OVERVIEW
Imagine SUP'ing to some of the most remote beaches on earth, accessing areas rarely visited because your SUP board is the only way in or out. Imagine drifting over magnificent coral reefs and dodging small whirlpools that dot the seas in which you are paddling. Imagine visiting islands that are uninhabited and ones that are still inhabited by mythical Dragons. If you can imagine this, then our SUP Komodo Islands is for you.

The Komodo National Park is made up of approximately 30 islands between Sumbawa and Flores. These prehistoric looking islands are home to the Komodo Dragon, a creature that time seemed to forget. These mighty beasts are over 3m long and weigh up to 150kg. But don't let their slow nature fool you, when food or mating are involved, the Dragon can run nearly 30km per hour.

The Komodo Dragon however is just one attraction of the park. The area boasts some of the best marine life on the planet, with dozens of reefs in which we will snorkel. We will visit sites where manta ray and turtle are common. It is also home to uninhabited islands and glorious beaches.

We will visit small stilted villages and experience life on the sea like nowhere else.We will also visit remote water falls and small villages on the main island of Flores.

This 9 day SUP expedition from Bali is one of a kind and the first ever. At present we already run sea kayaking expeditions in the Komodo National Park. We have the infrastructure such as boat and equipment as well as the most knowledgeable team in the area to support us. You will be part of something that noone has experienced before, SUP'ing the Komodo Islands, Indonesia.

For those that wish to incorporate a SCUBA Dive on this expedition (highly recommended), we can arrange for a specialised SCUBA vessel to meet us in the Park for 2 dives for an additional AUD$130.

As part of this expedition, you will be helping to preserve the local eco-system through donations from No Roads and cleaning the park of all plastics as we go. Through the work that we and other like minded organisations do, we hope that the Komodo National Park will remain an attraction for our children's children.
