Komodo, Moyo & Bali

The straits that connect the Indian Ocean and the inners sea of Flores funnel the waters across the channels between the islands of Komodo and Rinca, not only narrowing as it passes through, but also going from 1.000 m. outside to a mere 100 inside the straits. This colossal daily exchange of nutrient-packed waters creates many diving opportunities across its multiple minor islands and bays, with different environments promoting different ecosystems, from underwaters seamounts to ridges, walls, rich slopes and muck diving.

Above water, a microclimate of low-land savanna appears like some sort of Jurassic Park. This is the land of the legendary dragons, a prehistoric creature only found in these islands. Together with traditional boat-building tribes and settlements of sea-gypsies, this is a route that provides a complete experience, just a short one-hour flight from Bali.
