Flores & Komodo Travel Guide
🎒 187 travelers
Western Flores done right: start in Labuan Bajo, do the Komodo archipelago cruise (2 nights / 3 days), then drive to Wae Rebo, the Pulau Mules coastline and Ruteng's spider-web rice fields before returning. Not a rushed east-to-west crossing — a route that fits real travel time. 7 days covers the essentials; 14 days adds depth. Traveler = the plan; Pro = operator detail, timing tricks and extra context.
