Discover Indonesia’s Komodo & Pink Beach: Your Ultimate Dream Getaway Vacation
When you think of Indonesia 🇲🇨, images of majestic volcanoes 🌋, cascading waterfalls, and the world-renowned beaches of Bali 🏖️ come to mind.
.
However, on my recent journey, I discovered a truly unique gem: a stunning pink 💖 beach. I wholeheartedly recommend that anyone visiting should not miss this enchanting spot!
.
[Is the pink beach just a filter effect?]
Many people are skeptical, wondering if the photos they see online are merely “photo scams” and if the beach is really as pink as it appears. I can confidently assure you: it is genuinely pink!
.
The beach’s color varies depending on factors like weather and sunlight 🌞, usually displaying a gradient of light pink against the backdrop of the blue sea.
.
[How to get there]
– It’s just a 1-hour flight from Bali; you can fly domestically to Bali and then transfer ✈️.
– Upon arrival, you have two main options for travel: by chartered boat 🛥️/tour or taxi 🚀.
– The recommended way to travel is by chartered boat/tour, which offers more flexibility and is generally more cost-effective.
– Typically, tours include pick-up and drop-off, meals 🍽️, and snorkeling gear 🤿.
– On Komodo Island, ride-hailing services are not available, and taxis 🚀 charge per trip, usually at a fixed price, but bargaining is possible.
– It’s advisable to stay in Komodo, where most hotels 🏨 provide free wooden boat shuttles between the hotel and the pier.
