It’s advisable to book your flight tickets, travel tours and hotels or accommodations well in advance if you want to visit this time of the year, as there is a risk to not find any accommodations either due to unavailability or high prices.

September – November

Since there aren’t many tourists around this time, the whole atmosphere is tranquil and beautiful. In addition, you can find cheap travel fares and discounts on tours and accommodations during this time of the year, thus, a great time to plan for Komodo Island honeymoon.
