With its crystal clear waters, pink beaches, pristine natures, and jagged islands scattered across the sea, Flores’ Komodo National Park is a sight of behold.

The rarely inhabited region is part of the Coral Triangle, boasting impressive marine diversity on earth, which come only second to the more remote Raja Ampat of Papua. 

Untouched by mass development (thanks to its national park and UNESCO World Heritage status), Komodo has long dubbed as one of he last hidden paradise on earth and world’s best-kept secret. Just imagine Bali in the ’70s, where the beaches were not lined up with busy beach bars and the rest of the island were covered by lush greens. As destinations are scattered among islands and the water in betweens, sailing ship become the most convenient accommodation—allowing travelers and divers alike to access the far-flung sites without having to return to shore.
