However exciting the diving Komodo National Park can offer, the region is about much more than diving Komodo alone. Archipelago recognises this by arranging several land excursions during cruise itineraries. All trips also include a visit to the ranger station and an early morning walk to hunt for the islands most famous inhabitants, the Komodo Dragon, these huge beasts are generic to Komodo and Rinca islands alone, having been marooned on the islands due to their location and the waters around them.
The Archipelago Expeditions land excursions during the Komodo cruises, are guided by the rangers of the of the Komodo Park, who will be happy to point out the Komodo Dragons and in addition, deer, wild boar, some of Indonesia's elusive snakes and insects.

Divers are then encouraged to purchase a string or two of the local pearls, wooden masks or other carved memorabelia, offered by the villages market near to the ranger station. Komodo cruises aboard the Adventurer II aim to give back to the region, a fair exchange for the incredible Komodo diving these islands offer to adventurous travellers. |
