#celebrateit #WaecicuHill Waecicu Hill in #labuanbajo is often hyped as a prime sunset spot, but I think it deserves way more credit than just that. This hill offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding islands, lush landscapes, and the crystal-clear waters of the Flores Sea. Even without the golden hour glow, the scenery here is absolutely stunning. One of the best things about Waecicu Hill is the peaceful atmosphere. Unlike some of the more crowded viewpoints in Labuan Bajo, this spot allows you to truly take in the beauty of nature without distractions. The hike up is relatively easy, and along the way, you’ll find unique flora and might even spot some wildlife. 🌿🦜 I’d recommend coming in the late afternoon to enjoy the cooler temperatures and soft daylight that makes the ocean look even more vibrant. Bring some snacks, a camera, and just soak in the view—no sunset needed. If you’re in Labuan Bajo, this place is absolutely worth a visit for the scenery alone! 🌊✨

The dream of seeing a Komodo dragon finally came true during this year's Lunar New Year holiday. Unfortunately, due to the dishonesty of the local shops, many itineraries could not be realized, such as: Pink Beach, Padar Island, Stingray Point, etc. I have to confirm that if any of your friends want to travel to these places in the future, they must do their homework, otherwise the local operators are very dishonest and will only ruin your fun! A good online platform provider is even more important. This time when I booked my trip with KKday, I was really angry. Maybe I can resolve the issue by taking legal action in the future. Trip.com has always been reliable for the flights, hotels and itineraries I booked with them (to be honest, Trip.com has not given me any benefits, this is just my sincere words after this incident). I will still book trips on this platform in the future because it is worthy of my trust! In addition, the country of Indonesia, whether it is Bali, Penida Island or Komodo Island that I visited this time, may be due to the quality of the people, or it may be because they have been spoiled or spoiled by Europeans and Americans for many years, it is completely different from Bali that I visited more than ten years ago. I will not visit this country again in the future. Because it's not worth it!

Last week I visited Labuan Bajo in Flores, Indonesia. I took one day trip to Komodo National Park. It only costed me 1.4 million rupiah or about 100USD. The scenery was amazing. I went snorkling in 2 different spots, actually they offered 4 spots but I was too tired to explore. One of these spots would enable you to see the manta-ray which very rare to be seen. I also had a chance to see Komodo dragon in Komodo island. You don't have to worry since the tour guide always ensure your safety. They said as long as you didn't get too close you would be okay. In addition, the people were so humble and friendly. They knew I was a solo traveler but they never did anything bad to me. Instead, they always tried to help me. It was unforgettable journey in my life. I barely found tourist scam and I felt safe going anywhere by myself there. No cat calling at all. Lastly, I was amazed on how the tour guide giving their best to get me nice photos. I highly appreciated their service here. If you see my post I hope you would consider this place as your next destination. Please explore other sides of Indonesia.

So, I added a trip to Komodo Island. 📍Location: In Indonesia, next to Bali, you can take a small propeller plane from Bali to Komodo Airport. Oh, it's a tiny little plane!❗️ 🌈Featured recommendations: You can charter a boat for a two-day-one-night trip, yes, two days and one night!
