Is this trip right for you?

There are some long travel days on this trip. We will be driving by private transport (as there are no suitable public transport options available). Some of the roads can be quite bumpy as local infrastructure development is limited. We will make stops to break up the trip and it is a good idea to read or listen to music along the way, and to bring some medication if you are prone to carsickness.
verified
Accommodation in general in Flores is more basic than you would experience in Bali as tourism is still developing. There are some nights there hot shower is not available and the rooms will be multi-share. This is, of course, a small price to pay for the chance to venture off the well-beaten tourist path.
verified
You will need to be a confident swimmer to participate in this trip’s included snorkelling activity. Those who don't wish to snorkel can choose to spend time on the boat or beach instead.
verified
There are some included treks so good fitness and suitable footwear is required. See the itinerary for more detail.
Itinerary
Encounter Komodo dragons as you explore Flores Island
Discover charming island life on a tour across Flores – Indonesia's ‘Flower Island’. On this nine-day trip, you’ll hike to Mt Kelimutu at sunrise, soak in the Mengeruda Hot Springs, visit a remote village in Wae Rebo and walk through the spiderweb rice terraces. Spend two days sailing through the Komodo Islands and hike to the top for amazing views, swim at Pink Beach and see the home of the Komodo dragon up close. Exploring one of Indonesia’s less-touristed islands, this is one adventure you’ll remember for years, taking the road less travelled and experiencing the unique culture and hospitality of Flores along the way.

Absolutely recommend this trip to anyone willing to see Indonesia from a more raw perspective.
While the days and drives may be long, the wait is worth it at every stop. An absolutely unforgettable experience - leaving was like waking up from a dream, I didn't want it to end.
Trips will never be perfect without a good group configuration and excellent guide. Thankfully, I had both. I'm so grateful for my guide Yohanes, who did everything and more to ensure we had an enjoyable trip. His knowledge of Flores was outstanding. Yohanes is unbelievably kind, if you needed something, nothing was too much to ask. Thank you for making this trip one I won't forget!

Great trip to an island in Indonesia that will become much more touristy soon so go now! Good mix of overland, hiking, and on the water.

Yohanes, our group leader, helped us experience a great adventure during this trip.
The best part of the trip was the last 2 days sailing, hiking, and snorkeling in komodo National Park.
We were extremely lucky to see 6 komodo dragons, including a baby dragon.
Go before the rest of the world finds out, and it gets crowded.

This was a brilliant trip, seeing rural life throughout our journey across the island. Lots of unique experiences along the way. The 2 day boat trip was particularly amazing with so many activities to take part in over the 2 days. Our hike to the conical huts was sadly cancelled due to bad weather but our guide, Yan, created a brilliant alternative itinerary. We were looked after every step of the way and Yan, together with our bus driver Anus, was amazing at managing any eventualities! There are some long days of travel on some bumpy windy roads but the journeys are broken up by activities along the way. A really varied trip!

I had eight unforgettable days during the "Komodo and Flores Adventure" trip: our guide Yohanes, ten very enthusiastic travelers, the itinerary, and the weather were all in perfect harmony, as is fitting for Indonesia.

Yohanes was a great leader. Long days of driving steep, twisty and narrow roads were offset by the lovely time snorkeling from the boat. We had a very enthusiastic group of fellow travellers who made the trip extra special.

A unique opportunity to see Komodo Dragons, and some of the most stunningly beautiful, unspoilt scenery I have ever had the privilege to visit. The Indonesian people were warm, welcoming and a joy to engage with.

Komodo and Flores Adventure 12 May 2024. An excellent trip, lots of variety, highlights Wae Rebo overnight stay and the boat trip around Komodo Islands. Seeing the dragons up close in their own environment was just amazing. Our group got along really well and our leader Yohanes was excellent. He always had a smile and he would do his utmost to ensure we all had a truly memorable trip. Our driver driver Eamon was also excellent, handling any of the challenges of the road conditions with such skill. He was also very obliging helping with luggage and ensuring our safe boarding and exiting of the bus. He and Yohanes were an excellent team and censured everything ran smoothly.
