点评:We went to the komodo island as part of our boat cruise from Flores to Lombok.
When arriving on the jetty it already felt a bit off, this feeling unfortunately became a reality.
We were told the dragons were super dangerous and their we no guarantee we would see them. Our “ranger” directly went to a random tree, and there were 3 completely drugged / sedated komodo dragons. One tried to move but all it could do was to move their head.
Ranger told us they are not drugged and fed. But please read other reviews, you will see the dragons everyday at the same trees. I would not be surprised that they sedate them during the day and chain them when the tourists are gone, so that the tourists see the komodo dragons the next day for sure.
After a 30 mins walk we were led to some tourist market with all kinds of komodo merch.
We really had a nasty feeling after this trip.
The animals look majestic, that is true. But i wished I checked google reviews / trip advisor before going on the island.
This is really similar to the tiger & elephant tourist traps in Thailand..
翻译:我们从弗洛雷斯岛到龙目岛的游船之旅中途去了科莫多岛。
到达码头时,感觉有点不对劲,这种感觉不幸成真了。
有人告诉我们,科莫多巨蜥非常危险,我们无法保证一定能看到它们。我们的“护林员”直接去了一棵随机的树,那里有 3 条被麻醉的科莫多巨蜥。其中一条试图移动,但它所能做的就是移动头部。
护林员告诉我们,它们没有被麻醉或喂食。但请阅读其他评论,你每天都会在同一棵树上看到科莫多巨蜥。我不会感到惊讶,他们会在白天给它们注射镇静剂,并在游客离开后用链子拴住它们,这样游客们第二天就一定能看到科莫多巨蜥了。
步行 30 分钟后,我们被带到了一个旅游市场,里面有各种各样的科莫多巨蜥商品。
这次旅行后,我们真的有一种不好的感觉。
这些动物看起来很威严,这是真的。但我希望在去岛上之前先查看一下谷歌评论/旅行顾问。
这和泰国的老虎和大象旅游陷阱真的很相似。
