Komodo Island Luxury Cruise

Description

7 Days Alila Purnama Komodo Cruise
Embark Alila Purnama, a luxury boat on an adventure to the islands and waters in and around the Komodo National Park. The Park lies in the centre of the Indonesian archipelago, between the islands of Sumbawa and Flores. It was identified by WWF and Conservation International as a global conservation priority area, initially established to conserve the unique Komodo Dragon, the largest lizard on earth, and its natural habitat – the Komodo Dragon inhabits several islands in the area, most notably Komodo Island. Since then the Park’s conservation goals have expanded to protect its entire biodiversity, both marine and terrestrial. The waters here are home to one of the richest and most diverse marine environments, making it a popular destination for diving. Add to those sun-drenched beaches, turquoise bays, stunning coral reefs, starlit skies and gorgeous sunsets, the Komodo islands provide a stunning backdrop for riveting adventure and relaxation.
