Labuan Bajo is a coastal town on the western tip of Flores Island, serving as a key gateway to the Komodo National Park area in East Nusa Tenggara. It’s a practical base for divers heading to the Flores Sea, with a couple of local dive centers offering day trips to nearby reef and wall sites, as well as liveaboard connections to Komodo and surrounding areas. Water generally warm with good visibility near sheltered sites; current can vary. The town itself provides shore access, a small marine-yelling vibe, and services for divers, including gear rental and boat transfers.
