Destinations in West Flores

What West Flores is Known For

Komodo Dragons

The world's largest lizard, found only in Komodo National Park. Rinca gives you reliable sightings with shorter boat travel.

World-Class Diving

Manta rays at Manta Point, sharks at Crystal Rock, reef walls at Batu Bolong. Some of the richest marine biodiversity on earth.

Liveaboard Route

The Lombok–Komodo liveaboard crosses Wallace's Line and anchors at Pink Beach, Padar, and remote islands most day-trippers never reach.

Pink Beach

One of only seven pink-sand beaches in the world. The colour comes from red coral fragments mixed into the white sand.

Padar Viewpoint

Flores' most iconic photograph. A short but steep hike rewards you with a panorama over three differently-coloured bays.
