Explore Labuan Bajo on a 4-hour Smart Buggy tour, discovering cultural landmarks, local attractions, stories beyond Komodo, and scenic viewpoints with drone souvenir photos to take home.

The Labuan Bajo Urban Discovery Tour is designed for travelers who want to experience more than the region’s famous marine attractions. While Labuan Bajo is widely known as the gateway to Komodo National Park, the town itself offers fascinating stories, cultural diversity, and authentic local experiences.

Choose a morning departure at 09:00 or an afternoon departure at 14:00. Your journey begins with hotel pick-up in Labuan Bajo. Traveling by shared smart buggy creates a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere while allowing guests to explore different parts of town comfortably. Along the way, the guide shares insights into local life, community stories, and the development of Labuan Bajo as one of Indonesia’s leading tourism destinations.

Why a school, a recycling center, and a fish market? Most visitors only see Labuan Bajo from a boat. This tour shows the town behind the Komodo boom. See where young people train for jobs in tourism. Learn how the town handles the waste that tourism brings. Visit the fish market, where the town’s fishing life still goes on every day. This is the real “tale of two cities”: the resort side and the local life that supports it.
