Private Tour
Komodo & Flores Adventure 8 Days
Dragons, Pink Beaches & Prehistoric Landscapes
Tour Overview
Journey to one of Indonesia’s last true frontiers — the wild islands of Komodo and Flores. This 8-day expedition brings you face-to-face with the world’s largest lizard (the Komodo dragon), takes you snorkeling in some of the richest marine environments on Earth, and reveals the prehistoric landscapes of Padar Island and the tri-colored crater lakes of Kelimutu.
This is adventure travel at its purest — small boats to remote islands, treks through savanna grasslands, encounters with flying foxes at dusk, and nights under the stars. Far from Bali’s crowds, this is an Indonesia few travelers experience.
