From Kelimutu’s Colored Lakes to Komodo’s Legendary Dragons — Flores in Full
This 15-day journey begins with a flight from Bali to Maumere, the gateway to eastern Flores. From here, the adventure unfolds across one of Indonesia’s most diverse islands. Travelers explore remote villages, scenic coastlines, and untouched natural landscapes rarely seen by mass tourism.
The Komodo Island Flores Tour from Bali, a 15-day journey, includes a sunrise visit to Kelimutu National Park, where three volcanic crater lakes display changing colors. Along the way, guests experience traditional weaving villages, local markets, and authentic Flores culture.
A Private 15-Day Expedition Through Flores’ Culture and Komodo’s Wild Coastlines
As the trip continues west, the landscape transforms into rolling hills, jungle valleys, and unique cultural regions such as Bajawa and Ruteng. One of the most memorable moments is the trek to Wae Rebo Village, a hidden mountain village known for its iconic cone-shaped houses and deep-rooted traditions. This cultural encounter offers a rare insight into the daily life of local communities.

The journey then reaches Labuan Bajo, the gateway to Komodo National Park. Here, guests board a private boat and begin a multi-day island exploration. Highlights include trekking on Padar Island for breathtaking panoramic views and visiting Komodo Island to see the legendary Komodo dragons in their natural habitat.
In addition, the experience includes relaxing at Pink Beach and snorkeling in crystal-clear waters rich with marine life. At Manta Point, travelers have the chance to swim with manta rays, one of the most unforgettable wildlife encounters in Indonesia.
