Good to know
This is where the largest lizard on Earth still roams wild. You trek with a national-park ranger who knows exactly where to look and how close is safe. Komodo dragons reach 3 metres and hunt with venom and patience. Short and medium trek routes are available.
Komodo dragons are wild — a sighting is very likely but never guaranteed. The ranger is mandatory; follow instructions, stay with the group, and never walk off alone.
