Komodo National Park

The Island of Komodo, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, is a prime destination when visiting Labuan Bajo. It is a part of the Komodo National Park, which is under the management of the Central Government. The island is home to around 1,300 breeding Komodo dragons, which are the world’s largest lizard species, measuring an average of 2-3 meters in length and weighing at least 90 kg. Visitors can explore the island to observe these creatures while being guided by a Ranger who ensures their safety during the trip.
