Today is the day that you go to see some dragons! They may not have wings or breath fire but at up to 3m long a dragon is an apt description of these remarkable creatures that inhabit Komodo National Park. The island also provides a beautiful coastal setting and is famous for its clear white sands and offshore coral suitable for both snorkelling and diving. During the day, you will explore Komodo on foot and should have plenty of opportunities to see the dragons. You will have lunch and plenty of time for snorkelling on the picturesque pink beach.
