Search for the Komodo Dragon
The waters and islands around the Komodo National Marine Park are simply stunning. Due to them being accessible only by boat, they are well off the tourist trail (affectionately known as the banana pancake Trail) and are arguably one of the last untouched places you can visit without mounting a major expedition. Getting there is relatively easy via Bali or Lombok but to complete the journey you need to do this on a live aboard boat.
Our trips going there are relatively expensive compared to your typical backpacking trips due to the logistical challenges in getting you out to the islands, however the rewards are certainly worth it. If you want a completely unique adventure in mind blowing place and genuinely incredible travel memories and definitely consider saving the extra to go on one of these adventures. |
