Journey across Flores overland. ‘Flores’ is Portuguese for ‘flowers’, the island is named for its green and wild beauty. On this island, the attractive Mount Kelimutu rises with three volcanic lakes that constantly change color. High-quality ikat weaving is also found on this island. In this tour, we will take you to explore the spectacular island of Flores thoroughly.
You will arrive in Maumere, the cultural capital of the Island of Flores. In the first part of the trip, we will cross the island of Flores, from East to West. We will journey along the famous and unique road that crosses the island, known among the locals as the Transflores. At the Wai Oti airport, our native Flores guide will be waiting for you. With him and a driver, we will drive to Moni by private car. It will be about four hours, but we can make some stops on the way in the towns of Ledadero, Sikka and other interesting places.

Today we will get up early to see the sunrise at the top of the Kelimutu. It is a large volcano, which we access practically by car only until the last 20 minutes, which will have to walk in the fields to reach the volcano. Upon reaching the top, we can see 3 craters, which have become three lakes, of different colors. One black, one yellow and one a little purple, but the magnificent thing is that they change color, especially at dawn! Take a coat, because sometimes it is a bit cold while we wait for the sunrise.
After admiring this natural wonder, we head to Bajawa. In the vicinity of our hotel in Moni, we will be able to do some stops between the villages, where we can see how most of the women make Sarongs with the looms, in a totally traditional way. We can also pass by a waterfall in the surroundings of the town.
On the way to Bajawa we will stop in the capital of Flores, an immense bay open to the Indian Ocean, the city of Ende. There where we will have lunch, visit the market, etc. On the outskirts of Ende, we will stop to see a cove, called the Blue Stones Beach (although the stones found in the area are actually green). Where we will see dozens of workers, collecting stones and classifying them to later be exported, due to the beauty they represent for gardens in Hong Kong and Singapore.
