OVERVIEW
Ubud to Flores: Komodo Dragons, Beaches & Tribal Treks

Guided Small Group Adventures for 18 to Thirties

10 days / 9 nights | Indonesia

This is Bali and Flores like you’ve never seen them — stripped-back, soul-filled, and wildly unforgettable. Start with a few epic days in Bali to surf legendary breaks, chase waterfalls, and soak up laid-back island vibes. Then fly east to Flores, where the wild still wins. Sleep in a mountaintop village you can only reach on foot. Trek through ancient highlands, snorkel with manta rays, and kayak through turquoise waters guarded by real-life dragons. This is a short trip that packs in serious adventure.

ITINERARY
Tour image

Day 1 - Ubud
Welcome to Ubud, arguably the most famous city in Bali! Settle in and explore this funky town then meet your group for a welcome meeting this evening. But stick around because we’re heading out on our First Night Out! Get to know each other and Ubud a bit better.

Day 2 - Ubud
With seemingly never-ending things to do in Ubud, choose to spend it how you want! Choose between incredible local experiences like a Balinese Spiritual tour at Widya Guna Foundation, a cooking class at G for Good PKP Community, a bike tour through the rice terraces or an experience with a local family! The choice is yours!

Day 3 - Ubud/Labuan Bajo
We're off the gateway of Komodo National Park! Welcome to Labuan Bajo on the island of Flores. Arrive in the afternoon and enjoy the rest of the day to explore, chill on the beach and get ready for an epic adventure through the Komodo islands.

Day 4 - Labuan Bajo/Dintor
Venture inland this morning to Tado Village, full of beautiful rice terraces, and 15th generation descendants of immigrant Sulawesi ancestry who fled Islamic persecution in the 16th & 17th century. Join our local guide to hike up the mountain, about 1.5 km uphill then back. The views are well worth the effort so don’t forget your camera. Hike down, enjoy some lunch then continue on to Dintor Village for the night. We'll prep for our overnight trek to Waerebo Village that starts tomorrow morning.

Day 5 - Dintor/Waerebo
Today we trek into the jungle! A drive and a motorbike ride brings us to the starting point of the hike. We’re headed to the remote Waerebo Village, famous for its traditional circular and cone-shaped houses called Mbaru Niang. Trek through the tropical jungle and up hill for about 2-3 hours, with plenty of stops to rest. We’ll be greeted with a welcome ceremony by the local villagers, followed by lunch. In the afternoon, we’ll enjoy a little pick me up where we’ll learn to harvest coffee beans and prep them for our own drinking. Tonight we will sleep in a Mbaru Niang together. These accommodations are basic but offer an extremely unique opportunity to experience this beautiful and cozy village.

Day 6 - Waerebo/Labuan Bajo
Say goodbye to our friends in Waerebo Village and trek back to the place we started yesterday. Take a motorbike to meet our transport and luggage. Then drive back to Labuan Bajo for a much deserved rest.

Day 7 - Labuan Bajo/Komodo National Park
And today we’re off to the famous Komodo National Park! Walk to the harbour then board the boat. And yes! We are exploring Komodo by boat! The First stop-Kelor Island. We’ll take a short hike to an incredible view and then jump into kayaks to Strawberry Rock. Admire the incredible, picturesque, crystal-clear water then jump in to snorkel and watch the fish swim through the coral. After lunch back onboard, it’s off to our next island-Rinca Island. The trek on this island has one point… to spot the worlds largest lizard, the Komodo Dragon! Afterwards, enjoy relaxing on the boat for the rest of evening. Make sure not to miss the stellar sunset onboard as you watch thousands of flying foxes take flight in the colorful sky anchored at our third island, Padar.

Day 8 - Komodo National Park
No better way to start a day at sea than a beautiful sunrise. Trek up Padar Island and reach the top just in time for the colorful view. Back on the boat, we head to Long Beach for some chillin’, swimmin’ and kayakin’. Next stop-Manta Point. And yes.. those mantas! Jump in the water with a snorkel in hopes to see this magnificent (and giant) sea creature. Then to the last stop of the day, Sebayur Island. Here we’ll catch the sunset on a kayak. Then head to the beach for a bonfire and star gazing. Doesn’t get much better than this, huh?

Day 9 - Komodo National Park/Labuan Bajo
Last day on the boat so let’s make it count (don’t worry-we’ve got you covered!) Today will be epic- think snorkeling through the reefs, kayaking to the picture perfect Kanawa Island, and some final time to soak up life on the phinisi boat. This afternoon, we’ll dock back in Labuan Bajo, say goodbye to our boat crew and reunite with our suitcases. Take some time to relax in the hotel but not for long. Tonight, and our last night may I remind you, is our Big Night Out! One more time, we’ll hit the town together for a last hoorah! Join us at a beach bar, grab your drink of choice and celebrate together!

Day 10 - Labuan Bajo
Say goodbye to the many islands of Indonesia and depart at any time.
