Labuan Bajo is located in Flores, on the western region of Indonesia’s East Nusa Tenggara Province. The city is served by
Komodo Airport, which is located just a couple of kilometers outside of town and is served by several of the local airlines and some regional carriers as well.
This small city is a favorite destination among tourists, especially those traveling to the popular Komodo Island, which is a fantastic and very popular vacation destination for those looking to spend a few days basking in the sun, sand, and water activities of the beach. Since Labuan Bajo is the most common starting point for most of the surrounding islands, it’s relatively easy to get a ferry or boat departing several times a day for islands such as Komodo Island and others. There are several hotels near the
Ferry Port, so travelers who are going to Labuan Bajo specifically for this reason can enjoy a large selection of accommodations all within easy reach of the terminal.
Of course, most travelers to Labuan Bajo are eager to see the komodo dragons, so a visit to the Komodo National Park is certainly on most itineraries. There are several ways to reach the national park, and one of the easier ways may be to first go to
Kanawa Island, then organize a tour of the national park through a local tour group or directly through the hotel. Either way, it’s sure to be a spectacular experience and not one to be missed while exploring the wonders of Labuan Bajo.
