Komodo Island
Komodo Island is the larger island in the Komodo National Park. To reach Komodo Island, you can take a flight from Bali to Labuan Bajo, and then take a boat to Komodo National Park. The main destination of coming to Komodo Island is generally to see Komodo dragons. The footage of Komodo dragons in Animal World was shot here. Komodo dragons are lizards and reptiles. Of course, there are also diving, snorkeling and deep diving.Indonesia · Komodo
Komodo National Park
Komodo National Park is located in the waters between Sumbawa and Flores in Indonesia. Listed as a World Natural Heritage site in 1991, it centers on the three main islands of Komodo Island, Padar Island, and Rinca Island, along with several smaller islands and the surrounding waters. The park was originally established to protect the Komodo monitor, a species now found only on a few Indonesian islands, and this remains the primary area for observing them. The Komodo monitor, commonly known as the Komodo dragon, is the largest living lizard, with adults reaching lengths of up to 3m and weighing approx. 70 to 100 kg. They feed on deer and water buffalo, and also scavenge for carrion. Dragon viewing requires hiking along trails accompanied by a ranger. The dragons are more active in the early morning, while at noon they mostly hide in the shade. Both Komodo Island and Rinca Island have campsites and multiple hiking trails of varying lengths. The scenery in this sea area is equally spectacular: the hilltop trail on Padar Island offers a view of three bays with white, pink, and black sand beaches in a single frame, making it a popular spot for sunrise photography. The pink beach on Komodo Island gets its name from the red coral fragments mixed into the white sand, making it perfect for swimming and snorkeling. When snorkeling or diving at the manta ray observation point, you have the chance to swim with manta rays and sometimes encounter sea turtles. At dusk, you can often see flocks of fruit bats flying over the sea toward their feeding grounds. Most itineraries depart from Labuan Bajo port on the western end of Flores. One-day round-trip speedboat tours or multi-day liveaboards are common. The dry season has calmer winds and waves and higher water visibility, making it more suitable for boat trips and snorkeling.Komodo · 7.9km from downtown
Pink Beach
There are 7 pink sand beaches in the world, and Komodo just happens to have one. This beach is pink near the sea, very special, the sea water is very cool and crystal clear, and there are many sea fish visible to the naked eye. The turquoise waves, the dark green rolling hills, the azure blue sky, and the pink sand beach, all are so strong and clear that you will be stunned like a demon, forgetting that this is the world. Komodo's pink beach is actually red coral powder. From a distance, it is the effect of powder. There are hundreds of soft and hard corals and thousands of fish species in the pink beach water. It's also a good choice for snorkelers and beginner divers, as even the shallow waters are rich in species, making it a wonderland-like world.Komodo · 8.8km from downtown
Padar Island
Located in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, Padar Island is the third largest island in Komodo National Park, nestled between Komodo Island and Rinca Island. Padar Island attracts visitors with its unique topography and natural landscape. The island has a rugged terrain with volcanoes and hills surrounding deep bays, creating a spectacular landscape.

There are four deep bays on the island with beaches of different colors, including white, gray and pink sand, providing visitors with a rich visual experience.

A hike to the top of the mountain viewpoint offers a magnificent panoramic view of the entire island, especially at sunrise or sunset. The natural beauty of Padar Island and the rich outdoor activities make it a must-visit place when exploring the Komodo Archipelago.Komodo · 17.2km from downtown
Pulau Siaba Besar

The waters surrounding Pulau Siaba Besar feature vibrant coral gardens, making it an ideal base for snorkeling and scuba diving. The underwater landscape here includes both shallow sandy areas and deep coral zones, which is not only suitable for beginners to explore but also satisfies the curiosity of experienced divers looking to observe marine life in detail. In addition to sea turtles, divers may also encounter diverse underwater creatures such as reef sharks, cuttlefish, and rays, making every dive full of surprises. Although the island is not large, it attracts diving and nature enthusiasts from around the world with its pristine nature and rich marine ecosystem, allowing people to enjoy the tranquil island scenery while immersing themselves in a spectacular underwater world.Komodo · 23.7km from downtown

At sunset, take a boat to the Devil's Rock area, where visitors have a high chance of seeing huge manta rays gliding gracefully in the water. On the way back, the flying fox corridor is another highlight, with hundreds of Malay giant flying foxes soaring in the air, creating a spectacular scene.

I won't say much about the fun and sightseeing, but I'd like to remind you to be safe when island hopping. It's best to learn how to use the snorkeling equipment in advance. Most tour guides speak English, and many people go into the water before learning how to do it, which makes them choke easily.
Be sure to wear a life jacket. When getting on and off the boat, children and the elderly should pay attention to the gap between the boat and the dock.
In addition, the projects of each island hopping tour are exactly the same, so just choose the cheaper one. D'tour is very good.

A nice quiet beach. The pink colour is not really that pink as shown in some photos. Still worth visiting though

Padar Island is another island that you must visit in Indonesia. It is a very beautiful viewpoint. There are 6 levels to walk up to the highest viewpoint. You will see the sea of 3 bays together. It is very beautiful. It is worth the effort. 😍😍😍
