🌴 6 Days in Labuan Bajo – Komodo, Islands, Sunsets & Slow Days

Labuan Bajo completely surprised me. I originally came for the incredible islands and Komodo National Park, but I ended up loving Labuan Bajo itself just as much.

My trip had the perfect mix of adventure and slow travel  Komodo dragons, Padar Island, Pink Beach, snorkelling, sunsets, paddleboarding, flying foxes, good food and plenty of time by the pool.

Day 1 – Arrive & Sunset at Loccal Collection 🌅

Check into Loccal Collection and don't plan too much for your first day.

The views from the hotel are incredible, particularly from the pool overlooking the ocean and islands.

Day 2 – Komodo National Park Day Trip 🐉🏝️

This is the big adventure day and an absolute must when visiting Labuan Bajo.

I did a full-day boat trip through Komodo National Park, including Padar Island, Pink Beach and Komodo Island.

The climb up Padar Island is definitely worth it. Once you reach the viewpoint, you get that famous panoramic view across the different bays and surrounding islands.

Then it was time for Pink Beach, with its beautiful pink-tinted sand and clear water.

And, of course, one of the biggest reasons for coming to this part of Indonesia  seeing the Komodo dragons.

It was a long day, but absolutely worth it and easily one of the highlights of my trip.

Day 3 – Le Flores Floating Restaurant & Paddleboarding 🏄♀️

After the big Komodo day, slow everything down.

Spend the day at Le Flores Floating Restaurant. Have lunch and drinks, enjoy the views and hire a paddleboard to get out on the water.

Don't rush off after eating. Make it a proper lazy island day.

This was one of those simple holiday days that ended up being one of my favourites.

Day 4 – Snorkelling, Island & Flying Fox Sunset Cruise 🦇⛵

In the afternoon, head out on another boat  but this time for a much more relaxed sunset trip.

My trip included snorkelling, an island stop and watching the flying foxes at sunset.

Watching the sunset  from the boat was such a beautiful experience.

Definitely add this to your Labuan Bajo itinerary.

Day 5 – Explore Labuan Bajo, Buso

Give yourself a day without a strict schedule.

Explore Labuan Bajo, wander around the harbour, stop somewhere for coffee and enjoy the town.

Find somewhere beautiful for another sunset before heading out for dinner.

I had an amazing dinner at Buso, which was one of my favourite meals during my stay.

Day 6 – Pool Day & One Last Sunset ☀️🌅

Finish the trip slowly.

Sleep in, have breakfast and spend some time by the pool. Don't feel like you need to squeeze another tour into the itinerary.

One of the things I loved most about Labuan Bajo was simply sitting somewhere beautiful and taking in the views.

Have one last drink overlooking the ocean and, of course, watch one final sunset.

💛 My Tips for Labuan Bajo

My biggest recommendation is: don't rush it.

A lot of people seem to use Labuan Bajo simply as the starting point for Komodo National Park, but there is so much more to enjoy.

Do the big Komodo National Park day trip, climb Padar Island, see Pink Beach and the Komodo dragons.

But also leave time for the slower experiences.

Spend a day at a floating restaurant. Hire a paddleboard. Go snorkelling. Watch the flying foxes at sunset. Find some live music. Eat somewhere special. Sit by the pool with a drink.

And watch as many sunsets as you possibly can. 🌅

Labuan Bajo reminded me that sometimes the best trips aren't about how many places you can fit into your itinerary.

Sometimes you just need to slow down and enjoy exactly where you are. ❤️
