Komodo is a popular island destination known for its opportunities for diving and observing the world's largest lizards, the Komodo dragons. Visitors can enjoy trekking with rangers and guides who provide information about KN Park and its surroundings. The park offers facilities such as accommodation, tourist information, cafes, toilets, souvenirs, and a port. Additionally, visitors can visit Komodo Village to experience the local culture of ethnic Bajo, Bima, and Makassar communities.
Fantastic and awesome experience sighting the Komodo dragons in their natural environment. It took some effort to walk around the island to search for these reptiles. We found them mainly near the water holes and they were not aggressive as long as they were not provoked. We were advised by the guides to keep a reasonable distance to be safe. Definitely worth a visit to be up close and personal with the dragons

This tour need more love for part to the local and the Labuan Bajo people. Will be different if they teach about the life and how it’s the community of Dragons… They just help you to take pictures. In Labuan Bajo you need to pay a Fee for 350.000 rupias for travel to the island and it’s sad found they even not have a good toilet for the tourist.

It's a lifetime experience to come to komodo habitat island. While it's very hot temperatures and sun heat, and you should bring enough water, you can feel a difference circumstances in the island. The sound of the crows will welcome you as you enter the gate. Came here in October and encounter only 1 adult komodo and 2 little komodos. There are lot of merchandise sellers in the island, and they got little upset and angry when you skip them

As the part of New7Wonders of Nature, Komodo Island is very beautiful. When you met the dragon, they look so tempting. It is good to start your day by tracking the forest of Komodo National Park and end up by saw the Komodo relaxing their morning time at the beach. I guarantee you will be very excited when you see this exotic dragon. Meanwhile, you can also enjoy the clear sea water when you are sailing from Labuan Bajo to the Komodo Island.

The real dinosaur that can you see now in this era. Komodo dragon is a ancient reptil and just a view island you can find this animal, and komodo island one of them. Becarefull because komodo is not a pet and it dangerous if you near from this animal. But don't worry the rangers in komodo national park will guide you if you entering this location. And they will give you a lot information about komodo. But don't expect you will find Komodo in your journey, because sometimes when matting season you will get disapointed when the Komodo is not appears, the rangers said that is could happend because is wildlife not in zoo. Maybe you will charge around 250 IDR for local and around 425 IDR for aliens. But it's still afordable for your experience, the place quite well maintenace, restroom is available, and have tracking path when you entering the jungle. When you going thirsty maybe you can buy in small local shop around here, the price relative more higher than in main island, but it's worth for touirsm place. If you want buy some souvenir i think the price here more cheaper than you buy in souvenir shop around airport.

Komodo Island is one of the famous tourism destination in Indonesia and the beautiful scenery will amuse all the tourist. No wonder this place became of new-7-wonder of nature. It is good to start your day by tracking the forest of Komodo National Park and then see the komodo dragon enjoying their time on the beach in the morning. The view from Komodo National Park is stunning. Looking forward to exploring new things in Komodo Island on my Christmas break this year.

Visited in August (not high season for dragons) and saw a few dragons - a couple of big ones and a baby in the tree. Supposedly it's much better in peak season. Still definitely worth a visit to see the dragons in their natural habitat!
David S — Google review
The island is beautiful, the trekking paths are easy and stress free, but public amenities like toilet still needed improvement, especially since this is supposed to be a world class attraction. I'm a little bit disappointed with the ranger because he seemed very reluctant to take us on a tour along the medium route (we didn't even take the long route), but was very informative. We're also swarmed by little children pushing us to buy souvenirs. It's a bit annoying but understandable since the pandemic hit their economy too. Please note that komodos are wild animals and there's always a chance you won't see one, especially on a hot day.
