Besides the unique Komodo dragons and the rugged landscape, the national park is also known as one of the best dive locations in the world. It is a UNESCO world heritage, situated between Sumbawa and Flores and consists of 3 larger islands: Komodo, Rinca and Padar, as well as numerous smaller ones.
From pristine corals, mantas, sharks, turtles, dolphins, dugongs and giant pelagic animals to tiny pygmy seahorses, nudibranchs, shrimps and frog fishes, you’ll find the diversity of marine life inspiring. Komodo’s beaches, blue lagoons teeming with fish and some of the most spectacular underwater landscapes attract divers from all over the world.
The underwater topography is as diverse as the marine life. Dive sites vary from gentle slopes to walls, channels, flat bottoms, pinnacles, overhangs and caves covered by hundreds of different species of hard and soft corals.
This location is known for strong current, if you’re an advanced and adventurous diver, you can test your mettle here. But if you prefer calm and relaxed dives, we choose beautiful and sheltered reefs.
Komodo National Park has it all!
To dive from a liveaboard is an amazing experience with many advantages. The main one is that you will stay in Komodo National Park, which makes it possible to offer you early morning and night dives, evening under the stars with no light pollution, stunning sunsets and rises surrounded by the best that nature offers. Our boat ‘Weta Molas’ is ideally suited for multi-day dive trips with small groups up to a maximum of 8 guests.
On our North-Central cruises we offer 3 or 4 days trips and visit all the diving highlights of Komodo National Park. Additional we go trekking on Rinca Island to see the Komodo Dragons, watching the ‘flying foxes’ (bats) at Kalong and climbing one of the hills of Gili Lawa Darat (North Komodo) to enjoy a stunning sunset.
On our South cruise we visit beautiful dive sites in the south of Rinca and Komodo, which can’t be reached in a day trip. And one of the highlights is the hill hike on Padar Island for a beautiful sunset experience. (see program C).
The exact program of all komodo liveaboards will always depend on tides, weather and season, as well as the diver’s level of experience. We also try to accommodate the preferences of each of you as much as possible and will do the utmost to offer you an unforgettable liveaboard trip in Komodo.
