Frequently Ask Questions (FAQ's)

Where is Flores & Komodo Island Located?

Flores Island and Komodo Island are located in East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia.

  • Flores Island is one of the Lesser Sunda Islands, east of Bali and west of Timor. Its main gateway town is Labuan Bajo, which is also the starting point for most Komodo tours. Flores is famous for its unique culture, traditional villages, volcanic landscapes, and the stunning Kelimutu Crater Lakes.
  • Komodo Island lies just off the western coast of Flores, inside the Komodo National Park. It is world-renowned as the natural habitat of the Komodo dragon, the largest lizard on Earth. The island is also surrounded by rich marine life, coral reefs, and beautiful beaches.

Both islands are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Komodo National Park, making them one of the most extraordinary destinations in Indonesia.

An Open Trip is a shared tour package where individual travelers or small groups join together on the same boat or tour program. Instead of booking a private trip, you share the cost with other participants.

This type of trip is perfect for:

  • Solo travelers who want to meet new people.
  • Couples or small groups looking for a budget-friendly option.
  • Anyone who wants to enjoy the Komodo Islands and Flores with fellow travelers.

Benefits of Open Trip:

  • Affordable price – you split the costs with others.
  • Fixed schedule – departure dates are already set.

A Private Trip is a customized tour package designed exclusively for you, your family, or your group. Unlike an open trip, you do not share the boat, guide, or itinerary with other travelers.

This type of trip is ideal for:

  • Families who want comfort and privacy.
  • Groups of friends who prefer to travel together.
  • Honeymooners or couples seeking a more intimate experience.
