Not Bali, not Bali, not Bali, but Komodo Island

**"Explore the descendants of dinosaurs, encounter pink beaches, and dive into the underwater wonderland!"** ### **Main Highlights of Komodo Island** 1. **Komodo Dragon** - The world's largest lizard, up to 3m long and weighing 70 kg, looks like a dinosaur, and has extremely strong aggressiveness and toxic saliva. - Tourists can hike to find wild Komodo dragons with professional guides, but they need to maintain a safe distance to avoid being attacked. - Best viewing time: April-September (dry season), June-July is the mating season, and male monitor lizards may be seen fighting. 2. **Pink Beach** - It is formed by the mixture of red coral fragments and white sand, presenting a dreamy pink color under the sun, which is only visible in a few places in the world. - Suitable for snorkeling, the surrounding waters are rich in corals and a wide variety of fish. 3. **Padar Island** - Hike to the top of the mountain to overlook the spectacle of the intersection of black, white, and pink beaches, known as "one of the most spectacular hiking landscapes in the world." 4. **World-class diving destination** - Komodo waters are the habitat of **manta rays**, sharks, sea turtles and other marine life. Diving spots such as **Manta Point** and **Batu Bolong** are very popular. - Suitable for intermediate and advanced divers, the currents are strong, but the biodiversity is extremely high. ### **How to get to Komodo Island?** - **External transportation**: - Take a plane (1.5 hours) from **Bali** to **Labuan Bajo**, and then take a boat (2 hours) to Komodo Island. - You can also choose a **Liveaboard** from Bali, and visit several islands along the way. - **Best time to travel**: April-October (dry season), the weather is sunny, suitable for hiking and diving. ### **Travel tips** - **Safety precautions**: Komodo dragons are aggressive, so you must follow a professional guide, and women should not go during their menstrual period. - **Accommodation recommendation**: Labuan Bajo town has budget hotels (such as Dorme Tree) and high-end resorts. - **Featured experiences**: Seafood hot pot, transparent boat snorkeling, and Padar Island hiking. Komodo Island combines primitive ecology, adventure exploration and romantic landscapes, and is a paradise for nature lovers and divers.
