Komodo National Park Guide — Everything to Know

Your complete introduction to Komodo National Park — its islands, wildlife, history and conservation rules, and how to plan a responsible, unforgettable visit to this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

About the Park

A UNESCO World Heritage Wonder

Established in 1980 and named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Komodo National Park protects three major islands — Komodo, Rinca and Padar — plus dozens of smaller ones across 1,700 km² of land and sea. It exists primarily to safeguard the Komodo dragon, but its waters are among the richest on earth, home to mantas, sharks, turtles and over 1,000 fish species.

Sitting on the Wallace Line, the park is a meeting point of Asian and Australasian wildlife. A daily visitor cap, licensed-ranger requirement and conservation fees keep it protected. This guide covers what to see, how to behave responsibly, and how to make the most of your visit.
