📍 Destination Overview
Labuan Bajo, a fishing town at the western tip of Flores Island, Indonesia, is the gateway to Komodo National Park, the only wild home of the Komodo dragon, a three-meter lizard akin to ancient dragons. Komodo's pink-sand beach mixes coral with white sand, and Padar has three colored coves. Vivid reefs, manta rays, dolphins and whale sharks make these world-class diving waters.
