It is worth paying a visit to Kelimutu where you can experience a beautiful sunrise above the crater and its three colored lakes. Kelimutu is usually blanketed by thick fog. In order to catch the sunrise, you will begin your day early in the morning (start around 04:00 o’clock). This is also the best moment to see the three colored lakes so please do not be late for the sunrise! Once you have arrived at the Kelimutu volcano you will find yourself in a place like nowhere else. The Kelimutu area is surrounded by forests containing flora that are rarely found in other parts of Flores. Beside pine trees, there are also ferns, casuarinas, red wood and edelweiss. Every visitor who is paying a visit to this place will be marveled to see the beauty of Kelimutu. Make sure you have enough memory on your camera because you will see amazing panoramic views.

Today we will sail to Loh Lian, the Rangers station on Komodo Island. During the 3 and a half hours of navigation, we will realize that the sea is like a large lake, dotted with hundreds of tiny islands, mostly uninhabited, or with only a few fishermen, who moor in them, to rest or pass the night. Once on the island, we have to enter the Rangers office, to register and pay the fee for the national park, there we will be assigned a Rangers to accompany us at all times, while we are inside the island, the Rangers always carry a long blade, to make the dragons keep distance from us. The Rangers will give us a brief explanation of behavior in the park and what we can see. Open your eyes and keep silence, it will always be the best advice. In Komodo, in addition to the Komodo dragons we can see Timor deer, wild pigs, several types of runner hens, sulfur cockatoos, snakes etc. The Rangers will always be leading the group, showing us all the species they see during hiking. At the end of the trekking, which you can choose between the short one hour or other longer than 2.5 hours, we go to the port, where after a short navigation, we reach Pantai Merah (red beach-pink beach, where we can do Snorkeling in the middle of coral reefs full of life.
