Pulau Kelor berada di lautan sebelah barat pulau Flores.
Dari pulau kelor, anda masih bisa menyaksikan perbukitan-perbukitan di ujung
barat pulau Flores.
Kelor Island located
in the western sea of Flores Island. From this island you can still see the
chain of hills from the Flores itself.
Observe from a
Distance
Pulau Kelor sepertinya juga merupakan salah satu pulau
vulkanis, kebanyakan pulau-pulau disini termasuk pulau Komodo juga begitu. Jika
dilihat dari kapal, seperti bukit tandus yang muncul dari permukaan laut.
Kelor island is a
volcano island, as many other islands located here, including Komodo Island
itself. If you observe from the boat, you will see it as a barren hill that
come up the sea surface.

Pulau kelor sendiri terdiri dari sebuah bukit tunggal
setinggi kira-kira 20 meter (ini
pengamatan pribadi, belom di konfirmasi yaa…). Batas laut sebelah barat adalah
bebatuan dari bukit ini. Sedangkan sebelah timur adalah pantai menghadap ke
pulau Flores.
Kelor island can be
recognized from a distance by a single hill stand in a sandy island. West side
of this hill is a rocky shore, while the east side is a beach facing Flores.

Around the Island

Nama Kelor sendiri berarti 'makan' dalam bahasa Sasak. Mungkin saja dulunya memang tempat yang dipilih sebagai tempat buat makan oleh pelaut-pelaut, ane melihat beberapa dataran yang cocok dijadiin lapak piknik. Selain itu, di tempat ini juga ane pertama kali berkenalan dengan hidangan khas paket sailing dari Labuan Bajo, yang menurut penilaian ane, melebihi apa yang diharapkan.
Literally, the name Kelor itself is aword for 'eat' or 'dine' in Sasak language. Probably due to some part of this island is so comfortable for picnic, i wonder if in its old time, sailor choose this island for a lunch break. And for me, this was the point when my tongue met the menu of sailing package from Labuan Bajo, which are extraordinary and exceed my expectation.

Swimming in Crystal Clear Water Beach…

Crystal clear water beach

Sebelah timur Pulau Kelor adalah pantai dengan pasir yang
cukup putih dan crystal clear water
cuy! Buat berenang-berenang mah asik banget. Tapi kudu lumayan hati-hati, terakhir
kali ane kesini di Desember 2015, arusnya cukup kenceng. Perjuangan banget
ketika ane kudu menarik baju pelampung temen ane yang lain buat pulang ke
darat, yah kita emang kejauhan waktu itu, hamper 15 meter dari bibir pantai.
Kalo di pinggir sih, lumayan eksotis lah.
In the east side is a
slightly slopped clean and white beach, and also a crystal clear water. You can
swim here, enjoy the sand and the water. But be careful, don’t go far from the
shore as the current is quite strong. Last time I get here, it was a struggle,
while I pulled my travel mate’s safety fest from 15 meters from the shore line.
But after all, it was a nice swimming on the beach.
Buat penggemar snorkeling mungkin tidak akan terlalu puas
dengan coralnya, arus yang cukup kuat, tidak terlalu berwarna dan jarang, di
pantai sebelah selatan. Apalagi jika anda bermaksud menggunakan longfin disini, tidak terlalu dalam pada
bagian reef nya, lagian, untuk
kondisi arus yang kuat, konstruksi full
footed fin mungkin akan menyulitkan dengan kelenturan tumitnya.
For a fan of
freediving, you should be patient with just a common sandy reef in the southern
beach. Moreover, for a long fin user, the strong current force is not suitable
with your full-footed construction, the flexible hills will be much difficult
and powerless.
Trekking

Pay no need attention for her, try to find the path

Satu-satunya di pulau ini, adalah sebuah bukit tandus
berwarna coklat kekuningan, mungkin karena efek musim kering. Bukit ini membentang dari utara hingga ke ujung selatan pulau. Jalur mendaki
20-300 dengan keadaan kering dan berdebu ditambah dengan panas terik
matahari di siang hari adalah tantangan disini. Ane sarankan jangan pake baju
hitam waktu trekking. Juga pakailah alas kaki yang tepat. Jalur tandus berpasir
bisa bikin kepeleset. Tapi perjuangan tentunya setimpal dengan apa yang
didapat. Komposisi pemandangan perbukitan Flores, lautan yang biru bergradasi
dan tanjung pasir yang putih. Yaah, lumayan banyak foto mainstream
disini, hehehe.
The only one in this
island, is a brown-yellow-barren hills guess that due to the dry season. 20-300slopped
dusty track, combined with the so called midday sun is quite a challenge. I
suggest you for not wear a black suit and use a proper shoes for trekking, as
the sandy-dry path can easily make you slipped away. But the struggle is come
together with a great gift. A composition of Flores’s chain of hills, a
gradated-blue sea with a sun shine sparkle and also a tip of sandy Kelor
Island Peninsula. They were a common and famous photography here.

Secara keseluruhan, Pulau Kelor menghibur, cocok untuk
menghilangkan kejenuhan. Biasanya diletakkan di awal atau di akhir urutan,
dalam rangkaian tur LOB dari Labuan Bajo. Bule-bule disini menghabiskan waktu
untuk berjemur sepeti di pantai-pantai Bali. Bikini dimana-mana vroh! Ups.
After all, Kelor
Island is quite entertaining and suitable to winding your day. It’s usually put
in the very beginning or last in order for a LOB tour from Labuan Bajo. You
will see so many tourist here taking a nap, sun bathing just like in Bali.
