20 Photos That Will Inspire You to Visit Komodo National Park

Featured, Indonesia, Travel Photography

Komodo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage sight that includes three main islands:  Komodo, Rinca, and Padar, as well as numerous surrounding islands.  It’s home to the infamous Komodo dragon, but that’s just one of the many reasons tourists flock to this gorgeous destination.

You’ll be left speechless at the gorgeous landscape, rich marine biodiversity, and postcard perfect islands.

Sailing around Komodo National Park is definitely one of the highlights of visiting Indonesia, and should be a top priority for anyone planning a trip through South-East Asia.

If you haven’t been yet, these 20 pictures will definitely be inspiring your next holiday plans.

All of these photos were taken by me!


1)  All Aboard.

Waking up to these views every morning is pretty amazing…

4) Komodo Dragons

The largest living lizard in the world is a sight you need to see for yourself.  But not too close.  Their saliva is deadly.


5)  Sailing in Indonesia…

Warm water, beautiful beaches, and stunning views.  Does it get any better…?

These are just a few of my favorite photos I’ve taken during my travels through Komodo National Park.  It’s one of my favorite parts of the world, and a highlight of my travels in South-East Asia.

If you like these photos, please check out my Instagram for more of my travel photography!

Living on Gili Trawangan for the past 45 days has been everything I thought it would be and so much more… It’s been incredible to live and work in paradise, but unfortunately it’s time for me to leave. I’ve met tons of great people, and there’s a good possibility I’ll be moving back soon if a few things work out in my favor… Until that day comes, I’ll miss these stunning sunsets, swimming with turtles, and beautiful beaches. Terimah Kasih Gili T

      Thanks Samantha! Yeah, the water around Komodo is amazing! So many just tiny random islands that are perfect for swimming and snorkeling. If you come to South-East Asia — you gotta do a sailing / diving trip around Komodo and the other islands. It’s seriously amazing, you’d love it!

    The Dragons are awesome, and also a bit scary, haha. Apparently they have killer saliva! But as long as theyre fed, they pretty much chill and lay down a lot. But yeah, I fell in love with Komodo National Park! It’s so beautiful
