Explore 6 Highlight of Komodo National Park.

1. Padar Island – One day tour Komodo Island

Padar Island is the third-largest island in the Komodo National Park. Positioned between Komodo and Rinca islands, it is famous worldwide for its dramatic, volcanic topography and a iconic viewpoint that looks down over three spectacular crescent-shaped bays.

From the famous summit trail, you can view three distinct beaches right next to each other, each possessing a different sand color—white, charcoal grey, and a soft, pastel pink. This coloration stems from variations in the local volcanic minerals and coral fragments

2. Pink Beach – One Day tour Komodo Island.

Pink Beach (known locally as Pantai Merah) is one of only seven beaches in the world with naturally blush-toned sand. Nestled within Komodo National Park, this striking coastline sits right against clear turquoise water and arid, rolling savanna hills.

Why is the Sand Pink? The unique pastel color comes from Foraminifera, microscopic amoeba-like organisms that live on nearby coral reefs and produce a deep red pigment.

Over time, ocean waves break down the red corals and mix the crimson fragments into the classic white sand, creating a soft, strawberry-tinted glow along the shoreline. The color becomes exceptionally vibrant when the sand is wet or hit by direct midday sunlight.

Spanning roughly 390 square kilometers of rugged volcanic terrain, savanna hillsides, and pockets of dense tropical forest, the island is globally celebrated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
