Flores Private Multi-Day Cultural & Nature Exploration

Day 1

You will be picked-up at the hotel, then depart for Ruteng. On the way, you will stop at Cancar village to see "Lodok", a large expanse of rice fields in the shape of a giant spider's nest. And you will not find rice fields in the form of giant spider nests anywhere else on this earth, because this is very closely related to the tradition and culture of dividing cultivated land or dividing the customary land of the Manggarai tribe. Continuing the journey to Bajawa, you will pass the natural lake Ranamese, and where local people make local Arak from Lontar tree juice through a traditional-style fermentation and distillation process which can produce high alcohol content of up to 40% or 50%. Drive towards the cold city of Bajawa. If the weather is clear, on the way you can stop to take photos of the beautiful view of the Pyramid-shaped Inerie volcano. Check in at the selected hotel.

Day 2

Drive to Luba Traditional Village, Bena Traditional Village and Gurusina Traditional Village. During your visit to these traditional villages, you will be amazed by the unique, beautiful shape of the traditional Ngada houses and the very clean conditions of the traditional villages. In addition, you can see firsthand how local people produce sarongs, with original woven work by local residents using traditional looms, without using machines. You can also directly buy this woven Ikat from local residents for typical souvenirs from the Ngada tribe. After visiting traditional villages around Bajawa, then drive to natural hot springs, namely: Natural Hot Springs of Mala Nage or Natural Hot Springs of Mengeruda in Soa. Return to hotel for overnight.

Day 3

Drive to Blue Stone Beach, a beautiful beach on the southern part of Flores Island which has its own magic, where you can see stretches of volcanic sand along the beach and full of rocks which are blue in color due to the minerals contained in the stones. So is the reason that people named this beach "Blue Stone Beach". You can have fun, take selfies or swim at this beach. Then drive to Ende town for lunch. After lunch, continue the journey to Moni Village. On the way to Moni Village, you will stop at interesting places to take pictures, one of which is visiting the Wologai traditional village to witness traditional settlements and learn more about the culture and traditions of the Lio tribe in Flores. Drive to Moni village to check in at the selected hotel.
