Komodo Island in Indonesia is about 500 KM East of Bali and is isolated from other islands. This has allowed endemic animal species to develop. To protect the large monitor lizards much of this island has been maintained as a National Park.
Many close encounters with these potentially dangerous animals can be experienced.
