Komodo Island is one of Indonesia’s best travel destinations, located on the western tip of Flores Island, East Nusa Tenggara. The island is famous as the natural habitat of Komodo dragons, a rare prehistoric species found only in Indonesia. Its breathtaking landscapes, unique wildlife, and adventurous experiences make Komodo Island a dream destination for many travelers, including my very first trip there. To make the journey easier, I decided to use a travel agency.
The journey began from Lombok at 8:00 AM. Around 10:00 AM, the travel team picked us up for registration, then took us to Kayangan Port. After about an hour of sailing, we arrived at Kenawa Island. There, we enjoyed a short trek while admiring the beautiful scenery. The highlight of the day was witnessing a mesmerizing sunset.
In the morning, we arrived at Teluk Saleh, Sumbawa, where we experienced the unforgettable moment of swimming with whale sharks. Being so close to these gentle giants was truly extraordinary. By noon, we continued our journey to the waters of Tambora, where we sailed alongside playful dolphins. Later in the afternoon, the boat headed toward Komodo Island, and we spent the night onboard, enjoying the calm ocean atmosphere.
Upon reaching Komodo National Park, we trekked on Rinca Island to see Komodo dragons in their natural habitat. Guided by professional rangers, we were able to observe these ancient creatures safely. At midday, we relaxed, swam, and snorkeled at Pink Beach for about two hours. The crystal clear waters and unique pink sand created a truly magical experience. By late afternoon, we hiked Padar Island for about an hour. Every effort was worth it once we reached the peak, the breathtaking view of three stunning bays combined with a glorious sunset was simply unforgettable.
The last day began with snorkeling at Manjarite Island for an hour. We then continued to Kelor Island, where we snorkeled again and hiked to the hilltop to enjoy another stunning panorama from above. After exploring the final destination, we headed back to Labuan Bajo, marking the end of this meaningful and memorable journey.
This first trip to Komodo Island truly offered an unforgettable experience. The natural beauty, interaction with unique wildlife, and adventurous atmosphere make it a destination worth visiting at least once in a lifetime.
