Nothing is better at providing a more intimate and romantic environment than an exotic location with great weather, beautiful sunsets, and endless opportunities for adventure. Labuan Bajo offers all of these things at an affordable price, and it is because of this that it has consistently featured among the world's top tourist destinations. Therefore, if you are looking to spend some quality alone time with your partner, you should definitely think about taking a trip to the Komodo Islands.
Once you get to the area, you will have several alternatives when it comes to the means of exploring the area. You can opt for a daily tour, a group sharing liveaboard trip, or a private liveaboard tour. For almost all couples, a private Liveaboard tour makes sense and it always proves to be worth the money. Here are the main reasons why you should go for this touring option.
An immersive experience of nature
Opting for a LIveaboard tour is the best way to explore the beauty of the Komodo Islands because you don't need to take back and forth trips. You explore, sleep on the boat, and then wake up and repeat the process all over again. This is great especially during peak seasons when everyone is competing for popular attraction sites. You can get to these sites earlier than everyone, and you can get to explore marine life before other divers scare them away. Furthermore, since you don't have to worry about making it to shore on time, you get the opportunity to explore deeper into remote areas where you have a better chance of encountering rare marine life. As a result, it will lead to a richer experience for both you and your partner.
The intimacy of private exploration
Group liveaboard tours are offered in Labuan Bajo. While these tours are relatively cheaper, they do not offer the privacy that couples need. For these tours, you and your partner may have to persevere through having to live with strangers. Dealing with different personalities, and depending on scheduled meals and activities can be a little bit inconveniencing for couples.
With a private liveaboard tour, you will get all the benefits of a liveaboard without the privacy concerns that come with shared tours. As a result, you and your loved one can get to enjoy intimate moments without worrying about nosy or annoying neighbors. You also get to take in experiences like beautiful sunsets when it is just the two of you, and this can go a long way towards strengthening your bond as a couple.
A flexible itinerary
Group liveaboard tours have to stick to a decided-upon itinerary. This is because they are designed to make the experience as pleasant as possible for everyone who signs up for the tour. Therefore, if you happen to run into a place or an activity that you love, you may still have to move on because not everyone may have the same experience. This can limit the degree to which you enjoy a tour. However, if it is a private liveaboard, you tend to move to your own beat and get to be choosy when it comes to experiences. When you run into something that you enjoy, you can overindulge, and this will lead to better satisfaction as far as the tour experience is concerned.
Option to split costs
The main thing that causes couples to shy away from going for a private liveaboard tour of Komodo Island is the cost. However, while such a tour is relatively pricier, you can cut on the tour costs by simply inviting other couples along. Doing so will allow you to split the cost with other couples. And since you get to choose who tags along on the trip, the adventure is bound to be more pleasant than when compared to going on an exploration trip with total strangers. Choosing this option will therefore afford you the convenience of a private trip without the costs typically accompany such trips.
