Before We Set Sail
Essential packing lists, safety rules, and the Do's & Don'ts to ensure a spectacular and safe voyage through Komodo National Park.
Packing List
Make sure you have these essentials packed in a soft duffel bag before boarding.
Reef-safe sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat to protect against the tropical sun.
Comfortable, sturdy shoes or sandals with grip for hiking the trails of Padar and Komodo Island.
Swimwear, rash guards, a quick-dry towel, and a dry-bag to protect your electronics on speedboats.
Personal medications, motion sickness pills, and a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated.
Best Practices
Follow these guidelines to ensure the safety of yourself and the marine ecosystem.
Always follow the strict instructions of your Cruise Director, especially during wildlife treks and snorkeling sessions.
The Indonesian sun is intense. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to prevent heat exhaustion during hikes.
Maintain a respectful, safe distance from Komodo Dragons, Manta Rays, and all marine life encountered on the trip.
Use soft duffel bags rather than large hard-shell suitcases for easier and safer storage inside your cabin.
Crucial Restrictions
Protect the National Park by avoiding these highly prohibited actions.
Never touch, stand on, or kick the coral reefs with your fins while snorkeling. They are extremely fragile ecosystems.
Do not attempt to feed, bait, or provoke the wildlife. Keep the wildlife wild and ensure everyone's safety on the island.
Never wander away from your designated group during National Park treks. The terrain is actively inhabited by predators.
Avoid single-use plastic bags or bottles. Help us maintain the pristine hygiene of the ocean and the vessel.
Now that you know how to prepare, secure your spot today for an unforgettable journey through Komodo National Park.
