Labuan Bajo is a fishing town located at the western end of the large island of Flores in the East Nusa Tenggara province of Indonesia. It is the capital of the West Manggarai Regency, one of the regencies on Flores Island. The town is one of the gateways into the charm of Flores; you can reach it by direct flight from Malaysia, Jakarta, Surabaya, or Bali, or you can do so by ferry boat. Why should you come to Labuan Bajo? Because there are some good destinations to visit, such as Mirror Cave Stone, Puncak Waringin Hill, Amelia Sea View, Ranko Cave, several waterfalls, and Komodo National Park. Komodo National Park is located in the center of the Indonesian archipelago, between the islands of Sumbawa and Flores. It’s composed of some major islands (Komodo Island, Rinca Island, Padar Island, Gili Motang, and Nusakode), and there are some smaller islands. Exploring the Komodo National Park, you will have a good underwater experience with a thousand kinds of fish, such as manta rays, turtles, sharks, and others, and still have a chance to relax at some beautiful pink beaches with crystal seawater. Take a moment to appreciate the panoramic views of the turquoise sea, dry or green rolling hills, blue sky, and the colors of the beach. Komodo Island is inhabited by a population of flora and fauna, especially Komodo dragons.
