点评:The trip started off with us renting a scooter (can range from 75k-150k idr) from Labuan Bajo city. We left LB city at about 10.15am.It takes about 30-40minutes to get to the jetty. Google search rangko cave in googlemap but towards the end follow a board with sign to Rangko Cave by turning left. There will be someone to guide you back to the jetty to pay for the boat if you miss it. Per boat they charge 500k idr, doesn't matter how big or small your group is. The range can be as little as 300k idr if you come with a tour guide/taxi that brought you there. From jetty to the cave takes around 20minutes. The boat guy will wait there until you came out, allowing you around 1 hour 40minutes to play in the cave. It was just 5minutes hikes from cave jetty to the cave. And you will have to pay 50k idr per pax for the entrance as well.
By the time we leave the cave is around 1.30pm. The cave has got pretty dark by the time we reached around 11.30am. Try to get there earlier in the morning.
Bring enough drinking water, snacks maybe. The cave is quite small, water is chilly but decent enough to be swimming in bikinis. Once you got there it can be quite humid and hot, so bring along insect repellent. And maybe some water to rinse off the saltwater after swim. They do have facilities to change but it is not maintained and without water. Steps going down the cave is slippery, so be very cautious.
Probably it's once in a lifetime visit, but I glad I made the trip as it was my first time doing cave swimming. My 2cents, it doesn't worth it if you are not a water person.
翻译:这次旅行始于我们在拉布安巴焦市租了一辆摩托车(价格在 75k-150k 印尼盾之间)。我们大约在上午 10:15 离开 LB 市,到达码头大约需要 30-40 分钟。在谷歌地图上搜索 rangko 洞穴,但快到终点时,左转,沿着标有 Rangko 洞穴的牌子前进。如果您错过了码头,会有人带您回到码头付船费。每艘船收费 500k 印尼盾,不管您的团队规模大小。如果您带着导游/出租车前来,费用可能低至 300k 印尼盾。从码头到洞穴大约需要 20 分钟。船夫会在那里等你出来,让您有大约 1 小时 40 分钟的时间在洞穴中玩耍。从洞穴码头到洞穴只需徒步 5 分钟。而且您还必须为每人支付 50k 印尼盾的入场费。
我们离开洞穴的时间大约是下午 1:30。当我们到达时,洞穴已经很暗了,大约是上午 11:30。尽量在早上早点到那里。
带上足够的饮用水,也许带上零食。洞穴很小,水很冷,但穿着比基尼游泳也还不错。到达那里后,可能会非常潮湿和炎热,所以要带上驱虫剂。游泳后也许还要带一些水来冲洗掉盐水。他们确实有更衣设施,但没有维护,也没有水。走下洞穴的台阶很滑,所以要非常小心。
这可能是一生一次的旅行,但我很高兴我参加了这次旅行,因为这是我第一次进行洞穴游泳。我个人认为,如果你不喜欢水,那就不值得了。
