Draft:Port of Labuan Bajo

The Port of Labuan Bajo is a small port in southeastern Indonesia's island. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Port of Labuan Bajo is a small port on southeastern Indonesia near the island of endangered Komodo dragon.[1] Located on Labuan Bajo town, the western tip of Flores Island, it serves as the main departure point for trips to Komodo National Park, famous for its dragons and tropical islands.[2] The harbor is often filled with wooden phinisi boats, speedboats, and fishing vessels, creating a natural maritime scene.[3] As tourism grows, the port area has seen rapid development, with improved facilities and nearby cafes, hotels, and tour offices.[4] Despite modernization, it still retains a panoramic view, especially during sunset over the Flores Sea.[5][6]
