Destination highlights
Adventures in Flores island, Indonesia: Whether you’re trekking through lush forests, driving along mountain roads, or sitting down to share a local meal, each journey with me is a chance to discover the real Flores. Here are three powerful highlights from our tours — places that often leave travelers speechless:
Wae Rebo – The Mountain Village Above the Clouds
Wae Rebo is not just a destination — it’s a journey into another world. Tucked in the remote highlands, this 7-house village offers insight into the ancestral traditions of the Manggarai people. Guests hike through tropical forest to reach this UNESCO-awarded site, sleep inside a traditional home, and witness daily life untouched by modern distractions. Included in both the Wae Rebo Trip and the Overland Tours.
Melo Village – Culture, Weaving & Caci Dance
Just 40 minutes from Labuan Bajo, Melo Village offers a rich cultural immersion for those short on time. Watch the powerful Caci whip dance, learn about ikat weaving, and enjoy panoramic views of Flores' coastline. This experience is often included in our short trips around Labuan Bajo or day tours to Melo.
Kelimutu – The Three-Colored Lakes of Central Flores
Located near the town of Moni, Kelimutu’s tri-colored volcanic lakes are one of Indonesia’s most surreal natural wonders. Locals believe the lakes are home to ancestral spirits, and the shifting hues add to the mystical feel. Sunrise here is truly magical. A highlight of the Labuan Bajo to Ende Overland Tour.
