Dadakan Group goes to Sumba > Indonesia > 16-22 September 2019

Sumba, sebuah pulau di Nusa Tenggara Timur Indonesia.

Sumba, sebuah pulau di Nusa Tenggara Timur, yang masih jarang orang kunjungi. Kita bisa menuju ke Sumba Barat maupun Sumba Timur dari Denpasar. Akses disana sendiri, kalau di kota seperti Waingapu, dan Waikabubak, masih termasuk ramai. Tapi begitu menuju ke tempat wisata, kita akan membutuhkan mobil dan bersiap bagi yang gampang mabuk darat. Karena terkadang akses masih susah, sampai menerobos hutan-hutan. Tapi Sumba merupakan salah satu lokasi di Indonesia yang wajib dikunjungi terutama bagi petualang. Aktivitas disini adalah trekking, dan main air. Kebanyakan tempat yang dikunjungi adalah air terjun, dan bukit-bukit. Yuk kita berpetualang di Sumba.. ~~ VTrip Credit by Mr @duwialistme (our guide) Thank you 🙏 #sumba #indonesia #trip #shorttrip #grupdadakan #gruphappyhappy #grupnekat #dolanbareng #sumbatimur #waingapu #domestik #domestictrip #sumbatraveller #ivacanza #localtour #photobyguide #video #vtrip #videobyguide

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.

small Komodo

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.

The start of Sailing Tour, Kanawa Island ~ Gili Lawa Darat > Day 02 > Labuan Bajo 22 April - 26 April 2018

Wake up in the morning, I walk around the back of our hotel. It's like a port.

Then we go eat our breakfast.The weather is really good.

At 09:00, after check-out, we go to Labuan Bajo Port to ride check-in to our phinisi boat. Our guide has already waiting for us in the port.

We have to ride small boat to go to the phinisi boat. Our Phinisi Boat called "Budi Utama 2"

The phinisi boat looks very small from the port, but after we go near, it's big. It has 8 rooms with private bath room for 2 person each, 1 room in the upper deck; 2 room in the middle deck and 5 room in the lower deck.

After small briefing, our first destination is Kanawa Island. We will snorkeling in there. While sailing, we enjoy the scene. The boat sail calmly, so we do not feel sick.

About an hour later, we arrive at Kanawa Island. We used small boat to go to the beach. The water is very clear, we even can see what's inside it.

Some of the elder try snorkeling but they have difficulty. Because it's their first time.

After about an hout, we go back to our Phinisi Boat and shower. Then the boat crew chef, serve our lunch. It's delicious, even 5 stars hotel is nothing compare to this.

While eating, we go to our next destination, Gili Lawa Darat Island. We arrive early, so we decided to snorkeling first. But the water around here is murky, and there's a lot of garbage. We only snorkel for 15 minutes then go back to our Phinisi boat to get ready for Trekking.

At 16:00, we use small boat to go to the island. Then start our trekking. We hope we could get to the peak before sunset.

sunset

We go down after sunset and it's dark. Fortunately, we bring our smartphone with us.

The way to go down is really steep. I almost fall because of it.

Finally, we go back to our Phinisi Boat. Then we clean our selves, then ready for dinner. First time dinner at the boat, it's interesting. Only with boat lighting, and under the stars.

Baracuda Fish

Then we go enjoy our night.

Good Night, see you tomorrow
