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.

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!

Reviewed By uphietk - Pasuruan, Indonesia

first stop before explore other beautiful places in Komodo National Park territory. Beautiful small island with clear beach. We can climb the hill to get more beautiful scenery. The trail is steep and hard, but challenging. But it worth to climb because the view is stunning
