Padar Island

Reviewed By SusanW4197 - Kiama, Australia

To get there it is boat ride from Labuan Bajo - day trip possible but most go for a few days. Most boats aim to get to Padar for sunrise or sunset so it's busy. Ours arrived early and it was still hot so we climbed to summit earlier than most and then went down and climbed the other summit - which is a very narrow slippery treacherous track (which guides discourage) But, we did it discretely and were alone on this summit for sunset and avoided crowds at the top. Generally hot in middle of day and climbing summit would be very hard - so avoid unless cooler.

Pink Beach

Reviewed By TravelinMomOhio

It really does have pink sand. And wonderful snorkeling in clear warm turquoise waters. We arranged with Komodo Eco Tours to take us to the beach after a short trek to see the Komodo dragons.

Kalong (Flying Foxes) Island

Pulau Koaba, which is also known as Kalong Island (Fruit Bat Island), is a low-lying circular island measuring 500 metres across and appearing to comprise a core of taller trees surrounded by dense mangrove. At dusk, the sight of thousands of bats leaving their roost and heading for their feeding grounds is a magnificent spectacle.

Unbelievable Sunset on the water, exciting and interesting watching the thousands of flying foxes come out of the mangroves and fly overhead. Good experience!

Weekuri Lake

Reviewed By berthylamintang - Jakarta, Indonesia

I brought 3 kids (4,6 and 9 years) for just a visit as tourist, apparently my kids love the lagoon. Instead of only photo taking, we spent 5 hours here to enjoy and swim with the locals. Amazing torquise color of the water, friendly local kids, breathtaking views Please note when you go with family, please use local driver + guide to save your time of journey. The access to every spot is not that easy to reach.
