Located east of Bali and easily accessible by an hour's flight, Komodo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site comprising two main islands, Komodo and Rinca, along with 27 smaller islands spread over a marine area of approximately 1,750 square kilometres.

A visit to Komodo is incomplete without seeing its famous residents, the Komodo dragons, in their natural habitat of monsoon forest and open savannah, alongside other wildlife. The underwater world offers equally spectacular sights as part of the coral triangle, attracting divers and snorkellers to explore its vibrant coral reefs.

Joining a Nomad Archipelago cruise provides an immersive experience, allowing you to enjoy a range of maritime activities, including snorkelling, diving, kayaking, paddle-boarding and beach combing at your own pace. The boat also serves as a unique mode of transportation, granting access to remote islands and facilitating visits to villages, hiking, trekking and cultural side trips, all in line with the ethos of slow travel.
