Visit the STUNNING Komodo Islands in Indonesia 🐉🏝️🌞 🌊

Have you ever heard of the Komodo National Park? Probably not. Swap the hotel pool for a prehistoric paradise.

A quick speedboat ride from Labuan Bajo (on the mainland) takes you from morning coffee to trekking with dragons and snorkelling crystal-clear bays before the sun sets.

Since you can’t stay on the islands, base yourself in Labuan Bajo -- we've found a hotel stay starting from £8 per night.

How to do Komodo in a day:

The "Big Three" Itinerary: Book a daily speedboat (approx. 6 AM – 5 PM) to hit the park's heavy hitters in one go: the iconic Padar Island viewpoint, the world-famous Pink Beach, and the legendary Komodo Dragons.

Easy Logistics: Most tours cost £80–£100 and include hotel transfers, snorkelling gear, and lunch. Pro Tip: New for 2026, there’s a 1,000-visitor daily cap—book your boat at least a week early to secure your slot!

The "Hidden" Extra: Bring your passport and roughly IDR 650,000 (approx. £32) in cash. This covers the mandatory National Park entry, ranger fees, and trekking permits, which are usually paid separately at the gate.
