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.
