Komodo NP is a major focus of Aaranya tours and we organise multi-day live-on-board trips departing from Labuan Bajo in the island of Flores. The tours are packed with day time trekking, night time spotlighting, diving (optional) and snorkelling, birdwatching and caving.

Declared in 1980, the Komodo National Park is located within the Lesser Sunda Islands in the border region between the provinces of East Nusa Tenggara and West Nusa Tenggara of Indonesia. The park is 1,817 km2 in size of which 603 km2 is land, and the rest marine habitats. This includes three larger islands (Komodo, Padar and Rinca) and 26 smaller islands. Due to its unique value, mainly as the home range of the iconic Komodo Dragon, the park was declared a World Heritage Site and a Man and Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1986. The park is also within the ‘Coral Triangle’, a region with some of the richest marine biodiversity on Earth.

Recent surveys conducted by Aaranya in collaboration with the Komodo National Park Authority recorded 4 species of amphibians, 20 species of lizards, 2 species of marine turtles, 1 species of crocodile and 16 species of non-hydrophiine snakes.
