Komodo Island, Island in Indonesia
Komodo Island is part of the Komodo National Park and is globally renowned for its native population of Komodo Dragons.
Komodo Island was uninhabited until the early 20th Century when the Dutch colonial government relocated people from the island of Sumbawa to cultivate maize on Komodo Island.
Komodo Village, one of the few settlements on the island, showcases a unique culture that has its roots in both the Bugis and Bimanese people.
Komodo Island is accessible through the port of Labuan Bajo on Flores, where local boats can take visitors across to the national park.
Komodo Island is not only home to the Komodo Dragon, but also a variety of other wildlife like the Javan deer, water buffalo and various species of birds, making it a biodiversity hotspot.
