Amazing place to meet the last dragon on Earth

I recently returned from a fabulous trip to Nusa Tenggara. Part of my wish for this trip was visit
a place to see the Komodo Dragons and surroundings. Yes I went there and I’ll tell you A place where
we can meet the last dragon on Earth and more information about it. We can meet many dragons in
Komodo Island. It’s located in Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. If you don’t know about it don’t worry, after
read this article you’ll immediately want to go there.

Komodo island is a small island where has many giant lizards, considered the last of their kind
remaining in the world today, the Komodo dragon. If you’re planning a trip to Nusa Tenggara Indonesia,
you should really look at putting a trip out to Komodo Island on your ‘to do’ list. My trip out to Komodo
National Park changed my view of Nusa Tenggara altogether, reminding me there’s just so much beauty
to be discovered and explored. So, to help you visit for yourself, here’s my guide on everything you need
to know about visiting Komodo Island and a few dreamy photos to inspire you to get out there and have
an incredible adventure!

Why you must visit this island? The answer is simple. it is absolutely, freaking beautiful! I could not get
over the perfect blue water, dramatic mountains and gorgeous weather. Everywhere we went I just kept
wanting to jump into the water and spend the day swimming. Komodo offers up a tropical paradise of
dreamy islands, strung together by the Flores Sea. Not only this, but Komodo Island is home to the
infamous Komodo Dragon; equal parts terrifying and mesmerising.

How do you get there?

Komodo Island is just one of the 17,508 islands that form Indonesia and is also part of the Komodo
National Park. One way to get there is to fly from a major airport, like Jakarta or Denpasar, to Labuan
Bajo. From here, you can jump on a boat and set sail for Komodo Island. A boat is the only way to
navigate these islands unless you’re uber-rich and have access to a helicopter. Trust me, the boat ride is
fantastic! It takes around 2 hours or so to get from Labuan Bajo to Komodo Island so you can do it as a
day-trip, but I’d recommend you spend a few days sailing the area if you can, as there’s so much to see
and do. You’ll want to take it slow, jumping off the boat when you can and just really enjoying yourself
in general.

Who will help us if something happens

Me and my friends arrived by boat and saw our first dragon as we were walking off the jetty, with the
absolute beast of a creature having a nice nap on the beach. We were greeted by a group of rangers,
who divided us up into groups of no more than 5 people and were assigned two rangers, one to walk
ahead of us and one to walk behind. It’s hard to describe how you feel when you see them because they
do look quite docile but you know how quick they can move and how deadly they are if they get you. I
felt weird when I saw them, but I never felt unsafe because there were so many rangers around us. They
will protect us from the Komodo.

when the best time to visit komodo island?

September to November is one of the best times to visit as you’are still spoilt with great weather and
warm days, but fewer tourists.
April to June also the best time to visit komodo island because it is the End of the rainy season, when
you’ll find the mountains alive with lush greenery. You’ll have the chance to spot whale sharks, the
weather is a bit cooler and the scenery on point after all the wet weather, though you may still get the
odd rainy day.

It’s pretty cool seeing the Komodo Dragons, but for me, I loved the adventure of it all more. It was so fun
climbing aboard the boat and whizzing along the Flores Sea out to Komodo Island. I absolutely loved the
gorgeous islands we visited along the way, spending hours jumping off the boat and swimming and just
soaking it all in.

Top tip: I highly recommend you visit the famous Pink Beach when you
visit the National Park. Make sure your boat operator makes a stop there
for at least 2-3 hours, it’s the perfect spot to swim, jump off the boat and
hike up to the top of the mountain for amazing views.
