The Komodo Dragons

The legendary dragons of Komodo National Park are certainly not to be missed when Cruising Komodo — This UNESCO heritage site is now the only place in the world you can this prehistoric predator. The Dragons are 8 – 10 feet (3 meters) in length and truly one kind of experience – especially when active during the morning hours.

Along the way, there is a good chance to spot other wildlife, such as horses, the Timor deer (the main prey of the Komodo), wild boars, fruit bats, over 30 species of birds and the hefty water buffalos cooling down from the days warmth in an even larger mud bath.

Flowers & Mantas

The island name “Flores” is derived from the Portuguese word for “flowers” – and the island and its surrounding formations are indeed blessed with magnificent landscapes of nature, flora and fauna. Flores Island and the Komodo islands are separated by the Flores Sea, and between them lies a string of islets, each is blessed with breathtaking scenery.

The channels between the islands are nutrient rich due to the many current-swept flows in the area and are home to a variety of Marine animals. Graceful Manta Rays are permanent residents in these waters and there is a high chance to encounter these gentle giants throughout the park. Furthermore, Dugongs, Dolphins, a variety of sharks and ray species regularly are spotted in the rich waters of the Komodo National Park.

Whether you like to dive or snorkel, the underwater scenery of Flores offers an array of special encounters.

Not to be over looked, Komodo National Park offers a variety of beaches and bays to explore. Visit Padar and hike to its peak to see an photo-worthy view of its three tri-color shores! Snorkel along a pink beach and take a break to sunbathe on the soft coral-hued grains. Enjoy a romantic beach sunset in the quiet shores of virgin sands or family barbeque snorkeling in between bites!

Of course, another thing that makes cruising with us is our cultural island visits. The relaxed fishing villages are proud to show you a window into their daily lives and offer unique handicrafts to cement your memories.

But if you want to go deeper diving opens up another world.
