Komodo Seasons: When to Visit for the Best Experience?
Imagine dreaming of a sunny holiday but encountering pouring rains and storms. The weather can be an unexpected challenge. In the dry season, the sea is calm, and the landscapes are vibrant, but everything changes in the rainy season.
The Komodo Archipelago is located in a tropical climate zone, which defines the weather conditions throughout the year. The average temperature is +27–30°C, and the humidity is quite high, creating a sensation of intense heat. The main factor affecting travel comfort is seasonality. Choosing the right time to visit will help you avoid unpleasant surprises and make your holiday as comfortable as possible.
The dry season from March to November is considered the best time to visit. The weather is stable, the sea is calm, and underwater visibility is fantastic.
- March–June: The beginning of the dry season in Komodo. There are still not many tourists, and nature is especially fresh, the island is lush with greenery after the rainy season.
- July–August: Peak season. There are more tourists, and boats and routes fill up quickly. Plan your trip in advance to book your spots. If your main goal is to see Komodo dragons, choose the months from March to June or September to November. During this time, the dragons are in their mating season, making them less active and preferring to hide in the forest.
- September–November: The tourist flow gradually decreases. It's the perfect time for those who want to enjoy a peaceful holiday and see all the sights.
The wet season runs from December to February. Stormy winds and rough seas can complicate island hopping, especially in January and February. Many boats cancel cruises or change routes for safety reasons. If you decide to go, it's better to have a couple of extra days in case the cruise gets postponed due to bad weather.
How to Get to Komodo?
Traveling to Komodo requires careful and timely planning due to its remoteness and limited transport options. There are no direct cruises from Bali.
Your adventure begins with a flight from Ngurah Rai Airport, Denpasar to Labuan Bajo. This is a small port town on the island of Flores, where all tours to the archipelago start. The flight takes about an hour and a half, but tickets sell out quickly in high season.
You can explore the Komodo Archipelago and visit several islands in one day on a speedboat or on a sailing yacht with cabins for a multi-day cruise. But remember, traveling in the rainy season can be risky, and due to the increased demand in summer, there might not be enough places on the desired route.
