FAQs About Komodo Island Tour Packages
Are Komodo dragons dangerous?
They can be, but you'll always be accompanied by licensed park rangers for safety during your visit.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes, especially for tours during the high season (July-August) or luxury liveaboards which often book months ahead.
Can I do Komodo in a day from Bali?
Technically yes — fly to Labuan Bajo early morning, join a 1-day tour, and fly back. However, we recommend staying 2-3 nights for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience.
