Getting around Labuan Bajo. You can rent motor scooters at an average price of 75k to 100k Rupiah per day. There is also the option of taking a taxi motor scooter. You can usually see these by looking for the motor bikes that are diving around town with one driver and an extra helmet. You can just wave them down. There is also local transportation which goes to Ruteng, Bajawa, or Ende. There are usually pretty dirty buses and you can get extremely car sick when diving through the mountains. As far as Labuan Bajo though, it is quite easy to get around on a motor scooter. |

When is the best time to Visit
Picking the right time to visit really depends exactly what you are looking to see. If you go towards the end of Rainy season, around Feb to April, you will see very green mountains and lush views, but you also may still experience a lot of rain in the afternoons as well. Many scuba divers like coming in the rainy season because you can usually see many more manta rays in the water and they are feeding. After around May, the grass starts to turn yellowish and then later a bit brown. Although this may not be as pretty for some travelers, you are usually guaranteed to have a dry trip. If your main goal is to see Komodo dragons, you can see then at all times of the year, so you don’t have to worry about that. Peak season for Komodo National Park is typically July to August. If there was a time that you might want to avoid (if you are not looking for Manta rays) is December to February, as this is high rainy seasons and many times the boat trips may get cancelled because of rough water and high winds. Although the weather is not good at this time, if you are looking to avoid any crowds, this would be a better time to go. It really depends on what you want out of your trip and what you are looking for.
