Posted at 1042h in INDONESIA 2 Comments Nuestro paso de Lombok a Labuan Bajo en barco fue algo que no olvidaremos nunca, en este post os lo vamos a contar todo! Ya os adelantamos que estuvo cargado de emociones…miedo, sorpresas, risas y alguna que otra decepción! También daremos una alternativa para los que necesiten hacer esta misma ruta en un barco más grande y a un precio rastrero. Quédate con nosotros si quieres saber más! El tour de Lombok a Flores en Barco Acerca del Tour Lombok – Flores¿Como es el Barco?¿Con que agencia contrato el Tour?¿Que incluyó nuestro Tour?Paradas en el Tour de Lombok a FloresParque Nacional de Komodo¿Merece la pena hacer el tour de Lombok a Labuan Bajo?Otras opciones, ferry público El tour de Lombok a Flores en Barco A grandes rasgos, ésta experiencia consiste en navegar durante 4 dias y 3 noches por el Mar de Flores en un pequeño barco compartido con otras 15-18 personas y haciendo paradas en diferentes puntos. El barco al menos el nuestro no disponía de camarotes, solo de un espacio compartido en la parte superior con una altura de unos 50cm en el que se extienden colchonetas para dormir. Menuda aventura! Una de las mejores partes, es la cantidad de gente de otros países y culturas que conoces. Uno de los puntos fuertes de esta experiencia, es la gente con la que convives durante esos días, todo mochileros de diferentes nacionalidades, Suecos, Belgas, Suizos, Franceses y Chinos, si, si! un grupo de 10 chinos que por cierto no hicieron pasar unos días de muchas risas y nerviosismo a la vez. No dejes de mirarte el video que hemos dejado más abajo! Acerca del Tour Lombok – Flores Seguro que llegado a este punto te estas haciendo muchas preguntas, precios, que incluye…¿voy pasar hambre? ¿hay enchufes?… Tanquil que no cunda el pánico! A Continuación te lo contamos todo. ¿Como es el Barco? El barco en el que nosotros fuimos el más rastrero es de lo más básico. Como hemos dicho más arriba, una estancia compartida para dormir con el resto del grupo. Tenía un water agujero al mar y nuestra ducha, era el oceano! Vamos, lo justo para las 3 noches que pasamos. Ah! Y no, no habían enchufes. El capitán una vez al dia sacaba un pequeño generador de corriente y ahí cargamos, móviles, cámaras y el drone. ¿Adivináis cual de estos tres barcos fue el nuestro? En los estándares Europeos, normalmente los barcos tienen radio, GPS, radar, diferentes equipos de comunicación… este barco solo tenía timón y la palanca de motor. Definitivamente un barco Rastrero! Sabemos que esto no inspira mucha confianza, pero tienes que saber hay diferentes tipos de barcos para todo tipo de presupuestos y con muchas más comodidades. En los que encontrarás, camarotes individuales, solariums, pasando incluso, por clases de Yoga, eso sí! A precios nada Rastreros! 👉 CONSEJO RASTRERO Si eres de los que se marea, olvidate de coger un barco como el que nosotros cogimos. La segunda noche aquello parecía una lavadora, ahora nos reímos, pero pasamos un poquito de miedete. ¿Con que agencia contrato el Tour? Nosotros contratamos este tour a través de la agencia Kencana adventure en Lombok siguiendo la recomendación otros viajeros. Tenemos que decir que a pesar de las malas reviews que se pueden leer, NOSOTROS NO TUVIMOS NINGÚN PROBLEMA, el tour se hizo según nos lo habían explicado. También es cierto que en general, casi todas las agencias tienen malas reviews, así que en este caso guiarse por los comentarios solo te llevará a no hacer esta experiencia. A continuación os dejamos más detalles sobre ésta y otras agencias. 🚤 Kencana Adventure 📍 Jl. Raya Senggigi, Senteluk, Batu Layar, Kabupaten Lombok Barat ⌚ Precio Tour 4D-3N 96,80€ actualmente, su precio es de 160,30€ Otras agencias con las que podéis obtener más información sobre estos Tours podrían ser Perama Tours, Le Pirate Tours, Wanua Adventure, AbelTravel, Floresxp ¿Que incluyó nuestro Tour? Llegamos a un punto importante de este post. Por supuesto las comidas y el agua están incluidas en el precio, pero hay que decir que el menú es bastante básico. La variedad no es muy amplia, verduras, noodles, carne, arroz y algo de fruta, todo al más puro estilo Indonesio. Si eres vegetariano te recomendamos que lo avises. En esa época, Vanesa no comía mucha carne y no tuvieron ningún problema en prepararle un menú para ella. CONSEJO RASTRERO Nuestro barco y seguramente todos llevaba una nevera gigante en la que manteníamos el agua fresca. Si quieres llevar alguna cerveza u otro tipo de bebidas, solo tendrás que comprarla. Llévate algunos snacks y chocolates, seguro que los agradeces. No pasarás hambre, pero las cenas suelen ser muy temprano. Paradas en el Tour de Lombok a Flores Los puntos fuertes de este tour de Lombok a Labuan Bajo en barco sin duda alguna son las paradas que haces en el camino. Puntos de snorkel con una vida marina increíble, playas de color rosa, miradores o puntos de limpieza a los que acuden las mantas raya, son algunas de la experiencias que os esperan en este viaje. A continuación os dejamos algunas de las paradas más destacadas que nosotros hicimos durante los 3 días. Palau Padar Island Se sitúa no muy lejos de Rinca otro de los lugares donde ver el dragón de Komodo y es uno de los tops de este tour, sino te lo crees mira el video de más abajo, la imágenes con el drone son increíbles. Padar Island es de esos sitios que cambian según la época que la visites, verde como la selva en los meses de lluvia o rojo marciano» en la época seca. Dependiendo donde atraque tu barco, podrás subir a un mirador u otro. Sea cual sea, el sitio es precioso! Kelor Island beach Otro de los platos fuerte de este tour. Ésta junto Palau Padar fueron para nosotros de los mejores lugares que visitamos. Kerol island es un pequeño islote que se sitúa no muy lejos de Labuan bajo y al igual que el anterior se incluye en los tours que se pueden hacer en la zona. Aquí vas a encontrar agua cristalina, arena fina como la harina y un fondo con una vida marina increíble! Es realmente bonito! Mojo Island En este punto estuvimos prácticamente de paso. Solo visitamos la isla para ver unas pequeñas cascadas. Hay que decir que no fue nada especial, pero bueno como experiencia no está mal. Pantai Merah o Pink Beach esta pequeña playa se encuentra en el mismo parque nacional de Komodo. Una playa no muy grande pero que se caracteriza por el tono rosado de su arena provocado por pequeños trozos de coral y conchas marinas. No espereis una playa rosa pirtuleta! El photoshop puede hacer mucho daño! Parque Nacional de Komodo Pero sin duda, la parada más famosa de este Tour es para visitar a los famosos dragones de Komodo. Decir que la entrada al Parque Nacional de Komodo NO está incluida en el precio de tour, así que tendrás que pagarla si decides visitarlo. 250000IDR 16,15€ En este caso hay dos opciones, el Parque Nacional de Komodo o Rinca. A pesar de que con la entrada que pagas, puedes visitar los dos parques, en nuestra ruta solo entraba el parque natural de Komodo. Tenemos que decir que fué la gran decepción de este tour, no solo porque los dragones dan la sensación que están domesticados, sino porque el entorno estaba lleno de basura y plásticos. Jamás pensamos que un parque nacional declarado patrimonio de la humanidad, podría encontrarse tan descuidado. Retomando el tema de los dragones, mira el video que ponemos un poco más abajo, Eloy explica más el tema. De cualquier manera, nuestra conclusión es que no recomendamos la visita a este parque. ACTUALIZACIÓN 2020 Tras volver del viaje, efectivamente algo no iba bien en ese parque. Oficialmente, el Parque Nacional de KOMODO ha cerrado sus puertas y de momento no hay fecha de reapertura. Principalmente por dos razones, el robo de dragones para el comercio ilegal y para preservar la especie. ¿Merece la pena hacer el tour de Lombok a Labuan Bajo? ¿Solo hay que ver las fotos no? Bueno también hay que decir que además de juntarnos un grupo super majo, tuvimos la suerte de que los dueños del barco son una familia encantadora, con la que conectamos desde un primer momento. Además, nos hicieron sentirnos como uno más. En conclusión, tanto por las cosas buenas, como las cosas no tan buenas, la experiencia de Lombok a Labuan Bajo en barco, merece muchísimo la pena. Otras opciones, ferry público Si eres claustrofóbico o te da miedo el mar pero quieres viajar barato, la otra alternativa es el ferry público. La mala noticia es que no sale todos los días de la semana, por lo que necesitas informarte bien antes de decidirte por esta opción. La empresa se llama Pelni y aquí puedes encontrar los precios y horarios. La duración del viaje es de 1 dia y medio, por lo que pasarás dos noches en el barco. Te incluye 3 comidas al dia que básicamente son arroz con verduras y carne o pescado. Llevate algun snack porque las raciones de comida no son especialmente grandes. El precio es de – mucho más económico que la opción anterior. Pinchando en este banner para contratar tu seguro, tendrás un 7% de descuento. A nosotros no dan algo de dinero, el cual invertimos en añadir contenido a este blog! Gracias Rastrero 🙂 Bueno pues hasta aquí este post de Lombok a Labuan Bajo en barco. Desde luego una experiencia que no deja a nadie indiferente. Si te has quedado con dudas, ya sabes, no dudes en dejar tu comentario abajo. Ah! Por cierto puedes encontrarnos en Instagram y Youtube .

Tip We Seek Travel readers get 5% OFF How to Get to Komodo Island? - Is a 4-Day Boat Trip the Best Option? If it's your first time researching Komodo and how to get to Komodo Island, then you might be understandably confused about where to actually go. The gateway to the Komodo Islands is a small harbor city known as Labuan Bajo. If you're taking the 4 Day and 3 Night Komodo boat trip from Lombok, this is where you will finish. If you're looking to experience the best of the Komodo Islands and National Parks, taking a Komodo boat trip from Lombok is going to be one of your best options. Here's a list of reasons why Shorter, 2-Day Boat trips from Labuan Bajo run at almost the same price! You'll save money on flights You'll get to experience other highlights on the way, including Moyo Island The boat stops at all the Komodo Island highlights, including Padar Island and Rinca Island All National Park fees are included! - This is a big one, costs can run over $50 USD for just the entry tickets There is only one main operator that I can actually recommend running boat trips from Lombok to Komodo Island or Flores and you can now book this directly on Viator. This is a small local business organizing the best, safest fleet of boats departing from Lombok. They organized everything for me, including accommodation pickup from my hotel in Senggigi. Alternative Option for How to Get to Komodo Island If you'd rather fly straight to Flores or Komodo, then it's also possible to grab a cheap domestic flight to Labuan Bajo also known as Komodo Airport - LBJ. There are flights connecting daily to Denpasar in Bali. As you might already know, it's also possible to do the reverse trip, from Labuan Bajo to Komodo, which covers the same boat itinerary in reverse. If you plan to do this, then I'd recommend booking a flight to Labuan Bajo. Hiking Rinjani? Read - Mount Rinjani Crater Rim Hike How Much Does the Boat Trip Cost? When I took the Komodo boat trip from Lombok the price was Million Rupiah per person for deck class. There was also the option to pay a little more to get your own cabin for million Rp. However, as with everything in the world lately, it seems the price has gone up a bit. Either way, it looks like it is still excellent value, as the trip is all-inclusive and includes everything for 4 days and 3 nights. I'd recommend just getting the deck class because the cabins can get hot and noisy since they're closer to the engine, which will run all night. What's Included on the Boat? Here's a list of what's included for the boat trip from Lombok to Komodo Island Flores. Accommodation pick up from anywhere in Lombok Deck bedding with a pillow and blanket for 3 nights All meals, typically Indonesian-style food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner Snacks, unlimited coffee, and tea Unlimited fresh drinking water they give you a free reusable drink bottle to minimize plastic waste Lockers for small bags and valuable items Snorkels and masks All relevant National Park Entry Tickets Hiking guides to spot Komodo Dragons on Komodo and Rinca Islands What's Not Included?

The guys can organize large Bintangs for 50,000 each when you arrive at the departure meeting location. How Often Do Boats Run from Lombok to Komodo and Reverse? The 4 days and 3 nights Lombok to Komodo boat trip departs every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. If you're planning the reverse trip from Labuan Bajo to Lombok, then boats leave every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. Komodo Boat Trip From Lombok Itinerary Here is the full Komodo boat trip from Lombok itinerary from this tour to help you understand what you might expect on the trip. I'll do my best to give an accurate recap of my entire experience. However, unfortunately, we experienced some engine troubles on the second day, so the trip had to be extended. This wasn't a problem for me personally since we were still able to go on all of the adventures. Regardless, although my itinerary was a little different from the one below, I've written the standard Komodo boat trip from Lombok itinerary to help you understand what to expect. Day 1 - Depart from Lombok - Kenawa Island Depending on where you're staying in Lombok, there will be a minibus organized to pick you up between 700 and 800 am. From here, you will be dropped at the meeting point in Ampenan, which is the old city near the Pier just north of Mataram. Here, you'll be given a quick briefing, settle any unpaid debts, and have the opportunity to organize any beers or wine you might want to bring with you. Lombok Kayangan to Kenawa Island Palau Kenawa After everyone has met at the Ampanan meeting point, another minibus will make the 2-hour journey to the harbor on the East side of Lombok Island. Once we arrived, we were immediately greeted with fresh fruit and loosened the docking ropes for the short journey towards Kenawa Island Palau Kenawa. Kenawa Island Sunset Viewpoint The first anchorage location on the Lombok to Komodo boat trip is Kenawa Island. This is a small island with surrounding white beaches and a small hill from where to watch sunset. We all climbed to the top and watched the first sunset slip away behind the distant Lombok horizon. This was a great time to snap some shots and an opportunity to meet your fellow crewmates. After sunset, we again boarded and set course for Bola Island, where we would lay anchor and sleep for the night. Day 2 - Bola Island to Moyo Island Since it's a little bit of a stretch to get to Moyo Island from Bola Island, the captain turns the engine on before sunrise. This might be a little bit of a rude awakening, especially for those sleeping in cabin class, since they're right next to the engine room. For this reason, choosing the deck class is a much better option. Sunrise at Moyo Island Morning Dolphin Greetings We awoke to the first ocean sunrise by the captain calling out for a pod of dolphins. We sipped coffee, watching the dolphins splash and play in the golden Indonesian seas. Moyo Waterfall After an unlimited portion of banana pancakes, we arrived at Moyo Island. We were surprised to see that the vegetation was completely different from what we'd seen in Lombok prior. The trees were greener and reminded us more of an Australian island landscape. The first item on the Moyo Island agenda was to take a short jungle hike to Moyo Waterfall, also known as Air Terjun Moyo. While the main waterfall wasn't flowing at maximum potential due to the season, it wasn't completely dried up and still had a decent trickle. Moyo Waterfall Tree Jump During the dry season, the main attraction at Moyo Waterfall is actually not the waterfall itself. The team guided us up the waterfall and into a small jungle clearing with a narrow but deep freshwater pool. From here we took turns jumping from the highest trees directly above the waterhole. Snorkeling at Moyo Island After the morning waterfall trek, it was time to get our masks and fins on for the first snorkeling opportunity of the Lombok to Komodo boat trip. The waters surrounding Moyo Island are pristine with healthy coral reef and schools of fish. Following the snorkeling trip, we ate a plentiful lunch and bunkered in for the long stretch from Moyo to Komodo National Park. Long Stretch to Komodo - 18 Hours Sailing Since you'll be covering a large stretch of water from Moyo Island to Komodo National Park, the next 18 hours will be spent on board the boat. While there isn't much to do during this time, it's an essential part of the journey to Komodo from Lombok. As I mentioned earlier, we experienced some engine troubles at the start of this section and were forced to anchor at a nearby island known as Satonda Island as we waited for a replacement boat. For us, this wasn't a big deal. We spent the rest of the afternoon jumping from the boat into the crystal clear waters and swapped boats later in the evening. We were told that this long stretch of ocean is susceptible to rough seas and strong wind. However, we had flat seas the entire trip in October. If you're a little seasick, the crew stock seasick tablets to help with symptoms. Anchored at Satonda Island Day 3 - Komodo Island, Pink Beach, and Long Beach Pantai Namo Finally, after a long stretch at sea, you'll finally arrive in Komodo National Park. The first item on the agenda is to visit the famous Komodo Islands to see the Komodo Dragons. Komodo Dragons Included in the trip price is a guided hike around Komodo Island to spot some wild Komodo Dragons. Our guide was super informative and spotted a couple of small dragons on the trail. After the hike, we were taken to the restaurant where we spotted some absolute monsters! Do the Komodo Restaurants Feed the Komodo Dragons? Like me, you might initially assume that the restaurant on Komodo Island feeds the dragons to keep them coming back. However, I sought out some local knowledge of the matter to see if it was true. It's true that the Komodo dragons were being fed up until 2009. However, this was stopped with the introduction of a new conservation law. The introduction of this law is strictly enforced by the national parks, who are responsible for protecting the dragons. It's important to remember that Komodo dragons are large reptiles, and therefore need to minimize movement throughout the day to conserve energy. They are drawn to the restaurant by the smell of food. However, dragons only actually eat once a month, therefore you'll just find them lazing around rather than hunting most of the time. The Komodo dragons need to rely on their natural hunting behaviors in order to get food on Komodo Island. Pink Beach Komodo Island Pink Beach is one of the most famous beaches on Komodo Island. It's known for its naturally pink sand, incredible snorkeling, and turquoise water. My tip for Pink Beach is to snorkel out roughly 150 meters from the shore. Here, you'll find a steep reef wall with incredible coral and marine life. Long Beach Komodo Island The last activity on Day 3 of the Komodo boat trip from Lombok is a stop at Long Beach. This is also known as Pantai Namo, and as its name suggests, it's a long stretch of beach on Komodo Island. What you might not know is that this beach is also technically another "Pink Beach". In fact, our opinion was that this beach was actually "pinker" than Pink Beach. Regardless, this stop is another great opportunity to do some snorkeling. We spotted several turtles and even a reef shark! After all that snorkeling, the boat anchors outside of Padar Island in preparation for the epic sunrise trek in the morning. Day 4 - Padar Sunrise Hike, Rinca Island, Kelor Island, and Labuan Bajo Day 4 of the Komodo Island boat trip from Lombok is arguably the most epic. Padar Island Sunrise Hike You'll be woken up early by the crew to begin the short but epic sunrise hike to the top of Padar Island viewpoint. If you google "Komodo" this is the photo that you'll probably see first. It's the iconic line of jagged mountains on mountains edged by sandy beaches of every color. The hike doesn't take more than 20 minutes and there is a newly constructed pathway that makes it an easy walk. The views from the top of Padar Island were one of the most incredible sights I'd ever seen, which makes up for how crowded it can get. Rinca Island Since you're in Komodo National Park, you get double the chance to see wild Komodo dragons. This time, the boat stops at Rinca Island, which is much smaller than Komodo. Again, you'll have a hiking guide included in the initial price, who will guide you to see the dragon nesting sites and resting Komodos. Kelor Island The final stop of the epic boat trip from Lombok to Komodo Island is Kelor Island for sunset. Unfortunately, due to the engine complications, we cruised past this island and didn't have time to stop. However, we still saw some of the famous bats who make the nightly flight from the island and block out the setting sun with their sheer numbers. Labuan Bajo, Flores And just like that, the trip comes to an end at the main port of Labuan Bajo, the harbor capital of West Manggarai Regency of the island of Flores. We said our goodbyes and after checking into our hostel, met up at the Paradise Bar. This is a popular Reggae Bar overlooking the harbor.

Although we experienced some boat issues, I was astounded by how quickly a local company organized a replacement boat.

Satonda Island Sunset More Lombok Travel & Adventure Guides I hope that you've enjoyed this guide to the epic Komodo Island boat trip from Lombok! Before you head off, check out some of my other guides below as well! The first time I heard about the boat trip from Lombok to Labuan Bajo was when I visited Satonda Island in 2010. I saw a boat passing by the island where we were and our guide told me about the boat trip. Since then, I kept dreaming of joining the trip. It seemed fun & adventurous! But for a long time, I had never gotten the chance since life took me elsewhere. So when we lived in Jakarta, I asked Kyle what if we could go to Komodo island, promising he could see the most beautiful beaches Indonesia has to offer. And finally I was able to join the boat trip from Lombok to Labuan Bajo! Despite living not very far from the sea we lived in Central Park, West Jakarta, we didn’t visit the beaches very often. I didn’t really enjoy Thousand Islands and often I was busy with my job, which sometimes required me to work on the weekend. But one time, I got 7 days off so we both decided to leave Jakarta immediately! A BOAT TRIP FROM LOMBOK TO LABUAN BAJO I did my research to find out how to do the boat trip from Lombok to Labuan Bajo. Though a Facebook group called Backpacker Indonesia, I found an operator called Wanua Adventures. The operator got a lot of positive reviews from the group members and they all seemed happy with Wanua. Soon after I found their page, I contacted them and booked a 4D3N boat trip from Lombok to Labuan Bajo. The price is per person for the boat trip with a cabin room. It’s slightly more expensive than the price for sleeping on the deck. Since we want to be able to sleep more comfortably I chose the cabin. Pak Yayat from Wanua Adventures gave me a discount so we paid for each of us. The price also included a pick-up service from Lombok International Airport to Labuhan Lombok harbor, meals 3x per day, and entrance fee to Komodo national park. THE BOAT The boat departs to Flores from Lombok every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. When we landed at Lombok International Airport on Saturday morning, Pak Yayat and friends were waiting for us at the airport. With a car, they took us to the harbor located on the eastern side of the island. It took around 1 hour to get to the harbor. But when we got to the harbor, we didn’t have to wait long to get on board since the boat was ready. My first impression of the boat was positive. It looked nice, clean, and well-maintained. Compared to the other companies’ boats I saw on the harbor, the Wanua Adventures boat was much larger, and seemed much more comfortable. There was plenty of room in the main deck/ eating area, and a nice spot at the front of the boat to enjoy some sun while sailing. The deck sleeping area is spacious and clean. Mattresses, pillows, and blankets were prepared for about 25 passengers. On the bottom floor I found our cabin. It was small but equipped with a mattress that was quite comfortable, along with a fan. There wasn’t much space to keep our stuff so we had to put our belongings on the bed as well. Beside our cabin, there was one more cabin. A French family stayed there. Before the boat trip from Lombok to Labuan Bajo started, I was feeling a little bit nervous due to a boat accident that had happened at Lake Toba, North Sumatra before because of overcapacity. But Wanua assured me that they were taking passenger safety seriously. Since there were 30 passengers at the time, Wanua decided to use 1 boat. If there were more than 30 people, they would use 2 boats. DAY 1 – TRIP DEPARTURE AND SAIL TO KENAWA ISLAND We were lucky that the boat trip from Lombok to Labuan Bajo got off to a very smooth start. The waves weren’t that big so we could enjoy the scenery around Sumbawa island while had lunch together. Around 4 PM, the boat arrived at Kenawa island. This is the first island that we visited during the boat trip from Lombok to Labuan Bajo. Kenawa island is a small uninhabited island located just 58,2 km from Lombok island at the northwestern side of Sumbawa island. Located at Alas strait, it’s part of Poto Tano district, West Sumbawa regency, West Nusa Tenggara. Kenawa island has a unique topography where most of its surface is covered by a green meadow. A hill stands at the tip of the island. We visited Kenawa island during the dry season so we didn’t get to see how green the meadow was. Instead, we get to see the sea of brown grass. Kyle said he prefers to see the green meadow but for me brown meadow also nice and unique. I had never seen scenery like that in Indonesia. Due to its unique topography, Kenawa island is a popular destination for Indonesian tourists. People came to take pictures and to camp. We hiked to the peak of the hill to enjoy the spectacular view of Alas strait and Sumbawa island in the distance. On the way back, we found a few houses with odd shapes stands on one side of the island. Its shape was round and decorated with many glass bottles. I was very intrigued by the house since it looked like alien houses! When we took a look inside the house, a couple of white people welcomed us and told us that they are the scientist who participating in a program called Earthship, which means they living in a kind of home made of natural and recycled materials to save the environment. It was a strange yet exciting experience to see such houses in an uninhabited island near Sumbawa. Before came back on the boat, some people bought beer from the only warung on the island. DAY 2 MOYO ISLAND WATERFALL TREK & SNORKELING The 2nd day of boat trip from Lombok to Labuan Bajo was started with breakfast at 8 AM. I woke up feeling a bit dizzy since the waves got higher and shook the boat many times. I had to take a motion sickness medicine to be able to sleep well. Right after the breakfast was finished, the boat crews told us to get on the small boat. The boat then took us to a small island called Moyo island. I’ve been curious with this island for a long time! Back to my work trip to Sumbawa & Satonda island in 2010, the guide told me that Princess Diana and her lover came to the beautiful island for vacation. The island should be amazing if she decided to visit it among other destinations in the world, I thought at that time. Another reason why I was very excited to visit Moyo island is that I heard there was a very pretty waterfall in the middle of the island. But unfortunately, we didn’t visit this waterfall. Instead, we visited a small waterfall that looked exactly like a normal waterfall. It wasn’t huge and nothing special compared to other waterfalls in Southeast Asia. Even Kedung pedut in Kulonprogo, Yogyakarta is way nicer! The boat crew told me we can’t go to the pretty waterfall since we would have to pass the resort area and it’s not free. How disappointing… But even though I didn’t get to visit the pretty waterfall, I quite enjoyed a mini-trek through Moyo island. It was a short 20 minute walk through the jungle to a tucked-away waterfall. The rest of the day was spent snorkeling & swimming. Since the boat didn’t stop anywhere that day, it became a great opportunity for us to have a little group bonding with our fellow travelers. DAY 3 GILI LABA DARAT ISLAND – MANTA POINT – PINK BEACH – KOMODO VILLAGE This was by far my favorite day of the trip. We woke up before sunrise to visit Gili Laba Darat island. This island was my favorite island during the trip from Lombok to Labuan Bajo. Gili Laba Darat, also known as Gili Lawa is one of several breathtaking viewpoints in Komodo National Park, Flores. Most people come to see the sunrise, so did we. I was amazed once we got off the boat the first thing I saw on the island were some deer roaming around. Wow, I had never seen deers or other animals in the wilderness of Indonesia! The atmosphere of Gili Laba Darat also felt like Africa since the grass has turned brown. The island consists of several hills. We all hiked to one hill for around 40 minutes. By the time I reached the peak, the sun was rising high in the east, creating a magical moment for all of us. The scenery was wonderful, very scenic & breathtaking! The deep blue ocean stretched as far as I could see, surrounded by the cool brown hills. The landscape of the islands rising out of the sea was also incredible. The hike was not bad at all and was worth every drop of sweat for the pictures. After the spectacular Laba View Point, we headed back down to our boat and set sail for Manta Point. I didn’t snorkel since I was feeling tired but Kyle did. He said it was an awesome experience seeing many manta rays! In the afternoon, the boat was approaching Komodo island. But we won’t be visiting the komodo dragons until the last day. The boat then took us to the infamous pink beach that’s also located at Komodo island. I was a bit skeptical about the numerous publicities of pink beach. I thought it wouldn’t be as gorgeous as seen on the internet. But I was wrong! The pink beach was nice, cool, and lovely! We had a great time enjoying the beach & swimming there. In case you are wondering why the sand looks pink, the beaches are said to get their color from microscopic animals called foraminifer. These tiny little creatures have pink shells and live in coral reefs surrounding the beach. Consequently, pink sand is a mix of shells, coral, and calcium carbonate. The last place we visited during 3rd day of the boat trip from Lombok to Labuan Bajo was Komodo village. Komodo is a village located in the subdistrict of Komodo, West Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara province. The village encompasses the territory of Komodo Island and the small surrounding islands. I can’t say the visit to Komodo village was enjoyable. It was a good opportunity for us to see the real-life of local people. We wandered around the stilt houses that were built to not get flooded by high tide and bought snacks and drinks at some warungs. Some travelers even played football with the local kids. But I didn’t like what I saw in the village. The beach looked very dirty, I also saw a pile of trash around the corners of the village. More than that, I read a story where kids had to stop their education since they have to go to Flores to continue their studies but the families don’t have enough money to pay the school fee. I also heard the only opportunity for them is to work as a ranger in Komodo national park. As an Indonesian, I support the central & local governments’ preservation of the Komodo Dragon. But providing a better life and easy access to education is essential and mandatory for Komodo villagers. Education is the key to creating a better life for all of them and they deserve to get it since they are also Indonesian! DAY 4 KOMODO ISLAND – KELOR ISLAND – LABUAN BAJO, FLORES The fourth and final day of the trip. It’s time to visit Komodo National park and see these beasts in person. We got off the boat and made the short walk to the entrance of the national park. In contrast with Komodo village, Komodo national park looked nice, clean, and well-maintained. We were told that since it was mating seasons for the komodo dragons, it was pretty rare to see them on the island. But once we arrived at the entrace we were surprised by our ranger who asked us to go to the beach. It turned out there was one komodo dragon there lying on the sand. Everyone on our group seemed amazed seeing Komodo dragon in person. It was huge and looked dangerous! During the journey around Komodo National Park, we were always guided by one or two rangers. It’s mandatory to follow them since they know well about the beast and the island. A few tourists in the past who thought they were smarter than the rangers ended up get bitten by Komodo Dragons, resulting in painful wounds or death. It was nice hiking around Komodo island. We got to see 3 Komodo dragons in total. After the excitement of seeing three different Komodo dragons when the expectation were rather low, we got back on our boat and made our way to the last stop Kelor island. It was also a nice small island. Kyle snorkeled and happy with the variety of fishes he saw, but I preferred to enjoy the scenery around the island. There was also a small hill on the island but we were too lazy to hike under the heat. After the group returned from Kelor island, we set sail for our final destination — Labuan Bajo. We also enjoyed Labuan Bajo even though the town was dusty. But I liked the scenery and variety of restaurants there. When I get another chance, I am sure going to visit Labuan Bajo again, maybe by flying from Bali to Labuan Bajo. FOOD & DRINK If you join the boat trip from Lombok to Labuan Bajo as I did, you’ll get three meals each day, and there’s pretty much always enough for seconds. Most of the meals are served with some soy-based dishes like tofu or tempeh, a vegetable dish, plain rice and noodles occasionally, meat, and a fruit platter. They have tons of cases of bottled drinking water. There’s also unlimited coffee and tea. Also — before you get on board you have the option of buying beer and soda from a vendor who will run to the store and grab them for you. You also can buy beer at some warungs like in Kenawa island or Komodo island. I recalled there were also some boats that came just to sell beers & snacks to us. IS THE BOAT TRIP WORTH IT ? Joined the boat trip from Lombok to Labuan Bajo was absolutely worth it. It was a once in a life experience to live aboard a boat for 4D3N in one of the most scenic parts of Indonesia. It wasn’t very comfortable though since the boat was shaken by the waves many times and I didn’t get the chance to have a proper shower for a few days. It was definitely different from cruising in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam where we were staying in a nice cruise. But it was still a very unique and memorable experience for us. If you are considering taking the boat trip from Lombok to Labuan Bajo, I’ll tell you, just take it. You’re comfort levels are tested at times, but it is absolutely worth it. You’re guaranteed to see some incredible sights, meet awesome people, and have the trip of a lifetime.
