Things to do in Labuan Bajo

What a wonderful trip! I have no complaints—everything was perfect: timely pick-up, friendly staff, and a comfortable boat, along with all the beautiful locations and fantastic weather. We set out early for the boat, allowing us to be among the first to arrive at each location, which meant we enjoyed less crowded spots before the others arrived. I was a bit concerned about the lunch box based on previous comments, but it turned out to be quite good. I had the chicken, and it was delicious! I highly recommend this tour!

its a great trip.. good food.. friendly guide and photographer.. smooth pick up arrangement from hotel to boat

The pick up time was on point ,what I liked mostly it’s that we were almost the first ones in each point . Wear comfy shoes for the hiking and have some slippers for the beach. sadly I didn’t saw any mantas and no turtles. my guide gorge (I think that’s the name ) did a wonderful job! I really expected to see more Komodo dragons as I went to Labuan bajo specifically to see them ,I saw only 2. the lunch was tasty and my group was really nice! I recommend 100%

Our first stop was the legendary Blue Lagoon Cave — The moment I entered the cave, I held my breath in awe. The light rippled across the cave walls in hues of turquoise and azure — so beautiful that I couldn’t bear to look away. Our next destination was supposed to be Boleng Beach, but as the wind picked up and the waves grew restless, the captain changed course, guiding us instead to a nearby reef for snorkeling. The world grew silent; only the soft rhythm of my breathing mingled with the pulse of the sea. As evening fell, we climbed Amelia Hill to watch the sunset. The hill itself was modest in height but breathtaking in beauty. There were no steep paths or rugged climbs — only gentle slopes of wind-shaped grass that rolled toward the horizon. The hill may be small — a fifteen-minute walk to the summit — but from there, you can witness one of the most tender sunsets in the world.

We had a really fun trip and overall a great experience from start to finish. The boat was smaller since it was a small group, but it was comfortable, safe, and well organized. The guide and staff were very helpful, especially when assisting everyone in and out of the boat. Just a heads-up: in the morning the tide is low, so you do have to step or jump out into knee-length water, so flowy dresses are not ideal. All of the activities were great. The hike to the viewpoint had a lot of stairs but was manageable and took about an hour. Pink Beach was nice, though not as pink as Instagram photos, which is good to know ahead of time. Komodo Island was a highlight, and we were lucky to see Komodo dragons, including one walking around. Lunch was very good with plenty of food and vegetarian options. We saw manta rays and turtles, with better visibility at Turtle Point. Everything went smoothly. Just note the Komodo Island entrance fee must be paid in cash. Overall highly recommended for trip!

the boat was clean and comfortable. there was an AC but we didn’t really needed as the wind blow through the window. the crew and guide were friendly and helpful to others with mobility issues. they provided equipment for snorkeling and lifevest. food was simple local fare, but was fresh and okay. duration at each stop was just enough and didn’t feel rushed. at Komodo island, we took the medium trail. you can just wear a sandal but sunblock is a must.

Leaving this review for every Chinese tourist who loves to enjoy and save money! As this private tour came to an end, standing on the pier, my tired mother said: "The experience today was truly intense." Being able to charter a boat with my parents, who are in their 70s, hike to the top of Padar Island together, and visit an almost deserted pink beach on the advice of our guide Andro, is a memory I will cherish for a lifetime. The fruit on board helped us replenish our energy, the brand new cushions allowed my father to lie down and rest comfortably, and Andro taking family photos for us at every attraction were all private services that exceeded my expectations. At the beach, my mother exclaimed that it was the clearest water she had ever seen in Indonesia. My father's first snorkeling experience made him as excited as a 17-year-old. Komodo dragons, baby sharks, coral, and sea turtles are all etched in our memories. When we went snorkeling at Manta Point, Andro went into the sea first to search, and after confirming the area where the manta rays were, he had the boat take my parents nearby, then used a lifebuoy to pull my mother to the area where the manta rays were feeding, and then held my father's hand, who was wearing a life jacket, to watch five black and white creatures circle and play in the sea. Seeing my father's red life jacket floating in the sea for a long time, I felt his joy and shock at seeing the free ocean giants. If you are traveling with 3 people, paying this fee may be more than double that of a large group, but the care and attention you receive is something you cannot experience on a hot, noisy, and unfamiliar large group tour (I have also participated in large group tours). But if you are traveling with 6 people, no matter how you look at it, this kind of chartered boat trip is the most cost-effective. A project with hundreds of reviews and a score of 4.8 is definitely worth it.

the trip was amazing. the places we visited wow - so magical. the boat crew very accommodate and friendly. the time was given is enough for us

Everything was amazing from the start, on time pick up, classy & spacious boat with clean snorkeling accessories, free drinks and snacks and most best of all the crew which managed all of us perfectly safely. all the spots was covered, saw 3 giant Komodo’s, 7 manta rays, 3 sharks and 2 turtles. The crew also helped to take photos. It was a worthy trip to Komodo National Park.
