Komodo, Indonesia
No myth here, real dragons with forked tongues run about the island in search of prey and carrion. One of three major islands making up Komodo National Park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Komodo is the natural habitat of the Komodo dragon, a prehistoric-looking lizard up to 10 feet long. If you’re leery of these reptiles, the ecologically diverse waters around the island provide superb diving and snorkeling and are home to graceful manta rays, dolphins and even seahorses.
