As one of the islands forming the Komodo National Park, Rinca provides the

opportunity to see magnificent and fearsome Komodo dragons in their natural

habitat, along with other indigenous animals from buffalo to deer, monkeys and wild

boar. Guided hikes through the mangroves are possible, although very trying in the

overwhelming heat. The waters surrounding the island also offer a wealth of marine

diversity, with snorkeling in the coral reefs at its finest, and diving providing the

opportunity to encounter pelagics, dolphins, sharks and manta rays.
