Getting to Komodo from Bali is a great option for a memorable island-hopping holiday, especially if you have a penchant for exotic nature, discovery and the great outdoors. The Komodo National Park and its three islands – Komodo, Rinca and Padar – is a world heritage site, home to the world’s largest lizards or ‘dragons’. Its scenic landscape of hilly savannahs are as beautiful as its beautiful reefs under its calm waves, making it one of eastern Indonesia’s diving Meccas.
Often treated as a combination trip among divers and general travellers who have Bali as their primary holidaying spot, an added sea voyage or flight to Komodo via Labuan Bajo in the neighbouring island of Flores can serve as a highlight on your Bali-East Nusa Tenggara expedition. Here’s how to get from Bali to Komodo Island, where you can briefly escape from the ‘island of a thousand temples’ for the remote and rugged natural beauty of a ‘lost world’.
