Above the water the Komodo landscape is dotted with islands and islets of every description, their volcanic bases carved by eons of ocean wear, but their crowns are distinctive and unique.
While Bali is green and tropically lush, Komodo is much drier and features grassy meadows, rocky crags with a "savannah" type feel to the landscape. Hence a perfect habitat for its most famous residents, the Komodo Dragons, the largest lizards on earth!
Sharing the islands with the dragons are exotic birds, flitting among the trees. Pigs, deer and goats graze on the lowlands and buffalo wallow in the muddy creeks of Rinca while crab eating Macaques play on the beaches.

You may excused after visiting this website for thinking that Komodo was all about an underwater wonderland. There is however another creature living here that is easily capable of stealing the limelight away from the marine life - the Komodo Dragon.
These mythical beasts can grow up to three metres long and weigh nearly 150 kilos - easily capable of killing and eating a fully grown deer. On every Komodo dive trip we get to visit the island to see the largest lizard on the planet up close and personal, an awsome display of power and strength. Further afield we also find them on Rinca island where they can be seen menacingly roaming the beaches looking for food.

Trekking

On every Komodo dive trip we visit the mythical island for a morning trek into the interior. Apart from the famous dragons there is a lot more flora and fauna to be seen on the savanah like hills and plains and inside the leafy forests.
Wild pigs and deer forage in the undergrowth and the trees sing with imperial pigeons and suphur crested cockatoos. Wild orchids grow in the bushes and lontar palms can be seen flowering and fruiting.
Other land trips are also popular with our guests so we make frequent trips onto other islands to explore, climb, beachcomb and photograph to majestic scenery.
Lofty hilltops, spectacular pink sand beaches and mysterious flooded volcanos are just some of the wonderful sights that await you.

On any cruise to dive Komodo the scenery en-route is made all the more spectacular by the volcanoes on view.

As a major part of the "Ring of Fire", Indonesia is a very active geological area with volcanoes from one end of the country to the other and play an integral part in the way of life for millions of Indonesians. Volcanoes are also worshipped as being the home of the gods and places of intense magic. Gunung Agung in Bali and Rinjani in Lombok are given annual offerings to appease angry spirits.
