Komodo National Park Indonesia was established in 1980 and was declared a World Heritage Site and a Man and Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1986. The park was initially established to conserve the unique Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis).

Since then conservation goals have expanded to protecting its entire biodiversity, both marine and terrestrial. The Komodo National Park encompasses 1,817 square kilometers of spectacular land and marine wilderness, including the islands of Komodo, Rinca, Padar, and Gili Montagne and their surrounding waters. The signature land attraction on your Indo Aggressor (formerly Komodo Dancer) LiveAboard cruise will be an encounter with the world’s largest lizard - the flesh eating Komodo Dragon.

Many of our guests are avid photographers who like nothing more than hunting out weird and wonderful critters on the reef and sand. As part of the expanded Komodo itinerary we have added two locations to the west of the Komodo National Park – Sangeang Indonesia, an island volcano to the north of East Sumbawa and Bima Bay Indonesia, an inlet that meanders down to Bima town on Sumbawa. There are two specific sites in both of these areas that are producing a dazzling array of rare creepy crawlies on a regular basis – “Estuary” on Sangeang and “Fuzzy Bottom” at the entrance to Bima Bay - click here for itinerary

The  Indo  Aggressor visits dive sites in the Komodo National Park, part of the Lesser Sunda Islands and surrounding islands of Sangeang and Sumbawa.  Year round this area of Indonesia offers great diving. Water temperatures can vary greatly within the park ranging from a low of 22C in the south to a high of 29C in the northern region.

The Indo Aggressor aims to return to port on the evening prior to disembarkation. Final disembarkation will occur between 8:00 am – 1:00 pm at the end of the charter. Be sure to remember the suggested 24-hour no fly rule when planning your departure.

You will be transported to the Labuan Bajo Airport for a domestic flight back to Bali.

  Best time to dive this destination: 

  You can go liveaboard diving in Komodo all year round and the trips run all year and the busiest months are April and August. The dry season for the Komodo Archipelago falls between April and November and this is of course when the weather is at its best. This is followed by the rainy season between November to March (many consider the period just after the rainy season as the best time to visit).  

  January to March can have pretty rough surface conditions at the dives sites in the northern area, while the southern end and Rinca will have thee conditions in July and August, but none of these conditions affect the schedules. As for marine life, if you want to see mantas your best bet would be between December to February (but they can be seen all year). For sunfish (mola mola) the bet month is generally August.

  Dive conditions: The current can sometimes reach 8 knots in some places. these waters can be a real roller coaster with the risk of being washed away in the open sea and these guys are professionals. Currents are usually very strong on every dive site and diving in Komodo is mostly reserved to experienced divers with confidence in drift diving!  Never question the decision of your guide if they decide to cancel a trip for safety reasons; This current is why Komodo waters are so full of fishes and so clear. This current is due to the Komodo and Rinca island acting like a bottleneck between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. It is driven by tides so choose your dive site carefully which you can plan depending on the conditions. There are however some quieter dive spots for those beginners but you may miss the incredible action of big fishes swimming into the current.

  Water Temperature: Water temperatures can vary greatly within the park ranging from a low of 22ºC in the south to a high of 29ºC in the northern region. 5 mm wetsuit with hood and reef hook recommended
  Taxes & Fees: Komodo National Park/Port Fee: $150 (paid onboard). Note: Credit card payments onboard the yacht incur a 3% service charge.
