Te llevan a la marina de Labuan Bajo, te dan un QR para acceder. Haces un recorrido por todos los puntos indicados. En el manta point no hubo suerte, septiembre no es época de mantas. El sendero para ver dragones es algo corto, simplemente vas a un punto de agua en el que suele haber algún dragón. Hay más senderos, más largos, que se podrían recorrer.”
