Komodo Trips & Tours

Enter an entirely new world on the shores of Komodo, where the wildlife rules the roost.
An adventure and nature-lover's dream, Komodo Island is best known for its namesake reptile, the Komodo dragon. The largest lizard on Earth, they can reach up to three metres in length and are even more fascinating in the flesh than on a TV documentary. Spot them in Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that covers multiple islands and a diverse topography of volcanic terrain, savannahs and pink beaches lapped by cerulean waters. Once you’ve scouted the dragons on land, head under water for an astonishing array of marine life. The diving is among some of the best in the world and you’ll discover a vivid tapestry of coral where technicolour fish and plenty of larger marine creatures dwell.

Things to do

What to do in Komodo

Komodo offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience for those seeking adventure and natural beauty. Trek through the rugged landscape of Komodo Island with a personal guide to encounter the famous Komodo dragons in their natural habitat. For those seeking underwater thrills, take a diving excursion to the pristine waters of Batu Bolong or Manta Point, known for their rich marine life, including manta rays and sea turtles. At sunset, relax on the pink sandy beaches of Padar Island, or take a scenic hike to its panoramic viewpoints. After a day of exploration, unwind on your private boat with a gourmet dinner under the stars, surrounded by the tranquillity of the park’s remote islands.

Something to think about

Something to think about

Komodo Island is extremely remote and there is no accommodation within the national park, so a guided boat journey is the only way to reach its famed shores.

Our trip went without a hitch! Couldn't be happier with the organization of the whole thing. Of course, Meg was fantastic. She gave us so much information up front and spent the time with us to help us figure out what would be best for us and what we really would want to do since it was our first time. I can't say enough about how much we appreciated that as well as how accessible and responsive she was for questions. I think having someone who has been to all the places and really knows how it will be is so helpful to people who have not done a safari before. I definitely would recommend to friends and family to use Timbuktu.

I really enjoyed working with Jenna and Nadine on planning our perfect African safari. Jenna chose the two most perfect camps for our stay. Both are super detail oriented and nothing fell through the cracks. It was great having them, knowing I can rely on both of them to ensure the trip went smoothly and we had the best experience possible. I will absolutely use Timbuktu when planning my next safari vacation.

I want to book all my future vacations through Timbuktu! I enjoyed working with Carola to plan and fien tune our vacation to Peru. She gave great advice and was always available to answer questions. Our service on the ground was seamless. The attention to detail and personal service made travelling virtually stress free, allowing us more time to enjoy and relax.
