Day 10 1/6/26

Slept so well. Woke at 05:30 finish packing and went down for breakfast on the beach. Life is so good.
Collected at 06:30 and taken to harbour. Boarded speed boat and off we went for my next adventure. To visit 6 islands.
1st stop
Padar Island: A rugged volcanic island where you will hike to the summit for a famous 360-degree panoramic view of three distinct colored beaches.
I did lots of climbing up and up but it was lovely.

2nd stop
Pink Beach: A striking stretch of shoreline tinted pink by microscopic organisms mixed with white sand, perfect for swimming and sunbathing.
Lots of photos taken here, finally I got to see what I came here for.

3rd stop
Komodo Island: A guided trek alongside local park rangers to see the prehistoric Komodo dragons in their natural habitat.
We walked through the village until we saw two Komodo dragons and had a photo shoot.

4th stop
Taka Makassar: A tiny, crescent-shaped pink sandbar surrounded entirely by shallow, translucent turquoise waters.
I didn’t swim here as I was happy to wait for the next stop in 5 mins.

5th stop
Manta Point: An open-water marine spot where you can snorkel alongside massive, gentle reef manta rays. We swam here but I was getting a migraine, we didn’t see any manta rays so got back in the boat.

6th stop
Siaba Besar Island (or Kanawa Island): A vibrant coral reef zone heavily populated by wild sea turtles, ideal for drift snorkeling. I didn’t swim here as my head was pounding. The sea was really choppy and no manta to be seen
