-

 There are plenty of 'bucket list' travel experiences to be had on a Komodo Island tour in Indonesia. The island is a spectacular place to visit for anyone coming to Indonesia. Komodo Island has the largest lizards in the world and you can see them by taking a boat tour with Maika Komodo Tour.

This island is popular for giving you a closer look of the Komodo dragons which is basically one of the wildest animal in the world. Hence, this National Park is having wide range of islands with the pink and white sand beaches and has coral reefs for diving.

What is the location of Komodo Island?

This island is located about a two hour boat ride from the island of Flores in the East Indonesia which is basically a tropical island group being the part of Komodo National Park.

Komodo, Rinca, and Padar are the three main islands in the park, but there are many smaller ones as well, so it's great for island hopping! Padar Island is also very popular to take a boat trip to as well.

What is the best way to get around the islands?

A slow boat, a speedboat, or a liveaboardKomodo boat tour is the three types of boat to explore the islands. We offer options to use any of those and our customers are very happy with their experiences.

The local Boats are cheapest, but they take a longer time to travel since they are so slower. There is no doubt that speedboats are far faster and more efficient, but they are also are a bit more expensive, but we can offer group rates and accommodate you on your travel needs.

A liveaboard trip can be the best way, because you can take much more time to enjoy it and have a more memorable experience. Since you get to spend several days in the park taking in the sights and sleeping in a cabin, a Live aboard is highly recommended. Labuan Bajo is a small town that is easy to get around, so if you are looking at seeing any of the sites you can do that while visiting Labuan Bajo.

When should you visit?

Dragons can be seen all year round. Komodo tours to National Park’s highest season are between July and August, when temperatures are cooler and more comfortable. However, the park is also crowded with tourists during this time.

If you want to visit Komodo Island, stay away from the months of December to February, which are rainy seasons in Indonesia, and when the weather is unfriendly for sailing or trekking. There is usually no reason to go during these months other than to avoid the crowds. Although if you are a scuba diver, this is usually a better time to see Manta rays.

What is the Entrance Fee?

At the Padar entrance, there is a small booth where you must pay different entrance fees. Different range of fees is discussed as below: These are subject to change as well, considering the park is going through renovations.

• Entrance ticket to the National Park (Monday-Saturday): 150k IDR ($10 USD)

• Admission Ticket to National Parks (Sundays and National Holidays): 250k IDR ($17)

• Rec & Sports Retribution: 100k IDR ($7)

• Tickets for Padar are 150k IDR ($10)

• Rates for Komodo Ranger tours: 120k IDR per group of five or more ($8)

• Komodo Hiking Fee: 5k IDR ($0.30)

• Komodo Wildlife Observation Fee: 10k IDR ($0.70)

• The total cost of a 1 day park pass for Komodo National Park sums up to 500k IDR ($37 USD) per person.

What time does Komodo open and close?

Komodo Island will be closed by the Indonesian government in 2020 to work on conservation and rehabilitation.

Apparently, Komodo National Park had been closed for almost 6 months anyway in 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic, but reopened in August of the same year.

Officially, Komodo Island has opened!

When you choose to visit Komodo National Park or any of the island such as Padar Island, Rinca Island, or Manta Point, it will be worth the time to come to the area for sure and you can create an everlasting memory.

Breakthrough That Could Reverse Climate Change with Scaling Investments

  This past September ClimeWorks launched the world’s largest “carbon sucking” plant known as Orca designed to reverse global warming. It utilizes geothermal power from the Hengell volcano in Iceland to propel giant fans that suck air out of the atmosphere and pass it through a filter. The filter is then released of the CO2 that is subsequently converted into a carbonate and buried permanently beneath the rock layer. It is estimated that this plant prototype is capable of removing CO2 from the atmosphere that is the equivalent of 870 cars.   The beauty of operating these energy intensive direct air capture plants in Iceland is that there is virtually unlimited sustainable geothermal power in the country due to the volcanic landscape. It is estimated that the new full scale direct air capture plant that is currently under development could do the work equivalent to 40 million trees. In order to bring the planet to NetZero carbon emissions it is estimated that the scale of t...
