• Don't walk alone. It is best to walk around with a ranger or guide.
• Don't disturb or feed komodos. Despite slow and lazy movement, this animal can suddenly turn aggresive and move fast.
• When trekking, please take a stick with you. Komodos are usually afraid when threatened with a stick.
• Please wear shoes. Komodo, Rinca, and Padar islands have 12 types of snakes and three of them are poisonous, namely green snakes living on trees, cobras and russel's viper who live on the ground in holes on the savannas.
• Women having their menstruation must report to a guide or ranger for special attention. Komodos have a very strong sense of smell and may turn agresive when they smell blood.
• Please bring along your insect repellant because this area has many mosquitoes who'll be excited at the prospects of having fresh blood.
• Most lands on Komodo and Rinca islands are savannas which are prone to fire during the dry season so smoking and making fires are prohibited.
