By sea
This route is the cheapest route to go to Labuan Bajo, there are several PELNI ships that stop at the port of Labuan Bajo. Among them KM. Wilis, KM. Kelimutu, KM. Sirimau, KM. Tilongkabila.

Well, after arriving in Labuan Bajo just find a way to get to the Komodo National Park. The only way to go to Komodo Island is by boat, you can rent a boat from Labuan Bajo or for one to 4 people it is better to join an open trip organized by several tour operators.
