LOOKING FOR A BUDGET CRUISE
TO
KOMODO NATIONAL PARK
KLM TALLIA
When we started the Traditional Fleet of Indonesia in 1994, there were already a collection of local boats working the backpacker market from Labuhan Lombok to Komodo. This market is still strong and this vessel is one of the best. You will find a few cabins on this capable vessel, but for the true adventure, sleeping on the deck with a comfortable (provided) mattress is the way to go. The clientel aboard this cruise program will be diverse and fun loving and not limited to young people, you will find backpackers of all ages, and even professionals enjoy the freedom of traveling with like minded people. Food aboard this cruise will be local fair but plentiful and healthy. You will note in the program noted below that transfers from Labuhan Bajo back to Lombok are via bus, which can be an adventure in itself, should you elect to travel by air this can be arranged for approximately 100usd per person one-way.
