What are Things to do in Komodo? Komodo Island is a destination like no other. Located in the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia, the island is home to the Komodo National Park, which is a UNESCO World heritage site. From trekking through its lush natural environment to snorkeling in its crystal clear waters, there is no shortage of activities to do on this amazing island. Here is a guide to the top 10 activities to do when visiting Komodo Island.
1. Trekking Through the Komodo National Park: One of the best ways to experience Komodo Island is to go on a guided tour of the National Park. To get there, first take a Komodo tour and then you can explore the diverse habitats, which are home to a variety of wildlife, including the famous Komodo dragons. When you arrive at the pier, you will come to the visitors station. This is where you can get information on the Dragons, pay the park fees, and get a local ranger to be your guide through Komodo Island. You have three options for hiking. The short trek, medium trek, and long trek. The most common of these is the short and medium trek. The medium trek takes about 45 mins - 1hour and the long trek can take much longer. From our experience, every guests who takes the long trek says they did not see any dragons or only a few, but most everyone see them on the short or medium trekking. If you do decide to do the medium or long trek, you may want to bring shoes instead of sandals.
2. Snorkeling and Diving in the Crystal Clear Waters: Komodo Island is a paradise for snorkelers and divers alike. With its rich marine life, the waters around the island are teeming with vibrant coral reefs and colorful fish. Pink Beach is right around the corner from the pier of Komodo Island.
