Best island parks to visit worldwide
Island parks are reached by ferry or tour boat and are usually seen in a day, which means the timetable shapes the visit. Komodo is a two-day boat trip from Labuan Bajo for most people; Rapa Nui is a flight into the Pacific and a ticket valid for ten days; Brijuni, Asinara and Pantelleria are day outings from the Croatian and Italian coasts; the Thai archipelagos of Tarutao, Ang Thong and Ko Chang mix park islands with resort ones.

Before booking, check what the boat ticket covers. On many islands landing is only allowed with a ranger or a licensed guide, numbers ashore are capped, and the last boat back leaves mid-afternoon. Several of these parks close for a monsoon or a breeding season. The pages here give the departure harbour, the crossing time, the parts of the island open to visitors and whether it is worth staying the night where that is possible at all.
