Komodo Island is located at the westernmost tip of East Nusa Tenggara Province, which borders with the West Nusa Tenggara Province. Exactly at Komodo district, West Manggarai regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Since 1980, the area was used as an area of 1817 km2 National Park by the Indonesian Government, which was then recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986. Together with two other large islands, namely Rinca Island and Padar, Komodo island and several small islands in the surrounding areas continue to be maintained as habitat for native reptile, dubbed the “Dragon” it.
Komodo or Dragon (Varanus Komodoensis) is actually a giant monitor lizard. Growing up to 3 to 4 meters in length, its ancestors roamed the earth up to about half a million years ago. Komodo live on goats, deer, and even the carcasses of its own kind. The only human population on the island is at the fishing village called Komodo who supplement their income-breeding goats, which are used to feed the lizards. The Komodo had protected by the law and although they are considered harmless, it is advisable to keep them at a distance.
Red Beach or Pantai Merah is a main station and old dragon feeding are located. Pantai Merah extend from surface down to 20 plus meters and is richly adorned in all manner of colorful sea life. Pantai Merah represents a trantition between tropical and temperate water habitats, north and south, and with fabulous fish and corals is a good introduction to Komodo. Snorkelling here is excellent over a healthy shallow reef. Diving is at the sloping reef edge where the bottom drops down to 25 metres. Half way along the beach front is the best spot, where the reef slope gives way to a more abrupt wall with lots of green branching cup corals and stinging hydroids.
Moyo Island, at the mouth of Saleh Bay, has a nature reserve with wild oxen, deer, wild boars and a great variety bird species. Visits are best made during the dry season from June through August. A few kilometers of the north coast of Sumbawa, the national park island of Moyo Island is probably the most rewarding destination in Sumbawa, surrounded by beautiful coral reefs and home to wild pig, monitor lizards, 21 species of bat, huge herds of native deer and hordes of crab-eating macaques. The best time to visit is in June and July, though the seas are clear and quiet from April. There are basic private rooms at the PHPA post at Tanjung Pasir on the south coast, where most boats from the mainland arrive. Renting a fishing boat from Tanjung Pasir and going fifteen minutes east to Stama reeft is very rewarding, with lots of sharks and turtles. There’s nowhere on Moyo to rent masks and snorkels so bring our own; fins are advisable due to the strong currents.
