Indonesia Exotic Tours of Rinca Island

Indonesia Exotic Tours of Rinca Island, also known as Rincah and Rindja, is a small island near Komodo island, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The island is famous for komodo dragons, giant lizards that can measure up to 3 metres (9.8 ft) long. Rinca is also populated with many other species such as wild pigs, buffalos and many birds. Being less known and less visited than Komodo it is an excellent place to see the Komodo Dragon in its natural environment with fewer people to disturb them. Day trips can be arranged from Labuanbajo on Flores by small boat at the park headquarters. The island's area is 198 square kilometres (76 sq mi).

Sea conditions
Exotic Tours of Rinca island and Komodo Island bracket a north-south passage between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea.

In June 2008, five scuba divers (three British, one French and one Swedish) were found on the Southern coast of Rinca after having been missing for 2 days. The group had drifted 20 miles (32 km) from where their dive boat abandoned them. They survived on shellfish and oysters.
