5D Tour Trip

Flores Overland Adventure 5-Day Tour

4.5 (booked)

Details

 

Embark on an unforgettable 5-day, 4-night overland adventure across the heart of Flores Island—one of Indonesia’s most captivating yet less-traveled destinations. This immersive journey from Labuan Bajo to Maumere or Ende (or vice versa) is designed for curious travelers who crave meaningful cultural connections, scenic road trips, and raw natural beauty.

Your adventure begins with a scenic coastal and highland drive toward Wae Rebo Village, a UNESCO-awarded cultural site nestled 1,200 meters above sea level. Accessible only by trekking through rainforest-covered mountains, Wae Rebo is home to the Manggarai tribe and is famed for its iconic cone-shaped traditional houses and deeply spiritual way of life. Spend a night in one of these ancient dwellings and share in the warmth of the local community—a true highlight of the trip.

Continue your journey eastward through the green hills and cooler climates of Ruteng, the land of mystical spider-web-shaped rice fields. In Bajawa, experience the island’s volcanic activity with a visit to hot springs and discover the heritage of the Ngada tribe in the traditional village of Bena. The road to Moni introduces you to Flores' serene coastlines and volcanic black-sand beaches, where you can stop and swim.

Cap your trip with a visit to Kelimutu National Park, where the famous three-colored crater lakes await at sunrise—an awe-inspiring natural phenomenon and a sacred site for the local Lio people. With diverse landscapes, colorful tribal traditions, and a sense of timelessness in every village, this Flores Overland Tour delivers an authentic, off-the-beaten-path experience that’s rich in culture, nature, and unforgettable memories.

Whether you’re a solo traveler, couple, or small group of explorers, this tour is your chance to discover the true soul of Flores in comfort and style—perfectly paced, thoughtfully curated, and locally guided.
