点评:We visited Flores with the intended highlight of the trip to visit Komodo Island to see the Komodo Dragons
We arrived at the island and met up with the park ranger who advised us there weren’t many of the Komodo Dragons around as it was mating season “and they are making love for 4 - 6 hours a day”
We were one of the earliest boats to arrive but there were more boats packed with tourists arriving by the minute.
We set off on a path and we were lucky enough to see a young dragon crossing the path and going into the bush.
We then came across a large group of tourists surrounding an adult dragon that was either extremely tired, sedated or near death with lots of tourists trying to get the best selfie with the poor creature and the rangers loosing control of the crowd, despite trying their best. It could not of been a more unnatural experience
Flores itself and the surrounding islands are beautiful with great beaches and snorkelling which are truly worth a visit but from our experience I would not recommend Komodo National Park
翻译:我们去了弗洛雷斯岛,原本计划此行的重头戏是去科莫多岛看科莫多巨蜥。
我们到达岛上后,遇到了公园管理员,他告诉我们,由于正值科莫多巨蜥的交配季节,岛上的科莫多巨蜥数量不多,“它们每天要交配4到6个小时”。
我们是最早到达的几艘船之一,但随着游客的不断涌入,越来越多的船也陆续抵达。
我们沿着一条小路出发,很幸运地看到一条幼龙穿过小路,走进了灌木丛。
然后,我们遇到一大群游客围着一条成年巨蜥,它要么极度疲惫,要么处于昏迷状态,要么濒临死亡。许多游客都想和这只可怜的小动物拍一张完美的自拍,而管理员们尽管竭尽全力,却还是控制不住人群。这是一次非常不自然的经历。
弗洛雷斯岛本身及其周围的岛屿风景优美,拥有美丽的海滩和浮潜设施,非常值得一游。但根据我们的经验,我不推荐科莫多国家公园。
