RM1,700 Labuan Bajo 4D3N Trip: Detailed Cost Breakdown & Travel Tips

You might be more familiar with Komodo Island, but the name of the gateway to this natural wonder is Labuan Bajo. You can choose between a day trip or an immersive 3-day-2-night liveaboard experience to Komodo Island, but there are also plenty of other exciting itineraries to explore on this island.

The total cost for our 4-day-3-night adventure per person was approximately RM1,714, and we had an absolute blast eating, drinking, and exploring. Let’s dive into the breakdown of the costs in each category!

✈️ Airfare: RM507
There are direct flights from KL to Labuan Bajo, making the journey a breeze!
💡 [Tip] If you’re traveling light, I highly recommend carrying only a backpack and skipping the checked luggage. This not only saves you time at customs but also makes your travel experience smoother.

🚄 Transportation: RM42
This includes airport and hotel transfers, as well as the cost of using Gojek/Grab Bike in the city.
💡 [Tip] Gojek/Grab Bike is incredibly convenient, with fares around RM4 to most locations. Plus, there are often great promotions when you first sign up for Gojek, making it even more budget-friendly.

🏡 Accommodation: RM246
We stayed at Zasgo Hotel for three nights, which is a charming, above-average budget hotel. The service was impeccable, and the environment was spotlessly clean. The only minor drawback is its location, which is a bit of a walk from the bustling streets, taking about 10 minutes. However, with the ease of Gojek/Grab Bike, getting around is a breeze, and the value for money is still excellent.

🍜 Food: RM186
We indulged in local Warungs, where we savored delicious fried rice, fried noodles, and mixed vegetable rice. We also dined at restaurants for some Western cuisine. For breakfast, we enjoyed coffee and smoothie bowls. In short, we had a mix of both affordable and upscale meals, and the overall cost was quite reasonable.

🎢 Entertainment: RM721
Our entertainment expenses included:
– Two relaxing massages
– A half-day tour to Rangko Cave, snorkeling, and Amelia Hill
– A full-day tour to Komodo Island, Pink Beach, and Padar Island
– Entrance fees for Komodo National Park
💡 [Tip] I’ve detailed the one-day tour in another post, so feel free to check out the homepage for more information.

☎️ Miscellaneous: RM12
As Hotlink users, we opted for the Roaming Service, which provided us with 5GB of data for three days, ensuring we stayed connected throughout our trip.
