Magic Mountain / Karang Bayangan

July and August are often considered the peak times to sail, but if you are researching the best time to visit Komodo Island, September is arguably the most rewarding season to experience the wild, untouched nature of the region. During this period, you can expand your horizons to explore nearby islands like Sumbawa, granting you a fascinating and unhurried sailing journey through two distinct Indonesian landscapes.

Every year on May 22, the world celebrates the International Day for Biological Diversity. It reminds us that our planet needs many different types of life to stay beautiful and healthy.  As a diver, some places stay in my heart forever. These are places where I do not just watch nature, but I actually feel like I am a part of it. For me, the magic of Komodo diving makes this national park one of those special places.

Komodo National Park is one of those rare places that still feels wild. Raw islands, powerful currents, and marine life that doesn’t just appear, but moves around you.  Over the past few years, its popularity has grown fast, with more than 429,000 visitors recorded in 2025. To protect this fragile ecosystem, a new regulation now limits access to just 1,000 visitors per day starting in April 2026.
