Komodo Island

Dragons that are, unbelievably, real and living exactly where the guidebooks say, a pink-sand beach coloured by crushed coral that looks digitally altered until you touch it, and diving among manta rays in currents strong enough to feel like flying.
The best time to visit Komodo Island is Apr–Dec, when typical daytime highs reach about 30°C (86°F).
