Fishing village and base for visits to the Komodo National Park

Labuanbaju is a cute little fishing village with a disproportionate tourist industry, thanks to it being close to the Komodo National Park. Despite this focus, it is still a very pleasant village to while away some time, spent along the waterfront looking at its intricate fishing boats – truly incredible vessels, sort of huge outrigger canoes, with short masts -, or visiting the local fruit and vegetable market.

The village also has an interesting artefact shop.
