the home of the largest living lizards ...

the komodo national park lies in the center of the indonesian archipelago and contains 175 islands from which around 90 percent are uninhabited. the park was initially established to conserve the unique komodo dragon, but conservation goals have expanded to protecting its entire unique bio diversity, both marine and terrestrial. the park is now a 'world heritage site' and a 'man and biosphere reserve' by the unesco. due to the relatively dry climate and lack of water on many islands, the terrestrial fauna is of rather poor diversity in comparison to the marine fauna, but some species are endemic, such as the komodo dragon, one of the world's largest reptiles (3 meters or more in length and weigh over 70kg).

... one of the richest marine environments on earth

indonesia is the only equatorial region in the world where there is an exchange of marine flora and fauna between the indian and pacific ocean through strong current flow in the passages between the islands. thanks to these currents, that can intimidate even experienced divers, the marine life here is so extremely rich on species: over 260 species of reef building coral, 70 species of sponges are home to nudybranchs, frog fish, the tiny pygmy seahorse, snakes, turtles – an underwater paradise for photographers... mantas, sharks, dolphins, dugongs, napoleons, and even whale sharks come here to feed or hunt. the sites vary from gentle easy coral slopes to heart pounding adrenalin rides, from the warm waters of the flores Sea in the north to the chillier waters down south in the indian ocean, the underwater terrain is so varied with sheer cliff walls, pinnacles, sandy flat bottoms, underwater plateaus, slopes, caves, swim-throughs, channels, all with varying colours, sizes and types of coral both hard and soft.
