On the 8th of September, we arrived in the
seaside port town of Labuan Bajo and made our way onto our boat to head off
into the Komodo National Park. We spent two days and one night in a cabin on
the private boat.
We spent the first day snorkeling various hot spots of the
clear waters of Komodo National Park, spotted and chased manta rays, and finished
off by anchoring the boat near the mangroves where the bats lived. The bats come out at sunset and fill the sky as the search
for food on the other bigger islands at nightfall.
On the second day, we trekked up Komodo and Rinca Island to
spot the Komodo Dragons in their natural habitat. The guide described how the baby
dragons live high up in the palm trees until they are old enough, due to the
occurrences of cannibalism amongst the dragons.
It was a great experience seeing these Komodo Dragons in
their natural habitat.
