โต๏ธ What were the highlights of your trip?
This trip was my first time visiting Labuan Bajo, and it exceeded all my expectations! Living on a Phinisi boat and island hopping to all the key attractions was definitely the main highlight. While living on board we snorkelled Kelor and Manjarite Island, watched thousands of bats at sunset flying above from Kalong Island, caught the sunrise atop Padar Island, visited Pink Beach and spotted 10 of the worldโs largest living lizards at Komodo National Park! Visiting Melo Village and watching the traditional Manggarai dance, Caci, was also an unforgettable experience, followed by a delicious lunch at Dapur Tara!
๐ If you were to go back what else would you do?
When I go back to Labuan Bajo, I would love to check out itโs many incredible dive sites! Labuan Bajo is known for its world class dive sites, including Manta Point and Batu Bolong, where you can spot vibrant reefs, manta rays, and whale sharks.
๐ฎ๐ฉ Any tips for first-time travellers to this destination?
100% opt for the live on-board experience! There are so many incredible sites to see in Labuan Bajo, donโt rush it trying to see them all on a day tour. The boat we lived onboard was incredibly comfortable, and there are so many luxe and budget friendly options for all kinds of travellers.
