Padar Island

This piece of island is simply stunning. Upon reaching the island, you’ll be greeted by the carefree and beautiful deers that reside there. We had the good fortune of arriving earlier, so the crowd wasn’t there. We made the ascent, which takes around 20-30 minutes depending on your fitness level. However, there are stops along the way with breathtaking views and photo opportunities. But the best part comes when you reach the summit. You’ll be glad you made it here, and the view is absolutely breathtaking. The crystal-clear waters along the curved shoreline, the waves crashing against the rocks, and the entire backdrop are too magnificent to be described in words. We spent a few minutes enjoying the peace and quiet before the place started to fill up with people. Luckily, we got what we needed. 😊

Arrive here at arround 8 AM and already packed up with tourist, recommend to go here at low season so it does not get to crowded when you arrive at the top, the views from the top viewpoint are incredible and really worth with the hike with many steps. The beach is also very beautiful

The views from the top viewpoint are incredible and well worth the hike up the many steps! We visited in the afternoon in the off season and we were the only tourists there. The beach is also very peaceful.

Padar Island is the first stop on the day trip package with most touring operators. You get to climb the top of the hill here and see some breathtaking views of the nature, the hike is worth the effort. The steps are easy to climb on except at the last section where it gets a little difficult for people who are mostly sedentary otherwise.

A 30-minute hike starting at 5 a.m. led us to a spectacular sunrise. As the island slowly awakened, the view was absolutely breathtaking.

Padar Island is absolutely breathtaking! The hike to the top is a bit challenging, especially in the heat, but every step is worth it once you reach the summit. The panoramic view of the three bays with their contrasting colors is truly unforgettable. Go early in the morning to catch the sunrise, it’s magical. Don’t forget water, good shoes, and your camera. A must-visit spot when you're in Komodo.

Padar Island is one of the most iconic spots in the Labuan Bajo area, and it’s best enjoyed at sunrise. Hiking up Padar Hill is fairly easy thanks to the well-built staircase trail. There are 5 viewpoints along the way, with the best views at posts 3 and 4. There are no restroom facilities on the island, so make sure to use the bathroom on your boat before visiting.

Padar Island is a must-see in Indonesia! I’ve been there twice — once during the rainy season and once during the dry season — and both times were absolutely stunning. Watching the sunrise from the top is pure magic: the colors and landscapes are breathtaking. Be ready for an early morning hike, but it’s totally worth it. An unforgettable experience! (But lot of people)
