Here there be dragons’ goes the old cartographer’s adage, and in Indonesia there are, with forked tongues, poisonous saliva and scaly bodies. Tracking Komodo dragons in the archipelago of the same name is just one of the experiences this vast country offers us on this two week trip through Sumatra, Bali and Komodo. We explore the jungles around Bukit Lawang looking for Orang-utans and various monkeys, take to the seas as we snorkel with a myriad of colourful fish and possibly swim with Manta rays and uncover the culture and natural beauty of central Bali.

We spend 11 nights in hotels (a mix of comfortable and standard) and two nights on the boat in Komodo National Park.



The nights on the boat are idyllic as we anchor in quiet bays but please be advised the accommodation is basic. Accommodation is a mixture of bunks in cabins and mattresses on deck with shared bathrooms. The reason we spend two nights on the boat is to maximise wildlife viewing around the islands.



Worth knowing



The hotel in Bukit Lawang only has cold water, but as outside temperatures are hot this is refreshing.

Single supplements are available (on request) for 11 nights only. The single supplement does not apply for the two nights spent on the boat in Komodo National Park. Please advise at the time of booking if you would like to request a single supplement.
