Rinca island

Rinca is the second popular island in the Komodo National Park, Indonesia. It is also possible to see Komodo Dragons here. But it's not so overcrowded with tourists - unlike major Komodo island. You should expect to pay about US$40 - depending on what you need (entrance fee, camera, guided tour, snorkeling). Monitor lizards are guaranteed only near the kitchen. But if you walk around the island, you can see monitor lizards eating deer (if you are lucky), or won't see them at all (most likely). Ask the guide for the longest hiking route. Otherwise, you will get maximum 30 minutes, - that is ridiculous. It is worth to take many clothes. Since there are cobras on the island. Shore and seabed: rocks, sand. [edit]
