Flores holidays

Flores is for the adventurous. The west coast is a launching point for tours of Komodo National Park but the rest of the island is little visited, and it yields thrilling cultural discovery with every step. Our Flores holidays are typically combined with other islands, but the vibe here is very much ‘off the beaten track’, and then a little bit further off it still. Unusually for Indonesia, Flores is majority Catholic, but animist beliefs flourish here, too. On our tours you’ll visit a number of small villages that see almost no tourism, staying in locally owned guest houses and eating in traditional warung restaurants, so that every rupiah you spend goes directly into the local economy. You can wander busy markets, watch ikat weavers at their looms, perhaps do some snorkelling off the coast, and generally enjoy a look at life well beyond the typical tourism route in Indonesia.
