Seriously, it's one of the best places we have ever been to and WE want to call it hidden paradise.
The second part of exploring the Komodo national park. This time we chose to do one day trip, but you also can choose 1night 2days trip (we think it would be better because you can visit more that way and the beauty of the national park are stunning). So our plan was to hike to Padar viewpoint, to see the Komodo dragons, snorkeling, pink beach and one more time snorkeling at manta viewpoint. The price of this one day trip for one person is 450 000IDR (32€) and the entrance fee to Komodo National Park is 320 000IDR (23€). They gave us fins, lunch box(the worst lunch ever) and 1,5l water. The ship was older than we thought and we were 11 tourists in that bout. It takes two and a half hour to reach the Padar island and then 30minutes trekking to the viewpoint. Padar Island is the third largest land mass within the Komodo National Park and can be found between Komodo and Rinca Island (both home to Komodo Dragons). About halfway up there is a rocky outcrop that gives you a vantage point of 4 beaches. This is probably the most popular spot to get amazing shots from. This trek is definitely more about the views than a tough hike. From start to finish it took us only 20-30 minutes. Don't forget to take water with you and it's better to hike with trainers or hiking shoes. After Padar island we went to Komodo island to do trekking to see Komodo dragons. Komodo dragons are large species of lizards found in the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang, and Padar. They can grow up to a maximum length of 3,5 meters and weight up to approximately 70 kg. Komodo dragons are carnivores also they are cannibals, they eat each other. They eat mostly carrion, but also pigs, goat, deer, roes, snakes, birds. The dragons live about 50-60 years. We saw 4 komodo dragons which were pretty big and scary. Their venom is toxic. If Komodo dragons bite you, immediately must go to the hospital. If you won't reach the hospital in two days you might be dead. The last stop was Manta point. There were two mantas doing circles near the surface. We fastly put fins, mask and jumped into the water. They were so huge. One of the most amazing creatures met underwater, so graceful and playful at the same time!
