Labuan Bajo Hemat Budget (2026)

Labuan Bajo bisa murah kalau kamu tahu triknya. Bukan berarti nggak seru — cuma perlu strategi.

Akomodasi Budget

Hostel dorm: Rp 100.000-200.000/malam. Cari di area Jl. Soekarno Hatta atau Gang Permata. AC, WiFi, locker biasanya include.

Homestay: Rp 150.000-300.000/malam. Kamar privat, kadang include sarapan. Lebih tenang dari hostel.

Tips: Booking langsung ke hostel (WA/telepon) biasanya lebih murah dari OTA. Minta rate buat 3+ malam.

Makan Murah

  • Warung lokal di Pasar Baru: Nasi campur Rp 15.000-25.000.
  • Warung seafood Kampung Ujung: Ikan bakar + nasi + sayur Rp 35.000-50.000.
  • Indomie di warung pinggir jalan: Rp 10.000-15.000. Reliable backup.

Hindari restoran di waterfront — markup 2-3x dari warung biasa buat makanan yang sama.

Transport Hemat

  • Jalan kaki: Pusat kota Labuan Bajo kecil, 20 menit ujung ke ujung.
  • Ojek/Grab: Rp 10.000-20.000 dalam kota.
  • Sewa motor: Rp 75.000-100.000/hari. Paling hemat kalau mau ke Cunca Wulang atau spot luar kota.

Trip Komodo Budget

Sharing open trip: Opsi termurah. Rp 500.000-700.000/orang buat day trip. Biasanya 10-15 orang per boat.

Gabung last minute: Kadang operator punya sisa slot dan kasih diskon. Tanya langsung di pelabuhan H-1.

DIY snorkeling: Sewa boat kecil ke Kanawa atau Sebayur (Rp 300.000-400.000 ber-4). Bawa snorkel sendiri.

Total Budget Per Hari
