Komodo Island, Dragons & Hill Tribes of Flores

Our Komodo Island Tour is perfect for anyone looking for a wildlife adventure holiday in Indonesia. If you are looking for a real magical getaway and a walking experience, then there is nothing better than a trip to Flores and in particular Wae Rebo. Flores is one of the most stunning Indonesian Islands with a more rustic and rawer feel to it. The people are more laid back like in the Caribbean and the similarities don’t stop there. Tin corrugated iron roofs and the colorful hop on- hop off minibusses, that the locals use as transportation, are all that you would expect in the West Indies rather than an Indonesian Island.

The highlight of this Komodo Island Tour is the trek up to Wae Rebo, an old Manggarainan village. However, the journey and overnight in Denge is also an adventure itself. The day ending with dinner being served on your homestay porch overlooking rice fields, the sea, and the stunning Mules Island in the distance.

The next day’s trek to Wae Rebo (suitable for all) takes you through the forest and up into the clouds. Once you arrive you announce yourself by sounding the bamboo clacker before being welcomed by the village chief and sitting down to lunch. You can then immerse yourself in local life with the highlight being an overnight stay in a ‘Mbaru Niang’, a traditional circular coned shaped house.

Spending time on the water, exploring the regions, hidden beaches and then discovering the prehistoric Komodo dragons is a wildlife lover’s dream. The National Parks in the region are discoverable by boat and are simply stunning, the beaches are some of the very best in the world, but quiet and private as there are still not too many visitors to this magical area of Indonesia.

Wae Rebo

Denge to Wae Rebo

The day starts with a short drive to where the trek to the majestic Wae Rebo village begins. A Japanese photographer was the first foreigner, who found the village back in 1992. Wae Rebo sits in a valley surrounded by a virgin forest. The trek takes you along stone laid paths and woodland before flattening out, as you reach the incredible traditional treetop village, which will be your home for the night. The trek takes approximately 4 hours and is 9km long, and it is so well worth it, as you get to spend an afternoon and evening in this tribal village.
