▪️ Padar Island: Summit the four-bay viewpoint for drone shots (sunrise pastel-gold hues are stunning!)
▪️ TIPS: Wear anti-slip shoes! Guide fees are included in tickets—don’t get scammed.
✅ Day 2: Heart-Stopping Beauty – Pink Beach + Crystal Waters
▪️ Pink Beach: The only pink sand certified by Lonely Planet—walk barefoot on coral grains (most vibrant at noon!)
▪️ Manta Point: Snorkel with manta ray schools (90%+ sighting rate July-Sept)
▪️ Kanawa Island: Dive into jelly-like waters to feed tropical fish (30m visibility!)
✅ Day 3: Hidden Gems Finale – Crescent Bay + Bat Sunset

▪️ Kalong Island: Watch 3,000+ bats blot out the sky at dusk (slow shutter for epic shots)
📸 Viral Photo Guide

⚠️ Anti-Scam Tips
1️⃣ Sun Protection Trio: Sunglasses + SPF110 + after-sun care (equatorial UV is extreme)
2️⃣ Cash Ready: Few ATMs—exchange enough IDR in advance
3️⃣ Taboos: No touching dragons / no bloody items on islands
🎥 Short Video Script
▫️ Opening: Drone flies through a Komodo dragon’s gaping jaws (add Game of Thrones roar SFX)
▫️ Transition: Pink sand hourglass → hand flick → snorkeling cut
▫️ Ending: Silhouette walking toward bat swarms at sunset (BGM: "Empire of Angels")
💬 "Dinosaurs on your left, dreamy pink seas on your right—only Komodo lets you time-travel between prehistory and fairy tales in one day!"
