Overview
Komodo has two seasons — dry (April–December) and wet (January–March). The dry months bring the calmest seas and best diving, while the wetter months are quieter and cheaper. Manta rays and Komodo dragons can be seen year-round.

Still excellent conditions with fewer travelers and more reasonable prices.
Greener, quieter and cheaper, with occasional rain and the odd rougher crossing.
