Labuan Bajo, Indonesia | My first snorkel boat trip and the fish market
So I ended in Labuan Bajo, my last stop in Flores Island.
I now transformed from a local to a traveler. I stayed in a really cool hoste, took small boat trip and made friends. Later, I went on a snorkel-diving day with Scuba Republic ( ).
I recommend anybody going to Labuan Bajo to choose Scuba Republic, prices are good, food is good, the people are amazing.
Komodo Dragons (& the Labuan Bajo Seafood Night Market) // Summer: Indonesia 2
We spent the summer traveling Indonesia! We went to Labuan Bajo to arrange a tour of Komodo National Park - the only place in the world that you can see wild Komodo Dragons! It's something that I've always wanted to do - a bucket list item.
We ended up arriving late. Our plane was delayed 2 hours, so we didn't get into town until around 7:00PM. We had to hurry to find a tour for the next day, but there were plenty of options.
The tours are pretty much all the same. You go for 1 or 2 days. The 2 day excursion has more to offer, but the sleeping conditions are usually just a mattress on the deck of the boat. There are two things that I will put an effort into making good: 1) food 2) sleep. We had to sacrifice a couple decent meals for this boat trip. There was no way I was sacrificing a comfortable nights sleep.
So we decided on the 1 day tour, which was suppose to include a hike to a viewpoint on Padar Island, the Komodo dragons at Komodo Island, Pink Beach (which has pink sand), and some snorkeling with Manta Rays at Manta Point. But there was a catch, if the ocean was too rough then they would go to Rinca Island instead of Komodo, and you would go to 2 snorkeling areas that were closer to mainland instead of Pink beach and Manta Point.
At 5:30 AM we headed to the boat and watched the sun come up as we rode for about 2 hours. Breakfast was a couple of buns, but local coffee was free-flowing. The hike up to the viewpoint was very hot and sunny, but it was quite beautiful. I think we spent about an hour there.
After that, we got back on the boat fully expecting to head to Komodo Island next, but we went back the way we came to Rinca. No one said that it was too rough - it didn't seem that bad. I got the feeling that the boat crew preferred the much closer expedition. It's a shorter day and it's less fuel.
The difference between Rinka and Komodo, from what I read, is that Komodo is a bit more natural. You go on a hike and try to see the dragons. At Rinka, you also hike, but all the dragons we saw were sleeping around the park headquarter's huts. Somewhere online, I read that they feed them so they hangout there. I asked the guide and he said they don't feed them because it's too dangerous. Who knows.
Either way, we saw the largest lizard in the world - up close and personal - and it was really cool. They're pretty scary. They look grumpy. I wouldn't want to upset one.
At one point, one came around the corner and ran at another one. The guide yelled Get back! Get back!, which we were all frantically doing already. It was the highlight of the day.
Both snorkeling spots ended up being duds. The little sand island we went to was nice to relax on, but the sea life was pretty minor.
We got back to Labuan Bajo at about 5:00PM, just in time to clean up and head out to the seafood night market for a feast of fish and squid, and to discuss the daily events.
The night market is a great place to eat in Labuan Bajo. It was full of fresh seafood and other Indonesian eats. We had a bit of a hard time finding it, but it turned out that it had been moved from the area by the harbor side market, to a field in behind the mosque (on the main street along the water).
We picked out a fresh red snapper and a squid and had them grill them up. It comes with rice and a bit of vegetables. The food was pretty good and the atmosphere was fun, with flames roaring from grills and the call to prayer being blasted from the nearby mosque.

Cunca Wulang, Labuan Bajo, Flores
Best to travel around in Flores is by driving your own motorbike.
Or you can rent a car with a driver, which cost you a lot more.
Cunca Wulang is about an hour drive from Labuan Bajo city.
From the main road you will see sign on your left to go to Cunca Wulang and the other 2 waterfalls.
From the main road is only about another 10-15 mins drive down the hill, until you reach the main post where local people are waiting to guide you.
From the post, it might take about 30 mins if you walk so fast as the local people.
It's quite tiring for me. Sweating a lot. You better have water with you at least half liter.
