Padar Island ~ Rinca Island ~ Kelor Island, last day in Phinisi Boat > Day 04 > Labuan Bajo 22 April - 26 April 2018

As usual, everyone wake up at 4 o'clock. At 05:00, the boat start sailing from Komodo Island to Padar Island, our top highlight in this trip. The sailing took almost 3 hours.

Today is our last day on boat, we will go back to Labuan Bajo in the evening. So today is the last sunrise time.




We watch the sunrise while sailing. The guide said, if we lucky, we can see dolphin too. But too bad, there's no dolphin come out instead a whale. The captain suddenly sream something. Fortunately, I'm in the up-deck waiting for the dolphin to come out. And I can see something blow the water, and it's a whale.
this is the location where the whale appear.

Our small boat that always follow us everywhere we go XD
Finally, we arrive at Padar Island, the third largest island in Komodo National Park. This island accepted as UNESCO Heritage.
Time to trekking. The island has stairs already, so it's more easy to trekking. So many people in there in the morning. They hurriedly go to the peak before the sun shine so brightly at noon. 




Once you arrive at the photostop, you will see this magnificent view.


We only hiking until the 3/4 part. Some of our group, hike to the peak. From 3/4 part to the peak, there's no stairs, and the path is steep. The guide said, there's nothing to see from the peak.

From Padar Island, we go to Rinca Island, the 2nd largest island in Komodo National Park. We will see anothere Komodo Dragon in here. On our way to the Rinca Island, suddenly the group outside that playing card, scream "Dolphin.. Dolphin..". So we all come out, and it's really dolphin.



Seems like the dolphin play with us, our phinisi boat stop for a while, until the dolphin almost gone, then we continue our journey.

We arrive at Rinca Island, the 2nd largest island in Komodo National Park. There's till Komodo Dragon in here. Rinca Island is less known than Komodo Island. Komodo in here, is more agresif and active. We even see a Komodo walk around and not just sleep. Before we come, there's news about Komodo attack and kill human. So we become more aware and careful. Just always do what rangers said, and you will be okay.

From Rinca island, we go to the last destination, Kelor Island. The island is so small, and only one hill. But the view is amazing. Even to climb there, it's very hard and steep.

the island only this big.



After crawl to the upstair, finally we arrive at the top. and it's really beautiful. So if you think that you can, you have to go to the top.





After take some photos, it's time to go down. This is the hardest part. I have to sit down and put down my leg one step by step.

This is the last island in our sailing trip. Time to go back to Labuan Bajo. We made sayonara with the boat crew. They help us alot, cooking, help us while trekking and snorkeling. You can give some tips to them for your grateful.



They even made us evening snack before arrive at the port. 

Last evening snack

Arrive at Labuan Bajo, the boat park in their usual place. And As usual, we go back using small boat with our luggage. Then we go eat dinner at Samalona Restaurant.







I don't know why this time their food is really delicious. Maybe because less people that eat here. So they can focus on cooking. This is why their restaurant is really famous.

Then we go back to our hotel, Laprima Labuan Bajo Hotel to rest. After take a bath, me, Lenny, Meme Jie and Tin Ayi, decided to try the nearest cafe, Made in Italy. Heard that this cafe is really famous.
