Komodo Dragon Adventure Indonesia Komodo Dragon Adventure Indonesia The Komodo Islands are the stuff of legends. A remote tropical paradise ruled by dragons... or more accurately... the largest lizards alive on Earth today. Known as Varanus komodoensis, the dragons can measure up to 3 m in length and weigh up to 70 kg. This unique adventure takes you on a journey across the island of Flores (where the dragons also live), to the spectacular multi-coloured crater lakes of Kelimutu volcano, to villages of the Ngada people to see their unique thatched ceremonial houses and to the village of Bena, home to megaliths and long-tailed macaques. The climax of the trip comes as we reach the west of Flores and travel by boat to Komodo, Rinca and Padar Islands, all home to diverse wildlife, unbelievable scenery, some of the best coral reef snorkelling in the world, and the famous dragons which we observe in their natural habitat, safely with skilled local rangers as our guides! Join this adventure to see the best highlights of Komodo and Flores! Explore the land of the dragon, and see this unique reptile up close and personal! CHRISTMAS ISLAND CRAB MIGRATION: we have specifically designed this Komodo Dragon Adventure to run immediately after our Christmas Island Adventure (see our catalogue under Australia). Those that wish to undertake the Christmas Island trip will fly to Jakarta at the end of that expedition to join the participants of the Komodo Dragon Adventure group. We will all then fly from Jakarta to Maumere to begin our journey across Flores and Komodo. Join us for just the Komodo Dragon Adventure, OR both the Christmas Island Adventure and the Komodo Dragon Adventure to see two of Asia’s most incredible natural wonders! COST: US$2,230 per person for 7 days / 6 nights, all inclusive of costs on Flores and the Komodo islands (not inclusive of flights to/from Flores) (equivalent to approximately UK£1,650 or €1,970 at time of publication). START POINT: Jakarta International Airport, Indonesia. END POINT: Jakarta International Airport, Indonesia. DATES: For upcoming dates, please email us. This trip can be organised for you at any point during the year. Late January, February and March have rainy weather. April and May are recommended. June, July and August are not recommended as these months are the Komodo Dragons’ mating season (this is the hardest time to see them, and also when the Komodo Islands are busiest). September, October, November, December and the first week of January are excellent times to visit (especially October and November). GROUP SIZE: 6–10 BESPOKE TOUR: If you do not wish to join a group tour, we can customise a private trip to suit your dates and interests. Please email us for details. Email [email protected] for more information and to make bookings. Optional pre- or post-expedition extensions We can organise diving trips around the Komodo National Park on live-aboard vessels, or a great 2-day to the fascinating thatched conical “drum houses” of Wae Rebo village. Please email us for details. Getting there: Numerous flights with multiple carriers fly from Jakarta and Bali to Maumere (for the start of this trip) and from Labuan Bajo (at the end of this trip). Jakarta and Bali can be reached from major airports across the world. If you fly via Bali, it is easy to add a relaxing beach holiday before or after this trip in one of Bali’s luxurious resorts. KEY INFO The Komodo National Park is a bright jewel in Indonesia’s diverse archipelago. The park is Adventure formed of three big islands: Komodo, Rinca and Padar, plus many smaller islets making a total of 2,321 Km2 of protected land and sea. Indonesia Approximately 5,700 dragons call this stunning part of Indonesia home. The dragons were first documented by Europeans in 1910, when rumours of a “land crocodile” reached the Dutch colonial administration. Seeing Komodo dragons in the wild is an unforgettable experience. When accompanied by skilled local rangers, visits to the habitat of the dragon can be undertaken safely, allowing for incredible photo opportunities. But we must respect the dragons at all times, and remember their powerful and fierce nature. Even seemingly docile dragons may become unpredictably aggressive, especially when the animal’s territory is invaded by someone unfamiliar. When arriving in Komodo National Park, we will receive clear and detailed instructions: don’t look directly at a Komodo dragon, keep your head down, walk only along the trails, stay together with your group, one ranger goes in the front the group and the other in the back. Never go to the toilet alone, and girls on their period need extra attention and double security, as the dragons can smell the blood and might be more likely to attack. By law, we will be accompanied by a rangers (who has years of experience guiding tourists in the Komodo National Park). Many visitors are surprised at how slow and seemingly lazy the dragons are for much of the day. Dragons are often spotted sleeping, or lying on the ground digesting their last meal, or walking slowly looking for food. From a respectful and safe distance, we may observe these majestic animals and watch individuals interact. Trekking across Komodo, Rinca and Padar Islands is not difficult, and we will follow several excellent trails to the best dragon locations. The trails also offer the opportunity to see diverse birdlife and spectacular scenery. The view across Padar Island (which has several curved bays set amongst mountainous scenery) is one of the most spectacular views in all of Asia. The Komodo National Park is also home to some of the best coral reefs in Indonesia (even some of the best reefs in the world according to many divers). We can spend time visiting Komodo Island’s unique Pink Beach, and snorkelling in the National Park’s pristine waters to see the diverse underwater marine life. For those interested in scuba diving, we can arrange dive trip extensions, including live-aboard trips in luxury sailing vessels to sail around the Komodo National Park to reach the very best dive locations! Please contact us for details. ITINERARY Those undertaking the Christmas Island Adventure will arrive in Jakarta the night before Day 1. We can overnight in the airport hotel at Jakarta International Airport (rooms can be booked for you, if required). Day 1: Meet early morning at Jakarta International Airport and fly to Maumere on the island of Flores. We meet our team of guides at Maumere, and transfer by vehicle (approx 3 hours) to Moni village at the foot of Kelimutu volcano. Along the way, we van visit Jopu village to see an ancient ceremonial Saoria house built by the local Liones tribe. At Moni, we enjoy dinner in a local restaurant and accommodation at a hotel. Day 2: An early morning wake up call for departure to the Kelimutu volcano. We recommend departing prior to sunrise, but participants can decide the departure time as a group. A short, easy walk along a path with steps (approx 30 minutes) takes us to a lookout point to wait for a spectacular sunrise (bring torch / flashlight). Kelimutu means Mountain of the Spirits, and this volcano is known for its famous three coloured lakes in craters at the summit: turquoise, red, brown and black that arise from differing concentrations of dissolved minerals. The lakes change colour with the changing light of the morning. The amazing lake colours are best in daylight. As we descend, we may see long tailed macaques. We have breakfast back at our hotel, then continue our journey westwards, driving through the beautiful landscape via Ende to Bajawa. We stop at Wologai Village to see numerous ceremonial Saoria houses (often a good place to by civet coffee (coffee luwak)), we then visit a striking blue stone beach (where we have lunch), enjoy beautiful views of the Ebulobo volcano, visit Nagekeo village (home to gigantic, 2 m wide water buffalo horns said to be 800 years old) and Wogo village, home to fascinating traditional thatched houses, and ngadu (male) and bhaga (female) shrines/sacrifice huts. On reaching Bajawa, we enjoy dinner in a local restaurant and accommodation at a hotel. Day 3: After breakfast, we visit the traditional village of Bena, situated about 16 km from Bajawa at the foot of Mount Inerie. Home to the Ngada people, it is full of fascinating stone megaliths and ancestral shrines, as well as traditional houses. The village consists of two parallel rows of traditional, high thatch-roofed buildings. Prominent in the center of the village are ngadhu and bhaga, pairs of shrines/sacrifice huts – one for each clan of the village – representing the clan’s ancestors. We enjoy a guided tour around Bena, and can buy locally crafted ikat (tie-dyed woven cloth sarongs with beautiful motif patterns). At the end of the village, elevated on a small hill, a viewpoint affords breath-taking views of Bena, Mount Inerie and the Savu Sea. We then continue our drive west and can stop at a small village specialised in making palm wine, to see how traditional alcoholic spirits are brewed in Flores. We then visit a view point overlooking the unique spider web rice padi fields near Cancar town, and continue our drive to Labuan Bajo, arriving late in the evening. NOTE: as a group, we can collectively decide whether we use Labuan Bajo as our base for the next three nights (as detailed below), or (if everyone agrees), we can instead spend the next three nights on a live-aboard boat, motoring around the Komodo Islands (this offers the benefit of avoiding transit times motoring from Labuan Bajo to the islands).

Many insights have been gained by their studies of how places are shaped and identity constructed within the political and economic landscapes of tourism. Some critical geographers even suggest that a geography of tourism must not emphasize only the static nature of places and positions within tourism (for example ‘hosts’ and ‘guests’ as ‘fixed’ in their meaning and interaction), but recognize the importance of movement and fluidity, the ‘meeting’ of peoples that takes place (McRae 2003). McRae even suggests that the Saidian notion of ‘exile’ is worth exploring for a better understanding of the relations between tourists and locals and the ‘crossing and containment that is embedded in the core practices and politics of the contemporary world’ (2003:246).

  • A Walk on the Wild Side
    SCAPES Island Trail your chauffeur; when asked to overtake, he regards you with bewildered incomprehension: “Overtake?” Balinese shiftlessness and cerebral inertia exasperate, particularly the anguished Japanese management with their brisk exactitude at newly-launched Hoshinoya. All that invigorates Bali is the ‘Chinese circus’. Certain resort lobbies, Ricky Utomo of the Bvlgari Resort chuckles, “are like a midnight sale” pulsating with Chinese tourists in voluble haberdashery, high-heeled, almost reeling into lotus ponds they hazard selfies on. The Bvlgari, whose imperious walls and august prices discourage the Chinese, say they had to terminate afternoon tea packages (another Balinese phenomenon) — can’t have Chinese tourists assail their precipiced parapets for selfies. The Chinese wed in Bali. Indians honeymoon there. That said, the isle inspires little romance. In the Viceroy’s gazebo, overlooking Ubud’s verdure, a honeymooning Indian girl, exuding from her décolleté, contuses her anatomy à la Bollywood starlet, but her husband keeps romancing his iPhone while a Chinese man bandies a soft toy to entertain his wife who shuts tight her eyes in disdain as Mum watches on in wonderment. When untoward circumstances remove us to remote and neglected West Bali National Park, where alone on the island you spot deer, two varieties, extraordinarily drinking salt water, we stumble upon Bali’s most enthralling hideaway and meet Bali’s savviest man, general manager Gusti at Plataran Menjangan (an eco-luxury resort in a destination unbothered about

Edward H. Huijbens Examiner: dr. ir. Martijn Duineveld Wageningen University and Research Department of Environmental Science Cultural Geography Chair Group Master of Science in Tourism, Society and Environment i ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Tourism has been an inseparable aspect of my life, starting with having a passion for travelling until I decided to take a big step to study about it back when I was in vocational high school. I would say, learning tourism was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life considering opportunities and experiences which I encountered on the process. I could recall that four years ago, I was saying to myself that finishing bachelor would be my last academic-related goal in my life. However, today, I know that I was wrong. With the fact that the world and the industry are progressing and I raise my self-awareness that I know nothing, here I am today taking my words back and as I am heading towards the final chapter from one of the most exciting journeys in my life – pursuing a master degree in Wageningen, the Netherlands. Never say never. In completing this thesis, I received countless assistances and helps from people that I would like to mention. Firstly, I would not be at this point in my life without the blessing and prayers from my parents, grandma, and family.

  • KOMODO DRAGON Varanus Komodoensis
    KOMODO DRAGON Varanus komodoensis Location: The Komodo dragon (or ora) can be found in the lesser Sunda region of the Indonesian archipelago. This are includes the islands of Komodo, Flores, Rinca and Padar. Komodo is the largest of the islands, measuring roughly 20 miles by 12 miles. The Komodo dragon prefers to inhabit open lowland areas with tall grasses and bushes, but is also found on the beaches and in dry riverbeds. Young Komodo dragons are arboreal and live in forested regions. Diet: Carrion is a large part of the diet of adult Komodo dragons. It is common for them to attack and eat a variety of large prey, including goats, pigs, deer, wild boar, water buffalo and smaller Komodo dragons. Juveniles are more mobile than adults are, actively hunting and feeding on insects, small geckos, rats, shrews, and ground-nesting birds and their eggs. Komodo dragons ambush large prey and deliver a bite. They follow the injured animal until it succumbs to either blood loss or infection. The Komodo dragons’ saliva contains more than 50 different strains of bacteria that results in the death of prey from infection after being bitten. The Komodo dragon locates its prey by following a scent trail. Dragons frequently feed in groups; as many as 8 of them have been observed around a bulky carcass. The larger lizards monopolize the food, keeping younger individuals away by intimidating them or beating them off with sideways sweeps of their powerful tails. Once the bigger animals have finished eating, the smaller dragons are able to come in and feed.

  • Challenge Your Adrenaline by Taking One of These Volcano Indonesia Tours
    Challenge Your Adrenaline by Taking One of These Volcano Indonesia Tours As an archipelago, Indonesia lays on the meeting of several tectonic plates. Geologically, it is the reason why Indonesia has many volcanoes stretched from the West to the East. Though it sounds worrying to remember how dangerous a volcano can be, the area can be the perfect place to explore instead. Volcanoes are known for its fertile land and scenic view. Apparently, volcano Indonesia tour can be found across the country and below are six of the best destinations. 1. Mount Rinjani, Lombok Lombok Island on the Eastern Indonesia has the magnificent Mount Rinjani and its craters. This active volcano has three craters from its past eruption called the Kelimutu Lake. Mount Rinjani is the second highest volcano in Indonesia after Mount Kerinci in Sumatera. The lake has a magical view because each crater has different colors throughout the day. From afar, each of the craters would be seen to have green, blue, and red color. The local people have their own legend of the color of the craters. However, the color change might potentially be the result of the change in oxidation and reduction of the fluid in the craters. It may take around two days and one night to climb the mountain seriously and professionally. However, there are Indonesia tour packages that will offer an easier hiking option for beginners. 2. Mount Batur, Bali Mount Batur in Bali might be the easiest volcano to climb in the Indonesia tour list. In just less than three hours, you can get to the top of this active volcano.
