Arriving at Komodo Airport (LBJ)
For those starting their journey from Komodo, Labuan Bajo’s Komodo Airport (LBJ) serves as the primary entry point. The airport, located on the western tip of Flores Island, offers regular flights from major Indonesian cities like Bali and Jakarta. Upon arrival, visitors can easily access the town center, which is just a short 10-minute drive away. From here, travelers can explore local accommodations or head directly to the marina to board vessels for further adventures.
Connecting to Raja Ampat from Labuan Bajo
Travelers wishing to visit both Komodo National Park and Raja Ampat can take advantage of domestic flights from Labuan Bajo to Sorong Airport (SOQ). Sorong serves as the main starting point to Raja Ampat. Once in Sorong, a speedboat ride lasting approximately 2.5 to 3 hours will take you to Waisai, the starting point for your Wayag adventure.
Exploring Labuan Bajo
Labuan Bajo is not just a transit point but a destination worth exploring. The town offers a range of accommodations, from luxury resorts to budget-friendly hostels. Visitors can enjoy local culinary delights at various eateries, visit the local fish market, or explore nearby attractions like Batu Cermin Cave. The vibrant local culture and stunning sunsets make it an ideal stopover before heading to Raja Ampat.
Transportation Options in Labuan Bajo
Upon arriving at Komodo Airport, travelers can choose from several transportation options to reach the town or harbor. Taxis and shuttle services are readily available outside the terminal. For those wishing to explore Labuan Bajo at their own pace, renting a scooter or car is a viable option. These modes of transport provide flexibility and ease for exploring the lesser-known spots in and around Labuan Bajo.
