Indonesia 2017, Leg 2: The Komodo Adventure
by allancarreon on Jul.17, 2017, under My Life, Travel & Culture
We arrived in Labuan Bajo (on Flores Island, about an hour from Bali by plane) on Tuesday afternoon.
Flores is an island of the Lesser Sunda Archipelago and is close to the Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage island chain that is home to the famous Komodo dragon. Thus, Flores is a gateway for adventure-seeking tourists who wish to see the komodo and many other wonders of nature in the archipelago.
As we arrived already late in Labuan Bajo, we simply signed up for a Wednesday all-day joiner island hopping tour. This was through Kita Tours, one of the many tour organizers we encountered along the harbour. The price was extremely reasonable, especially compared to what was being offered back at the hotel.
