Absolutely — seeing Komodo dragons in the wild is one of the most popular activities to combine with scuba diving, and most dive operators offer easy ways to include both in your trip.
Komodo dragons are the world's largest living lizards, reaching up to 3 metres in length and weighing over 70 kg. They are found on only a few islands in the world, all within Komodo National Park:
| Option | Itinerary | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Day trip combo | 2 dives in the morning + Rinca dragon trek in the afternoon (swap the third dive) | Visitors with limited time |
| Dedicated dragon day | Full day for island hopping: Rinca trek + Padar viewpoint + Pink Beach snorkeling | Divers wanting a rest day between dive days |
| Liveaboard inclusion | Most liveaboards include a Rinca or Komodo dragon trek as part of their multi-day itinerary | Divers wanting a seamless all-in-one experience |
| Private speedboat charter | Custom itinerary combining specific dive sites + Padar sunrise hike + dragon trek in one day | Groups wanting maximum flexibility |
Park entrance fees apply per day (IDR 250,000 per foreign visitor). Ranger trekking fees are IDR 150,000 for Padar and IDR 200,000 for Komodo or Rinca Island, shared per group. Some dive operators include these in their package price, others charge separately.
