17 Islands Marine Park

Located off the northern coast of Flores, Indonesia, 17 Islands Marine Park is a cluster of uninhabited islets known for their pristine white sand beaches and vibrant marine life, including manta rays. Despite its name, the park encompasses more than 20 islands. One of the most notable is Ontoloe Island, which is covered in mangroves and hosts a large colony of flying foxes, as well as Komodo dragons. Visitors can explore the untouched beaches, snorkel or dive to discover the underwater world, and observe the unique wildlife that thrives in this protected area.
