Nicknamed “Turtle City,” Siaba Besar is one of Komodo's gentlest and most rewarding snorkeling stops — a calm, shallow bay where green sea turtles glide over seagrass meadows and coral gardens.
Siaba Besar lies in the calm central waters of Komodo National Park, a convenient stop between Labuan Bajo and the park's headline sites. Its sheltered bay has a gently sloping reef and seagrass beds that attract an abundance of green sea turtles — so many that snorkelers routinely encounter several on a single swim.
Because the bay is shallow and current-free, Siaba is ideal for beginners, families and anyone who wants relaxed, up-close marine encounters. The coral gardens also host reef fish, rays and the occasional reef shark, making it a favourite warm-up site on day trips and liveaboards alike.
Siaba Island features on most of our day trips and liveaboards. Talk to our team to include Turtle City in your Komodo itinerary.
