4 days in Komodo, Perfect Couple Itinerary

Not the best quality but it was an amazing moment!

Turtle Point

Next to manta point you will stop at a location where you can see and swim with dozens of turtles if you are lucky.

Just remember never to touch them as you can spread diseases to their sensitive skin. Taka Makasar, a sandbar

Another location very high on our list! A sandbar in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful white sand with blue water. We were the only ones for a while and we were able to enjoy it and take lots of photos.

Don’t forget to bring your snorkel gear as you will see big fishes and even reef sharks.

Padar Island

We were supposed to visit it at sunset as it’s usually less crowded but it was very cloudy and the captain decided to visit it at sunrise. We woke up at 4.30 am, had a strong coffee and then started climbing all the steps in the dark till the end of the lockout to watch a lovely orange sunrise.

Unfortunately it is a very crowded place. If you want to be here by yourself you can wait for 1h or arrive later and all the tours will be gone

Did you know Padar Island is the only one to be divided in 3 colors? You will find a white beach, a black one and a pink beach. All in the same island.

Pink Beach

After Breakfast we went to one of the most famous pink beaches! There are around 3-4 in all Komodo, but probably this is the most beautiful one. The coral is pink and white, therefore the color of the sand.

There are not many true pink beaches in the world, but this is one of them.

Tip: Don’t forget to bring your drone if you have one

Komodo National Park

Before sunset on our second day we arrived to the Komodo National Park.

Be aware that most of the tours don’t cover the entrance fee which is around 40$.

Once you arrive, your group is assigned a local guide that will walk you around the island and if you are lucky you will see a Komodo Dragon! Although they also have a season, and during our visit (Summer) it was mating season so it can be weeks till you see one.

We were lucky enough to see 1 pregnant female for almost 20 minutes while she drank water from the river.But the truth is, we found it to be a bit expensive and disappointing as as soon as you arrive, you think you will walk around the Park, but you only walk for 10-15 minutes and then you are done with your tour.

We were expecting it to be a small hiking or at least longer for 40$ per person, for us it was ok, but some of the tours didn’t see a single dragon.

Sunset with hundred thousands of bats in Kalong Island

On the second day we sailed to Kalong Island where you will spend the night.

There’s a cave nearby and every night thousands of bats leave it to go out and find food.

Then the sky gets completely covered with beautiful bats. It was very fascinating to watch them for hours.

Manjarite Island

We woke up at Manjarite Island, where after breakfast we jumped into the water and were surprised by thousands of different kind of fishes.

We also saw around 4 turtles at this locations and 2 little mantas!

Kelor Island

After breakfast we head to Kelor island, which has one of our favorite lookouts of all Komodo.

Different shades of blue get together with a green island in the background.

The hike is very easy and it will take you around 15-20 minutes to the top. After your hike you will have some time to enjoy some fresh coconuts and swim in its turquoise waters.

Strawberry Rock

On our way to Labuan Bajo we stopped at the Strawberry Rock, its a very old pink rock made by different kind of crystals.

We didn’t like this one as the entrance was literally covered with all sorts of plastic and no-one seem to care or bother to clean it. It made us feel a bit uncomfortable, so we went back to our boat.

Labuan Bajo

Every tours ends up at Labuan Bajo, the main city in Komodo.

It’s really small and there’s not much to do without a car or that little time. We would recommend to book a nice hotel for the night where you can enjoy the pool and relax.
