Do and Don’ts During Komodo Tour

Essential Tips for a Safe and Memorable Experience
A trip to Komodo National Park is one of the most extraordinary adventures in Indonesia. From spotting the powerful Komodo dragons to snorkeling in vibrant coral reefs, it’s a bucket-list destination for many. But, to fully enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime journey, it’s essential to know the do and don’ts during Komodo tour not only for your safety but also for the preservation of the wildlife and environment.

Whether you’re joining a one-day speedboat tour or a 3D2N liveaboard sailing from Labuan Bajo, following the right behavior is key to a smooth experience in the Komodo Islands.

DO: Follow Ranger Instructions at All Times

Komodo dragons may look slow and lazy, but they can move quickly and are capable of deadly attacks. All visits to Komodo Island and Rinca Island are conducted with certified local rangers for your safety. Always stay with the group and listen to your ranger’s directions.

DON’T: Venture Off the Trail

One of the most important don’ts during a Komodo tour is leaving the marked trekking paths. The landscape may look open and harmless, but dragons can be well-camouflaged. Straying from the trail puts you at risk and disturbs the natural habitat.

DO: Bring Essentials Like Sunblock and Water

Komodo National Park has a hot, dry climate with little shade during hikes. Prepare by bringing:

  • A refillable water bottle
  • Sunscreen
  • Hat and sunglasses,
  • Comfortable walking shoes or trekking sandals.

These simple items will make your tour more comfortable and safe.

DON’T: Wear Bright Red or Animal-Patterned Clothing

Komodo dragons have a strong sense of smell and sight. Wearing bright red or floral prints can attract unwanted attention. Stick to neutral or earthy tones. Avoid wearing perfumes or lotions with strong scents.

DO: Respect the Local Culture

Many Komodo tour packages include visits to local villages around Labuan Bajo or Flores Island. Be respectful dress modestly, ask for permission before taking photos, and support local artisans by buying handmade products

DON’T: Litter or Damage Coral Reefs

Help preserve Komodo’s fragile marine ecosystem. Never throw trash into the sea or leave waste on beaches and trails. Also:

  • Do not step on coral while snorkeling
  • Avoid touching marine animals
  • Use reef-safe sunscreen

Respecting the environment ensures others can enjoy it after you.
