batu Bolong
Batu Bolong is another must-visit dive site in Komodo National Park. This site is known for its strong currents and impressive underwater topography, featuring a large pinnacle covered in colorful coral and surrounded by schools of fish. The site is suitable for experienced divers due to its challenging conditions, but the rewards are worth it. Divers can expect to see reef sharks, giant trevallies, and barracudas.  This site is for more advanced divers only, as the currents can become quite strong.  There is no snorkeling allowed at Batu Bolong because of past situations where the coral gardens have been damaged by careless snorkelers.

Siaba Besar
Siaba Besar is a lesser-known dive site in Komodo National Park, but it is definitely worth a visit. This site features a shallow coral garden that is perfect for snorkeling or for beginner divers. The site is home to a variety of marine life, including clownfish, nudibranchs, and moray eels.  The most popular marine animal to see at Siaba Besar is the Sea Turtles.  On a good dive you may see up to 15 or more of them.  Some of them are very large in size as well.

Another popular activity in the park is visiting Komodo Island to see the Komodo dragons in their natural habitat. These giant lizards are truly a wonder of nature and a unique sight to see.  When you get to Komodo Island, you will have to pay a ranger fee and it is advised to follow the directions of the ranger because Komodo Dragons can be dangerous.

My Name is Sherry and I offered to write a blog about My Komodo National Park experience.

​I was filled with anticipation as I prepared for my flight from Bali to Labuan Bajo. I had heard so many amazing things about the Komodo Islands, and I was eager to experience them for myself.  I have always wanted to see a Komodo Dragon and diving in Komodo National Park is something I was looking forward to as well! 

After a short flight, I arrived in Labuan Bajo and boarded my liveaboard boat.  I choose Maika Komodo Tour & Diving because they were recommended to me by a good friend. (she used their service as well)  I wasn’t sure what kind of Komodo Tour Package to choose but Tis (on WhatsApp) helped me out so much.    I was amazed by the kindness of the staff and and comfortable accommodations of the boat and the friendly and knowledgeable crew.

The first day of the trip was spent exploring some of the stunningly beautiful and diverse dive sites around the Komodo Islands. I saw a vast array of marine life, from vibrant coral reefs to sea turtles, reef sharks, and an incredible array of colorful reef fish. I was also lucky enough to catch a glimpse of some of the majestic Komodo dragons that inhabit the island as well.  In one day I got to scuba diving with manta rays and see 5 Komodo dragons.  Wow…what a great first day!

On the second and third day, I experienced the thrill of diving with Manta Rays again and exploring some of the more remote parts of the Komodo Islands. As with the first day, I was still so amazed by the grace and beauty of the Manta Rays, as they seem to do a beautiful dance around the water for us. Not to mention all the varieties of unique and colorful species of fish, and the coral reefs that provide a home for them. I also had the chance to visit some of the local villages and experience the local culture firsthand.  That was extremely uniques.  I got a chance to use the bahassa Indonesia I have been learning.  (I have a long way to go still) 

On the fourth day, I had the chance to relax and explore the local town of Labuan Bajo. I had the chance to explore a local market, sample some of the delicious local cuisine, and take in the vibrant atmosphere. I also had the chance to visit some of the local attractions, including the famous Batu Cermin Cave.  I highly recommend it as well. 

On the fifth and final day,  I was sad to say goodbye to the friendly crew and the other guests. But I was also filled with a sense of accomplishment, having experienced the best vacation of my life. I was also grateful to Maika Komodo Tours & Diving for their excellent service and hospitality, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing adventure in the Komodo Islands.  

My flight back to bali was quite impressive because the weather was so clear so I finally had the chance to enjoy the scenic flight over the islands. It was an incredible experience, taking in the stunning views of the islands from the air. I was amazed by the sheer size and beauty of the Komodo Islands, and I was filled with a sense of awe and appreciation for the natural beauty of this unique part of the world. 

If you are ever in Bali and want to take a quick few days to explore Komodo National Park, of scuba dive in Komodo, I highly recommend it.  It was such a memorable experience that I will never forget!

Information on Komodo Dragons.

Visiting Komodo Island on with a Komodo Tour package is a great way to see all that the National Park has to offer.  You can choose between Komodo Speed Boat trips or a multi day liveaboard trip.  
Komodo dragons are the largest living species of lizard, native to the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, and Gili Motang. These lizards can grow up to an average length of 2-3 meters (6.5-10 feet) and can weigh up to approximately 70 kilograms (150 pounds).
Komodo dragons are carnivorous and have been known to hunt and eat large mammals, such as deer and pigs. They are also opportunistic scavengers and will eat carrion if available. The Komodo dragon has a unique hunting technique where they bite their prey and then follow it until it becomes weak from blood loss and infection.

In addition to their impressive size and hunting abilities, Komodo dragons are also known for their powerful tails and sharp claws. They are agile climbers and swimmers, and have been known to attack humans on rare occasions.
Despite their fearsome reputation, Komodo dragons are listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, due in part to habitat destruction and illegal poaching. Conservation efforts have been put in place to protect these lizards and their habitats, including the establishment of the Komodo National Park in 1980.
Komodo dragons have a life span of around 30 years in the wild. They are solitary animals, except during the mating season when males will compete for females. Female Komodo dragons lay a clutch of around 20 eggs, which they bury and guard until they hatch around 8-9 months later.
Komodo dragons are part of the monitor lizard family, which also includes the Nile monitor and the water monitor. These lizards are closely related to snakes and are thought to have evolved from a common ancestor around 40-50 million years ago.

Despite their fearsome reputation and impressive hunting abilities, Komodo dragons are also known for their intelligence. They have been observed using tools, such as sticks, to help them break open eggs, and have been known to work together in groups to hunt prey.
Overall, the Komodo dragon is a fascinating and unique animal. Despite their reputation as fierce predators, they are also intelligent and have an important role in the ecosystems of their native Indonesian islands.
