Komodo has been on my list for a long time. My tickets are booked for an arrival in Bali on May 3rd. Departure is May 14th. The current plan is to overnight near Denpasar and take a Garuda flight to Labuan Bajo.
Ideally I want to have a 3-day liveboard plus 3-4 days of land-based diving. The liveaboard search is not working out well for those dates, so I may be land-based the whole trip. My one need on a liveboard is air conditioning.
It would be nice to use the last 2-3 days for something new. I visited Bali 3 years ago and enjoyed unwinding in Ubud. I could do that, but I really want to visit an active volcano. I need some advice on this. One idea is to fly from Labuan Bajo to Ende or Maumere for a side trip to Kelimutu crater. The other option would be to fly back from Labuan Bajo to Surabaya for a trip to Bromo in East Java. Which would be easier logistically? Which would be more rewarding?
