Loh Liang National Park (Komodo Island)
Iconic — Know Before You GoSeeing the dragons up close is genuinely special, but parts of the island are more developed and touristy than expected.
“On our bucket list for years — one of the highlights of the trip, though the on-island development caught us a bit off guard.”
Best for
- Bucket-list dragon sighting
Skip if
- You want an untouched, purely wild experience — manage expectations on development
Why Milo likes it
- Water clarity looked even better in person than in photos
- Rangers are knowledgeable — added real context on dragon hunting behavior, territory, breeding season
- The pier walk with rugged hills in the background has a genuine Jurassic Park feel
Know before you go
- Some areas felt more developed than expected — litter in spots, fairly persistent souvenir vendors
- People also live on the island alongside the dragons — a different setup than expected

Pro tip
Join a multi-island boat tour rather than visiting only Loh Liang — the surrounding islands (viewpoints, pink sand beaches, snorkeling, manta ray spotting) were just as memorable as the dragons.
