Flores Island
Flores is one of the most fascinating and beautiful islands in Indonesia. Long hidden in the shadows of its more famous neighbour Bali, Flores is finally emerging as a distinct destination in its own right. Flores is well-known for its adventure activities such as diving, eco-tours, and mountain climbing, which are interspersed with visits to prehistoric heritage sites, traditional villages, and cultural events.
Here, you can swim in pristine lakes and waterfalls, dive at one of the 50 spectacular dive sites, go kayaking among craggy coasts and mangrove shores, explore mysterious caves and be warmly welcomed by the island’s people in their rituals, dances and daily life. The changing colours of the water in Mount Kelimutu's crater lakes are another attraction on Flores Island. This is the reason why Flores Island has been able to bag the title of one of the most beautiful islands in Indonesia.
