[citation needed] The island is divided in two administrative villages (desa): Labuhan Aji in the south and Sebotok in the north.

The area is managed by the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry in collaboration with the Natural Resources Conservation Center of West Nusa Tenggara.

Bird-watching enthusiasts can observe 86 species of birds, 2 of them endangered: the yellow-headed parrot and the Tanimbar Megapode bird (Megapodius tenimberensis) which is endemic to Indonesia; it nests in large sandy heaps, litter, and other debris, where the heat generated by the decomposition of the organic material serves to incubate the eggs.

Inside the Park there are also a few waterfalls; the biggest one is about 2 hours from Labuan Aji village, the others are within 15 minutes walking distance, in the forest frequented by a multitude of colorful butterflies.

There are a couple of lodgings on the island, the most prominent being Amanwana, a part of the Aman Resorts, which consists of 20 luxury tents that generally charge $2,000 a night.
