Plataran Local Cooking Class

Plataran Komodo Resort runs a private cooking class that starts with visits to the seafood market and a local market to choose ingredients. With the resort chef you then cook a three-course Indonesian menu, then eat it for lunch.

The package includes refreshments, a cooking class certificate and a Manggarai songke woven shawl as a souvenir. It is a polished, comfortable option suited to couples and families who want a guided introduction to local markets without arranging it themselves.

The same team offers other land experiences: a waterfall day to Cunca Lolos and Cunca Plias, and a half-day combining Batu Cermin cave, the Rangko sea pool cave and a fishing village. Enquire through Plataran by WhatsApp or email; non-guests can book.

It suits travellers staying at the resort or along the Waecicu coast who want a guided half-day without leaving the comfort of a hotel setting. Prices are at the upper end for Labuan Bajo, reflecting the private format and inclusions. Ask about combining it with the resort's sunrise hill breakfast.
