Snorkeling Komodo National Park!
Komodo National Park may be famous for Komodo dragons, but there are few places on earth that can match this area for its robust, colorful reefs and abundance of tropical fishes! The prehistoric islands are in beautiful contrast to the rich underwater world! Join our small group of adventurous snorkelers on board our luxurious 5-star motor yacht for this incredible journey to the world’s epicenter for marine biodiversity!
Itinerary
Each departure is unique and hand-crafted to expose you to a diversity of marine habitats and the incredible snorkeling sites that can be found there. Komodo National Park offers a full range of marine habitats. From shallow coral gardens, sea grass communities, and seaward reefs in the north to the unique, species-rich habitats of southern Rinca. Add Gili Banta and the black sands of Sangeang volcano search for rare marine creatures and this is snorkeling Komodo at its best!
The usual disclaimer about weather and tides affecting the itinerary are only a bonus for us, since we use them to ensure we visit each site at the best times possible! Our snorkeling tour begins and ends in Bali, Indonesia, with one internal, round-trip flight.

What to Expect
Komodo is located about eight degrees south of the Equator and enjoys a tropical climate with temperatures that hover around 82º F (28º C) during the daytime and fall slightly at night. Water temperatures vary between 68º – 86º F (20º – 30º C). The large range in water temperature reflects the influence of oceanic upwellings that affect the south side of the islands.
