点评:Padar Island was hands down the ultimate highlight for scenic views during our Komodo island hopping excursion. It is a striking, rugged island featuring a massive central ridge that you can hike up, offering a panorama from the top that is nothing short of incredible, it honestly feels like the famous Kelingking Beach view in Nusa Penida, but on absolute steroids.
Facilities on the island are minimal, consisting only of a handful of simple local food stalls and souvenir stands near the base. The climb can be quite exhausting, especially if you tackle it under the midday sun, so wearing a hat and loading up on sunscreen is non negotiable. The silver lining, they have several structured rest stops all the way up the trail, allowing you to catch your breath while taking in the scenery as the vantage point gets progressively better. Once you reach the summit platforms, the sweeping view of the three crescent shaped bays with contrasting sand colors is an unforgettable reward. The stairway quality varies quite a bit, some sections are solid concrete steps while others are older or slightly broken, so you need to watch your footing, especially with kids. Even so, it was entirely manageable for our children, and the whole visit takes about one to two hours total.
Pro Tip: Based on our experience, you actually do not need to hike all the way to the absolute highest peak to get the shot. The mid-level viewpoint platforms already offer the iconic, postcard perfect angle of the three bays, saving you some extra sweat if you are traveling with family!

岛上的设施极为有限,仅在山脚附近有几家售卖当地食品的简易摊位以及纪念品店而已。这段攀登过程可能会相当耗费体力,尤其是在正午烈日下进行时。因此,戴帽子并涂抹防晒霜是必不可少的措施。值得欣慰的是,沿途设有多处设施完备的休息区,让你可以一边喘息,一边欣赏随着高度上升而愈发壮丽的景色。一旦抵达山顶平台,眼前呈现的三处呈新月形的海湾以及颜色各异的沙滩,定会给你留下终生难忘的印象。楼梯的质量参差不齐:有些地方是坚实的混凝土台阶,而有些则较为陈旧或略有破损,因此务必小心行走,带小孩的家长尤其要注意。即便如此,对我们的孩子来说也完全能够应对;整个游览过程大约需要一到两小时。
专业提示:根据我们的经验,其实并不需要爬到最高的山顶才能拍到理想照片。位于半山腰的观景台同样能欣赏到那种标志性的美景。三个海湾构成了一幅宛如明信片般完美的景色,如果您是和家人一同旅行,这可能帮您省去不少麻烦哦!
