Day 67 - KOMODO, INDONESIA

 Date: 3/12/2024     Day 67                    Anchor Port: KOMODO, INDONESIA

Description: Indonesia’s isolated Komodo Island is a natural wonder of tropical savanna and scrubland, home to the famed pre-historic Komodo dragon. Komodo National Park is the only place on earth that they can be found in the wild. The island of Komodo itself is about 60 squares miles in area with dramatic landscapes of 2,000 foot craggy mountains, canyons, Savannas and monsoon rain forests in the valleys. Human habitation is therefore limited to only one settlement in Slawi Bay.

Planned Excursion: KOMODO DRAGONS

2.0 Hours                           Strenuous Activity                           # KOM-001: Free

Follow a park ranger through Komodo Island, seeking Komodo dragons in the wild.  Hear the blood-curdling details of how these giant lizards relentlessly hunt their prey.  Listen as the park ranger describes the lizards’ physical characteristics.

Today's Update: Another hot and humid day with no rain, just a few broken clouds.  Today was a tendering port were we took the lifeboats ashore.  Guides met us at the end of the pier and took us in small groups of about 15 on a 2 mile walk through the park.  We saw what we were promised please click on the link to the pictures below.
