Budget Island Hopping: Labuan Bajo by RORO Ferry

#asiabudgetchallenge 📸 Destination: Labuan Bajo, RORO Ferry 💲Budget: IDR 50,000–150,000 (~RM15–RM45) per person depending on route and vehicle type 🔆 Travel Tip: Arrive at the port early to secure your spot, especially if you’re bringing a motorbike or car. Bring snacks, water, and a power bank — the ride can take a few hours and amenities onboard are basic. 📝 The RORO (Roll-On/Roll-Off) Ferry in Labuan Bajo is a budget-friendly and scenic way to explore the islands of East Nusa Tenggara. Connecting Flores to nearby islands like Sape (Sumbawa), this ferry is popular among locals, backpackers, and overland travelers. Labuan Bajo itself is the gateway to Komodo National Park, but the RORO ferry allows you to go further and slower — through the Lesser Sunda Islands — with your motorbike or vehicle in tow. The ferry terminal is located just 15–20 minutes from Labuan Bajo town center, and while the journey isn’t luxurious, the passing landscapes of small islands, turquoise seas, and fishing boats make it worthwhile. Ideal for adventurous travelers seeking to explore Indonesia’s remote gems on a budget. #asiabudgetchallenge
