The town of Labuan Bajo on the island of Flores
is becoming quiet popular with tourists seeking something a little out of the
ordinary. Its charming main street now offering tourism offices selling diving
and tours to visitors, as this eastern Indonesian destination is gaining
popularity amongst those seeking the natural beauty of this region. If you’d
rather avoid the crowded tourist destinations, visit Labuan Bajo soon – you’ll
be delighted!
If you decide to stay at a Guesthouse Labuan
Bajo for a few nights, there’s plenty of eateries to choose - from
small, cheap places serving local food to restaurants offering modern
international cuisine. It almost cannot be avoided to witness the picturesque
sunset with ships of all shapes and sizes moored in the harbor, against a
background dotted with small islands, all swathed in glorious shades of colours.
Labuan Bajo is on the extreme western end of
Flores, where it is the principal port and the favored departure point by sea
for the islands of Komodo, Rinca and for ongoing travels to Sumbawa in the
west. You’ll enjoy every moment of a tour to nearby Rinca and Komodo islands to
visit the fascinating Komodo dragons and discover other local fauna and flora;
if you have the time, you can also visit other islands that line up on the
horizon, including Seraya Island.
Generally, Labuan Bajo in Flores is the first
or last stop for many visitors with an airport serving Bali and destinations in
Nusa Tenggara. The port also serves as the gateway to overland trips across the
island of Flores. It is one of Indonesia’s most fascinating ethological regions
little known outside missionary journals. If you are on a budget, you can take
buses, mini-buses and public taxis to other parts of Flores; car hire including
driver is also available.
But back to Labuan Bajo itself. The town is
nestled into the hillside on a beautiful bay offering vivid, spectacular
sunsets over the island-studded sea between Flores and Komodo. The availability
of diverse good-quality Accommodation in Labuan
Bajo, its convenient location as a start or end point for many
travelers, welcoming nearby beaches and wide range of
services (tourist, office, banks, money changers, telecommunication offices and
post) has made the destination even more popular among tourists.
You will find Labuan Bajo quite busy during the
period of June to August while the rest of the year is considerably less
crowded. So, plan your visit to Labuan Bajo and get the real feel of nature!
