Rinca Island, the second largest in Komodo National Park, is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. Home to more Komodo dragons than its namesake island, it also hosts deer, wild boar, and monkeys. Visitors can explore the island through short and extended dragon-spotting hikes, including a new elevated walkway that provides a unique perspective. The island’s white sand beaches offer a serene contrast to the rugged interior. After a day of exploration, visitors can relax at the café, browse souvenir stalls, or visit the Niang Komodo Museum to learn more about the local ecosystem and conservation efforts.
