Walk to the Padar Island viewpoint
Padar Island, Komodo National Park, Indonesia

Padar’s ridges divide a series of curving bays, creating one of the most recognisable views in the Indonesian islands. The climb from the landing beach is the main event: take your time on the exposed path and pause to look back as the coastline opens up below. Arrange your visit as part of a licensed boat itinerary and confirm current park access before departure. Good footwear, drinking water and sun protection make the walk more comfortable.
