Worth agreeing on before you meet

Respect Marine Life

Do not touch, stand on, or collect coral. Do not chase, touch, or ride sea turtles and manta rays. Maintain a respectful distance from all marine life and follow your guide's instructions. The health of Komodo's reef depends on responsible visitor behaviour.

Leave No Trace

Pack out all rubbish from beaches and boat trips. Plastic waste is a serious problem in the Komodo archipelago. Bring a reusable water bottle, refuse single-use plastics, and participate in beach clean-ups if you encounter them.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Labuan Bajo travel guide.
