Dive at Castle Rock, the best dive site in Komodo with excellent visibility. You will have the opportunity to see sharks, turtles, dolphins, mantas, huge bands of fish and much more.
Go diving or snorkeling with manta rays at Manta Point, home to a seasonal population of roughly 40 mantas.
Cruise to Kalong Island (Flying Fox Island) to see thousand of fox bats flying out from their nets just after sunset. It takes nearly 20 minutes for the entire colony to mobilize, so this is quite a sight.
Visit Rinca Island for your first experience with the fascinating Komodo dragons. As the dragons are mostly unafraid of humans, they will be visible during your trek on the island, often coming right down to the beach and to other inhabited areas. Given the isolated nature of Rinca, it will not be uncommon for you to be amongst the only people here during your visit: take a 30-60 minute hike on one of the several hiking trails that weave through this virtually uninhabited island.
