Tour Itinerary: 4 Days 3 Nights in Central Flores
Day 1: Arrival in Maumere – Wuring Village – Transfer to Moni
Your 4D3N Kelimutu tour begins with a warm welcome in Maumere, the largest town in East Flores. After a short city tour and a visit to the traditional Wuring fishing village, you’ll drive along the scenic coast and hills to the charming mountain town of Moni, your base for exploring Kelimutu lake
Day 2: Kelimutu Sunrise – Traditional Villages – Ende City Tour
Before dawn, start the highlight of your journey: a hike up Mount Kelimutu to witness the sunrise over its three colored crater lakes. The lakes—each with its own mythical meaning—change colors due to volcanic minerals and gases.
After Kelimutu, visit nearby traditional villages such as Saga or Wologai, known for their ancient homes and local weaving. End the day in Ende, where you’ll explore the local market and House of Bung Karno, where Indonesia’s first president was exiled.

Continue your journey west along Flores’ southern coast, stopping at Blue Stone Beach for a relaxing break. You’ll then head into the cool highlands of Bajawa, a cultural center of the Ngada people.

Day 4: Bena Traditional Village – Return to Ende or Extend Tour
On your final day, visit Bena Village, one of Flores’ most iconic traditional settlements. Learn about Ngada culture, ancestral shrines, and the unique cone-roofed houses that make this village so photogenic.
After the visit, you’ll be transferred back to Ende for your flight, or you can continue your Flores overland adventure toward Ruteng or Labuan Bajo. For more best experience, you can combine this tour with boat tour to komodo island and its called Flores Komodo Tour.
