Weighing more than 300 pounds, the prehistoric-looking Komodo dragon, with its sharp, saw-like teeth and menacing eyes, leaves a lasting impression.
Founded in 1980 to protect the world's largest lizard, Komodo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a Biosphere Reserve.
Take an approximately 60-minute moderately active hike through the dry, tropical grasslands to a viewing point for a look at these massive creatures. You won't soon forget their wide, flat heads, rounded snouts, bowed legs, and huge, muscular tails.
Although Komodo National Park is famous for its most recognized inhabitant, it's also noted for its diverse marine life -- 1,000 species of fish, 260 species of reef-building coral, manta rays, sharks, dolphins, whales and sea turtles live in the park's coral reefs, mangroves, sea grass beds and semi-enclosed bays. After a boat ride, cool off in the sparkling waters of nearby Pink Beach. Snorkel gear is provided.
Take in the splendid views as your boat glides across the ocean back to the ship.
Notes:
Wear comfortable walking shoes. Tour requires a boat-to-boat transfer; you will get wet. Temperatures can be extremely hot. Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Wear your swimsuit under your clothing, and bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable sunscreen. Bring bottled water. Swim at your own risk. Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed. The Komodo dragons on Komodo Island are wild and are not artificially fed by local authorities. A park ranger will accompany all excursions. Only guests booked on this or another shore excursion are permitted by the authorities to go ashore at Komodo Island.
