[Check-in R] Komodo One-Day Classic Tour
[Right R] Padar – Pink Beach – Komodo – Sandbar – Manta – Turtles

Now, the one-day tour ticket is 400k, paid at the dock. The day is packed with thrilling activities, and every stop promises a unique and unforgettable experience [Cute R][Cute R]. Let me share my incredible journey:

1. I wore flip-flops to climb the stairs at Padar, and it was surprisingly comfortable, as long as the sandals are neither too hard nor too soft. Walking on the stairs was a breeze [Laughing R][Laughing R].

2. The Pink Beach is a photographer’s dream! Don’t forget to bring a power bank and a tripod for those perfect shots 🤗🤗. The sand is incredibly soft, and we visited the longest of the seven pink beaches in Komodo National Park. It was a truly magical experience [Winking R][Winking R][Winking R][Proud R][Proud R][Proud R].

3. To see the legendary Komodo dragons, you’ll need to venture into the jungle. The short route is 1.7 kilometers, and it can get quite hot and sunny. If these prehistoric beasts aren’t your thing, you might want to skip this part [Facepalm R][Facepalm R][Facepalm R].

4. The sandbar 😅 The sand here also has a hint of pink, with many coral remnants scattered around. It’s highly recommended to wear coral socks for added comfort [Laughing R].

5. Manta Point. Spotting mantas is a matter of luck, as they often just pass by. If you do catch a glimpse, it’s only for a brief moment 🐟. Wear a long-sleeved swimsuit or wetsuit, as there are visible impurities in the water, possibly jellyfish tentacles.

6. Turtle Point. As soon as we entered the water, a manta swam right over us, circling several times before another one joined in. We managed to capture both mantas in the same frame, making for some amazing photos [Smirking R][Smirking R]. I kept waving, and the manta kept swimming around us, providing the perfect photo opportunity [Proud R][Proud R][Proud R]. Finally, the turtles made their grand appearance, adding to the already enchanting experience [Crying Laughing R][Crying Laughing R].

This trip was nothing short of spectacular – the first stop at Komodo set the tone for an absolutely perfect day.
