Getting ready for a trip to Komodo National Park, Flores, Indonesia? We recently embarked on a five day journey to explore this hidden Jurassic Paradise in the Flores Sea for our honeymoon. We were in search of private beaches with crystal clear reefs, pink sand, hiking trails along isolated volcanic hills and of course the world famous Komodo Dragons. For inspiration planning your Komodo Islands holiday itinerary see our 5D 4N Komodo Travel Guide.
