ADVENTURER CONTEST WEEK 1 : WONDERFUL KOMODO ISLAND, LABUAN BAJO, INDONESIA

Indonesia is a beautiful country. One of the beauties is on the island of Flores. That morning, I and 20 friends who were members of the Malalaers community departed from H. Hasan Aroebusman Airport, Ende to Komodo Airport in Labuan Bajo. Our goal is to enjoy 3 days 3 nights exploring Komodo Island National Park. At 10 am we arrived in Labuan Bajo. Our first task was to find a good, comfortable but cheap place to stay. With a travel application and asking anyone, we finally found a suitable accommodation. The location is also quite strategic. We took public transportation to the inn. After arriving and storing our belongings in our respective rooms, we headed to the port. Looking for a ship that provides tour services to the Komodo Island area.

Trip To Labuan Bajo

After searching, bargaining and a bit of conflict, we finally found a boat that was ready to help us enjoy the Laboan Bajo area. Each of us ended up being charged Rp. 1.250.000 with details on the cost of the boat, entering Komodo Island, Rinca Island, Padar Island, Manta Point, Pink Beach, eating 3 times a day, snacks and coffee/tea, overnight in a fisherman's village on the island. Komodo. Of course we were all very happy because we finally set sail for Komodo Island.

Beauty of Gili Lawa
The next morning it all started. At 8 am we arrived at the pier. Seen they have prepared mineral water, coffee, tea and snacks. There is also rice in the box. After the preparations were complete, at 10 we started sailing. The blue sea is very beautiful. Our first destination was Gili Lawa. There is a spot to see beautiful views of the sea and islands from the top of the hill. But to get there it takes a long time, maybe we will arrive in the afternoon. First, we stopped briefly at Bidadari Island. The sand is very white and clean. There we had lunch and the Muslims prayed. The journey continues after being satisfied with taking pictures and bathing in clear blue water. At 4 pm we arrived at Gili Lawa, it looks like an island with an ordinary hill, but we were told by a guide to climb the hill to a peak which is a point of seeing the beauty. Arriving at the peak, I was amazed to see the extraordinary view of the sea with its small islands and also a small strait between two beautiful hills. We were there until the sun went down.

the one n only, Komodo Dragon
In the evening we continued the cruise to the fishing village on Komodo Island. That's where we will stay during the tour. We were provided with dinner. After showering and having dinner we went to bed. The internet and telephone signals are not good and electricity also only relies on the generator engine. But it actually makes vacations more comfortable because they can focus on vacations. The next morning we woke up and ready to continue our second day of adventure. Today we will see Komodo dragons directly in their habitat on Komodo Island and on Rinca Island. The trip to Komodo Island is not far because we are already on Komodo Island. We just circled a little towards the entrance gate for tourists. Immediately we were taken to the command post where several rangers were ready to guide and protect us in search of the Komodo dragon. They divided us into several groups and explained all the do's and don'ts when encountering komodo dragons. Finally, I was able to see the Komodo dragon up close directly in its natural habitat. After being satisfied on Komodo Island and taking lots of photos with the Komodo dragons, the journey continues to Rinca Island. The journey is about 30 minutes. Komodo dragons on Rinca Island are more aggressive and easier to find. We are still guided by the rangers. We were also invited to the top of Rinca Island to watch the sun begin to set. The view of the meadow is very beautiful.

that's my friend
the rangers, follow us to safe during walk in Komodo Island
thanks god, i am here !

Back we sailed to the village residents to rest the night. After bathing and having dinner we rested. The third day we were taken to the very famous Padar Island. One of the tops of the hill is a very popular spot for tourists to take pictures. Towards the peak again we have to climb under the blazing sun. That's why since the beginning we all always use sun block lotion on our skin. When I got to the top, I was very impressed. My country is beautiful. God created this beauty to be preserved by humans. After being satisfied with taking pictures, we continued our journey to Manta Point. In the middle of the sea there is a point where a very tame stingray gathers, the name is Manta Point. We can swim with these stingrays. Since I can't swim, I didn't jump into the sea. My friends managed to capture their dives with the stingrays. The last day's trip was closed by enjoying the very beautiful Pink Beach until the sun went down. I'm very satisfied that this 3 day adventure ended with a satisfied swim at Pink Beach.

We returned to the village to rest because tomorrow we will return to the city of Labuan Bajo with the boat we rented. The trip back to Labuan Bajo around 6 am because they will also continue the tour with other groups who also have an appointment with them. Arriving in Labuan Bajo we were given a bonus breakfast even though it was not included in the list of services we received in the initial agreement. After that we said goodbye and thanked them for their service and they also hoped that we could come back on vacation with them.
