  • 10-Day / 9-Night Itinerary – Moyo to Komodo National Park
    Ultimate Indonesian Yachts 10-DAY / 9-NIGHT ITINERARY – MOYO TO KOMODO NATIONAL PARK Embark on a 10-day adventure combining a 3-night stay on land at the luxurious tented Amanwana Resort on Moyo Island with a 6-night sailing sojourn in the mysterious Komodo National Park. MOYO ISLAND Just off the coast of Sumbawa in the Lesser Sunda chain, Moyo Island is a pristine nature reserve home to stunning waterfalls and the luxurious Amanwana Resort. This opulent camp has 20 luxurious tented rooms set either on the beach or within the jungle. KOMODO NATIONAL PARK The Komodo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site consisting of 3 larger islands (Komodo, Padar and Rinca) and 26 smaller ones, many of which are uninhabited. Komodo and Rinca are home to the native Komodo dragons, respected by locals who believe they descend from one born to a dragon princess centuries ago. The islands turn from lush green to arid throughout summer, contrasting against the vivid blue of the sea. At first sight the mysterious islands of the Komodo archipelago might remind you of Jurassic Park, rising out of the Indonesian sea in great humpbacked ridges covered with windblown savannah grasses and the tousled heads of lontar palms. This is the land of dragons, where you can walk among the giant reptiles of Rinca Island (more spectacularly aggressive than those of Komodo itself), cruise through the mangroves and trek to grassy summits. The tropical waters of Komodo National Park has long been famous as one of the most species-rich tropical underwater environments on earth, with an official count of more than 1,000 types of fish and 260 corals.
