Komodo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage marine and terrestrial national park in Komodo District, West Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, between Flores and Sumbawa. Established in 1980 to protect the endemic Komodo dragon, it encompasses Komodo, Rinca, Padar and numerous smaller islands with savanna hills, mangroves and rich coral reefs. It is notable for its Komodo dragon population, exceptional marine biodiversity and dramatic island landscapes.

On Komodo and Rinca islands, guided treks along designated trails with park rangers to observe Komodo dragons in their natural habitat. On Padar Island, a hike to a hilltop viewpoint overlooking three bays. At Pink Beach and other coves, white and pink sand beaches for swimming and snorkeling, and at marine sites like Manta Point, snorkeling and diving among reefs and marine life.
