Discover the Wild Wonders of Loh Buaya Komodo National Park

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving, you will want to start from Labuan Bajo, which is the main gateway to Komodo National Park. Head east on Jalan Soekarno-Hatta towards the harbor. From there, take the local road that connects to the coastal route. Follow the signs towards Loh Buaya, which is located at Pasir Panjang. The journey will take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours depending on traffic. Be prepared for some unpaved roads and remember to watch for wildlife along the way.

• Public Transportation

  To take public transportation, you will need to get to Labuan Bajo first. From Labuan Bajo, head to the local bus terminal and look for a bus or minivan heading towards Loh Buaya. The buses are usually labeled with their destination. The trip will take around 2 to 3 hours. Be sure to confirm the schedule, as they may not run frequently. Once you arrive at Pasir Panjang, you may need to walk a short distance to the entrance of Loh Buaya Komodo National Park.

• Boat

  For those who want a more scenic route, consider taking a boat from Labuan Bajo to Loh Buaya. This option offers stunning views of the surrounding islands and wildlife. You can rent a private boat or join a tour group. Prices vary, so it’s best to negotiate beforehand. The boat ride typically takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. Upon arrival, check with your boat operator for any additional fees or arrangements needed to enter the park.
