We finally got to see the Komodo dragons on Rinca Island, which was the last stop on our boat trip. Honestly it let me down a little. The dragons were obviously cool but we were probably only there for around an hour. We did a short walk around the area, learned a little, and saw a couple of animals. But the park had different hiking paths to go on and I would have liked to get to see more animals and more of the island. Unfortunately the logistics of a boat trip from Labuan Bajo don’t really work with that

After the Padar Island hike we made our way to Pink Beach, which is another stop that seems to be on all the tours and is also on Padar Island. It’s named such because the sand has a pink hue to it. It wasn’t bright pink or anything but it was noticeable. We stopped there for a little bit for beach photos and swimming

The original reason we went on the trip was to see Komodo dragons. So after Le Pirate Island we went back to Labuan Bajo for a couple days and on the first day we took a boat trip. The boat’s first stop was Padar Island which is between Komodo Island and Rinca Island. It’s a popular stop for tours because the bays make for a striking view after hiking to the top

I called this the Deep Dark. It’s where the ground drops off and the water gets deep. I spent a lot of time just floating there, looking out into the endless blue, hoping to see something. And also hoping not to see anything
