115 - MC55: Cruising Komodo National Park - MANTAS!?

In this video the Saoirse crew pick up guests for a family-style tour of Komodo National Park. Starting in Labuan Bajo, we head to Rinca Island to visit the dragons (see previous timeline video for more about the Komodo Dragons), and conduct a scuba dive. Then on to the area of Padar Island. At this spot there's a small island next-door with a great little beach and fantastic snorkeling. Padar Island itself boast a popular hike with 850 steps. The view from the top is actually the same as pictured on the Indonesian 50,000 Rupiah bank note! There's lots of wildlife in the park. Things we saw included eagles, wild boar, deer, dragons, geckos, herons and other birds, and.... Manta Rays! A great stop-off by Makassar Reef was Manta Point, where the groups snorkeled and swam with reef mantas that were congregating at a cleaning station, where they gather for the little fish to give them a sort of spa treatment.
