Step ashore at Komodo Island -- a privilege available only to guests booked on this or another shore excursion.
You will travel on foot to Komodo National Park. Here, an English-speaking guide and park rangers accompany you on a walking tour in search of the Komodo dragon -- a fierce and rare reptile species.
Walk about one mile to the fenced area near Banunggulung to look for the dragons, with a chance to take some photos here.
Guests with limited walking capability can either walk partway or remain at the ranger station where Komodo dragons are occasionally seen. An open bar with soft drinks and mineral water is available at the ranger station and reception area.
Komodo's monsoon forests teem with other wildlife's activity, particularly in the morning before the sun is at its peak. Squawking cockatoos flock in often-leafless trees, disturbing large green imperial pigeons, black-napped orioles, sunbirds, flowerpeckers, and noisy friarbirds, while shiny black dragoons and enormous crows soar nearby.
Back at the finish point, you’ll have some free time to shop for locally-made souvenirs.
Notes:
Wear comfortable walking shoes. Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed. The Komodo dragons on Komodo Island are wild and are not artificially fed by local authorities. The park rangers accompanying this tour decide which route the trek will follow. Weather conditions can be extremely hot. Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable sunscreen. Bring bottled water. Only guests booked on this or another shore excursion are permitted by the authorities to go ashore at Komodo Island.
