 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sehr schöner Ort. Beim Eingang gibt es lokale Produkte der Farmer. Wir haben eine ganze Ananas für rund 30.000IDR gekauft.
Der Eintritt zum Wasserfall inkl Tourguide kostet 80.000IDR für 2 Personen.

Ich kann diesen Ort nur empfehlen.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We paid 75k for two people with a guide and a motorbike. It is mandatory for tourist to go with a guide but it is worth it. We visited 3 waterfalls and did some pretty cool jumps (up to 6 meters) definitely recommend the experience. Our guide Peter was super nice!! We also had some local coffee and it was amazing, you can even have locally grown pineapples.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely worth it! Payed 90 k for three people. Our lovely guide Robert showed us all the waterfalls and the natural infinity pool. We could jump and get in the water at each stop. The drive from Labuan Bajo takes about 1 hour - streets are great to drive and have awesome views
