Frequently Asked Questions About Shenron
How many divers per dive guide?
Is Nitrox onboard available?
What are the best ways to travel to reach Komodo Island?
What is the best time to visit Komodo Island?
Travelers seeking fewer crowds and lush green landscapes might prefer visiting during the rainy season, from November to March. While some boat tours may be limited by rough seas, particularly in January and February, this period offers better chances of spotting Komodo dragons. Manta rays are often seen in large numbers between December and February, and September to November provides incredible underwater biodiversity.
For the best general experience with favorable weather, good diving conditions, and fewer visitors, April to June and September to November are the ideal time frames
