Coisas para fazer em Padar Island

Boat Condition: The boat was in excellent condition! It was clean, safe, and there were no areas where one could get hurt. Oh! On days with choppy waves, I thought it would be great to have seatbelts, as there was a concern of falling off the chair even when sitting still at high speeds. :) Guide: Yoga briefed us on the tour itinerary and explained the rules to ensure safety and protect the tour sites. With a lively and positive vibe, he took great photos at each tour spot and naturally led conversations. During snorkeling, he guided my wife and me, who are not accustomed to swimming in the sea, by holding onto a life tube, allowing us to see beautiful corals, fish, turtles, and even sharks! I would definitely recommend him to friends planning a trip to Labuan Bajo! Itinerary: We visited Padar Island, Pink Beach, and Komodo National Park, then had lunch, stopped at a beautiful beach, and went snorkeling at Manta Point and Reef Point. The tour started at 6 AM and ended around 3:30-4 PM, which felt just right. :) Safety: We didn't have major concerns thanks to the professional boat driver and staff. However, it was a particularly windy day with rougher waves than usual. Although I don't usually get seasick, I felt a bit unwell today. Even if you don't typically experience seasickness, it would be wise to bring motion sickness medication.

All trip was perfectly organised we saw beautiful places a lot of drinks wherever you want good lunch to your choice chicken or fish very tasty, pink beach was so beautiful they was dear very friendly ,and we saw 10 komodo even wasn't sure we will see them because our guide says in the morning then has two tours but didn't spot any komodo so we was very lucky in the end when we had our lunch on the beach we was also few other komodo and even baby komodo snorkeling was amazing very clear water and lot of fish in the manta point we saw three mantras. Highly recommended this tour. scenic views on board:

O motorista foi muito pontual para nos buscar, e antes das sete horas já estávamos no barco para iniciar o passeio. Cada ponto turístico atendeu às expectativas; a Praia Cor de Rosa não é exatamente como na foto promocional, mas ainda assim é bem rosa. O guia não era muito bem-humorado, mas era muito dedicado, tirou fotos nossas ativamente durante o mergulho com snorkel e também puxava a boia para ajudar os passageiros com menos facilidade na água. Como não encontramos arraias manta no Manta Point, ele nos levou a Mawan para tentar encontrá-las novamente, e conseguimos realizar nosso desejo de ver arraias manta nadando bem diante de nós. O barco não é tão luxuoso quanto na foto promocional, mas para uma viagem é aceitável. Não crie nenhuma expectativa em relação à marmita; não é deliciosa, mas também não é ruim, o mais importante é que mata a fome. O preço cobrado, se considerado apenas o valor do tour, é bem razoável, mas a taxa de entrada do parque nacional é muito cara, custando 400.000 IDR por pessoa, o que deixa um pouco a desejar. Todo o resto foi muito bom.

Even though I barely slept the night before, I had an amazing time! It was definitely worth the money. It was my first time snorkeling, and I’d never swum in water deep enough that I couldn’t touch the bottom before. The coral reefs and underwater scenery were absolutely breathtaking! I also got to see around six Komodo dragons. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience! The packed lunch was pretty average, though. Only the vegan meal came with Jello.

We had a wonderful day today. We visited six spots according to the trip description. The view is fantastic, our tour guide Ricky is friendly and professional. I need to highlight the boat is clean and properly maintained, not all the boats I saw during trip are like ours. I am glad I choose this tour.

It's a shame that we had to proceed with an alternative itinerary due to high waves near Komodo, but I understand that this was due to official directives, not the fault of the tour operator. The hotel pickup was punctual, the guidance was detailed, and I appreciated the continuous attention to safety throughout the trip. The alternative snorkeling spot was also incredibly beautiful and stunning, and the highlight, the Komodo dragons, were seen sufficiently on Rinca Island, another alternative island, making it a very satisfying tour. The boat was also clean and convenient. It's a highly recommendable tour and an excellent company.

I think it was probably one of the more affordable Komodo tours available. Because of that, I had a lot of worries about what the food and the hygiene would be like, but everything turned out fine! Every meal was satisfyingly delicious, and we even had an afternoon snack. The shower shares the same space as the toilet, which might bother some people, but hot water was available and the area was kept clean. And most importantly, the quality of the crew. Everyone welcomed us with a smile, and even though I was traveling solo, I wasn't lonely and had a wonderful time! Touring the Komodo Islands with such a multinational group—1 from Japan, 6 from China, 1 from Australia, 2 from France, 2 from Germany, 1 from Finland, and 1 from Spain—was a great memory. I will definitely book this tour again next year!

The tour operator for this trip was Labuan Bajo Holiday, and I'm incredibly grateful to them. They were very responsible, proactively informing me that my booked tour hadn't met the minimum number of participants. They then went above and beyond to help me find a suitable boat. Throughout the trip, they were very attentive to my experience, and ultimately helped me complete a wonderful journey. Thank you for your excellent service; it was fantastic!

The meals prepared by the chef were so good, everyone finished it. Everything was perfect except it would be good to inform us what items needed to be pay in advance. As some of us assume that everything in the boat was free.
