Located 200 nautical miles east of Bali, the Komodo National Park is nestled between the large island of Sumbawa and Flores in Indonesia, all of which are part of the Lesser Sunda Islands. Accepted under the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Programm in January 1977, and officially declared a World Heritage Site in 1991, Komodo National Park encompasses 132,000 hectares of marine waters making it one of the largest protected zones in the world. 

Scuba diving in Komodo National Park is best done by liveaboard, which allows you to explore the area to its fullest.

The park and surrounding area boasts one of the world’s richest marine environments, with over 260 species of reef building coral, 70 species of sponge, marine worms, molluscs, echinoderms, crustaceans, over 1,000 species of cartilaginous and bony fish, marine reptiles, and marine mammals. Some notable marine species on this 7 night liveaboard itinerary include pygmy seahorses, anglerfish, nudibranchs, manta rays, dolphins, Napoleon wrasse and groupers.

As no visit to Komodo National Park would be complete without encountering the world-famous Komodo Dragons, our 7 night Komodo liveaboard itinerary also includes a land visit to observe these giant lizards in their natural habitat.

Please note: Diving and travel insurance are mandatory for all guests. 

Recommended dive experience of 50 dives and AOWD.
