It is possible for up to eight people to rent a boat for USD300-400 in Labuan Bajo, Flores, for a two-day adventure to the lost world of the Komodo dragon. On day one you travel through Labuan Bajo’s archipelago for a bit of snorkelling among some of world’s most richest coral seas. Expect to see corals of all shapes and sizes and of all colours imaginable, fish to match and the odd turtle if you’re lucky. The approach to the island of Rinca was like arriving to King Kong country as you know that the beast is there: Komodo dragon is the largest lizard in existence! Night on the boat but not before witnessing the flying fox spectacle at dusk - the biggest flying mammal in the world. Day two to the island of Komodo for a scary but scenic hike with the ranger always on a lookout for dragons. More snorkelling off the paradise island of Kanawa before sailing back to Labuan Bajo archipelago. Dream!
