The stages of your journey
Highlights
Day-by-day itinerary
Flight to Flores: First Steps on the Island
Early in the morning, transfer to the airport for your flight to Flores Island. Upon arrival in Maumere, personalized welcome and transfer to your hotel. Enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure to rest or start exploring the surrounding area.
Hiking on Mount Egon: Panorama and Local Traditions
Florès → Gunung Egon
Set out early in the morning to reach Mount Egon, one of the most emblematic active volcanoes in Flores. A beautiful hike will take you to the summit, where you will enjoy a spectacular panorama and observe the fumaroles of the crater.
On the way down, stop at the traditional village of Blidit, nestled at the foot of the volcano.
Return to your hotel for a free afternoon, ideal for relaxing on the nearby beach.
Hiking time of approximately 3h30
Route to Moni: cultural immersion and Kelimutu landscapes
Gunung Egon → Moni
In the morning, departure for Moni village, located at the foot of the majestic Kelimutu massif. On the way, stop at the village of Jopu to visit a traditional weaving workshop and an old Portuguese church.
In the afternoon, discover a traditional village of the Lio tribes, where stilt houses protect inhabitants from animals. You will have the opportunity to enter a traditional house before continuing your journey to Moni, where you will arrive at the end of the day.
Sunrise over Kelimutu and discovery of traditional villages
Before dawn, transfer to Mount Kelimutu for a gentle hike leading to the summit of the massif. You will witness an unforgettable moment: the sunrise illuminating the three crater lakes with contrasting colors, an almost surreal spectacle.
Back at the village of Moni, enjoy a hearty breakfast before leaving for a beautiful walk of about 1h30 through several villages renowned for their traditional weaving.
Drive then to Ende, with a stop at the fruit market in Nduaria and the Kolorango waterfall. Lunch in a seafood restaurant by the sea.

Snorkeling at the 17 Islands and Route to Bajawa
Ascent of Inerie Volcano and Route to Ruteng
Late at night, departure for the village of Watumeze (*1 100 m*), starting point for the ascent of Inerie volcano), one of the most emblematic of Île de Flores thanks to its impressive crater. You first cross a landscape of bamboo houses, then a meadow dotted with volcanic rocks. Around 1 810 m altitude, the forest gives way to rocky and steep terrain.
The well-marked trail leads you safely to the crater ridge. For the most motivated, an additional twenty minutes allows you to reach the true summit and tour the crater. From there, the 360° panorama over the entire region is breathtaking, as is the impressive circumference of the crater.
