Hotels near Komodo International Airport - LBJ, Labuan Bajo

It was a stopover for our tour of the Komodo Islands. Looks like there was great seafood in restaurants which we would have liked to try, but too late to make reservations. If we return we will choose a location closer to town so we can explore what it has to offer.

SO many incredible things to do in and around the area. The people were so kind and we did our PADI open water course with Dive Tribe Komodo. We did a day trip of the islands around and that was fantastic.

This is my first time to Labuan Bajo and I enjoyed very much at Padar Island to see the panoramic view. Beautiful crystal clear water at several islands. Also very interesting visiting the Komodo National Park to see the Komodo dragons.

Highly HIGHLY recommend the 3D2N liveaboard to see multiple islands, pink beach, the Komodo dragons, Padar island with the beautiful hike for the view, and snorkeling throughout. We got to see baby sharks the last day and swim with them! It was amazing! Also highly recommend Cunca Wulang waterfall, Rangko cave, and the Mirror Stone cave. I do wish that I got to walk around the harbor and all the shopping around it but all the natural beauty was well worth the trip!

I came for diving - going on a short Liveaboard for 3 days and doing 3 days of shore diving. The place is on the cusp of turning towards the dark side of tourism ghetto that is overbearing, but at the moment it's worth visiting. I would have stayed for another day, but airlines serving the airport (Komodo International Airport) do what they want. My flight there was delayed 2 hours and my flight leaving to connect with an international flight was rescheduled less than 48 hours before departure. It meant i had to leave the day before because there was no way i'd make the connection. People working there told me my experience is a common one - giving much worse examples. For less experienced divers, be aware currents are common - some very strong.

Labuan Bajo was so nice and beautiful, amazing experiences with one day boat trip seeing Komodo dragons, manta rays and Pink beach. Additional trips to Cunca Wulang waterfalls and Rangko cave were also definitely worth of doing! Great location, still relatively small so getting around in area is easy, but still having lot of options for different restaurants and activities. Did not have time enough to explore Flores further to east but I can imagine that would be also nice experience.
