Flores -- 1 Day Snorkeling

I think apart from seeing the komodo dragons, my other favorite was the 1-Day snorkeling trip.

Flores -- Cunca Wulang

Do you like trekking? 

Then, check out the waterfalls near Labuan Bajo and go have a trek adventure: Cunca Wulang and Cunca Rami are the more accessible waterfalls in the area. Cunca Rami is known to have an easier path and often visited by people who don't like trekking or prefer a less challenging trip.

But if you like a bit of a hiking challenge and a wilderness enthusiast then Cunca Wulang is for you.

Flores -- Batu Cermin Cave + Waicicu Beach

A quick trip you can do that's near the town is Batu Cermin and Waicicu Beach.

From the town center of Labuan Bajo, both are only about 20 minutes away. If you're coming from the airport, then about 10-15 minutes on the motorbike.

If you prefer to walk, it's also doable. Best done in early morning so it won't be too hot.

Flores -- Rinca + Kanawa Day Tour

There are two island you can visit to see the famous Komodo Dragons. One is Komodo Island and the other, RInca. 

People will have various opinions on which island is better. After researching and asking around extensively, I realized, it all depends on you and your schedule.

Indonesia: Labuan Bajo, Flores Island

For our 3^rd year anniversary and Christmas holiday, Michael arranged a trip to the Flores Islands. Seeing the Komodo dragons has always been a dream for us, not only because they are part of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World (according to the UNESCO Heritage Site) but we were interested to see these giant lizards in action as well as experience the beauty of the island. 

What’s also highly fascinating is that the Komodo Dragon is one of the very, very few surviving representatives of the Pleistocene era, where creatures and fauna were of gigantic proportions. And now these beautiful lizards are endangered – currently there are only more or less 4,200 dragons left! Their endangerment is highly due to the diminishing fauna and food available to them on the islands they inhabit plus the changes their environments are going through.
