7 Day Flores Overland Komodo Tour offers international visitors an unforgettable multi-day expedition across the spectacular island of Flores. Departing smoothly upon your arrival in Ende, this seven-day journey bridges misty highland valleys, iconic traditional settlements, and pristine marine habitats.

Meanwhile, professional local guides and private vehicles ensure every segment of your cross-island road trip runs smoothly from start to finish. Although the adventure covers diverse regional terrain, comfortable hotel accommodations and well-planned boat cruises keep the overall pace relaxing and enjoyable.

Ultimately, this extended journey offers an authentic, immersive multi-day escape for adventurous global explorers.
About the 7 Day Flores Overland Tour
This 7 Day Flores Overland Tour is designed for travellers who want to explore Flores by road before discovering Komodo National Park by boat. The journey starts in Ende and continues through Moni, Riung, Bajawa, Ruteng, and Labuan Bajo. Along the route, visit traditional villages, volcanic lakes, local markets, waterfalls, rice terraces, and coastal areas. Therefore, you can experience the diverse landscapes and cultures of Flores in one continuous journey.
After reaching Labuan Bajo, the adventure moves onto the water. Cruise through Komodo National Park and visit Rinca Island, Komodo Island, Pink Beach, and Kalong Island. The combination of an overland Flores journey and a Komodo boat adventure makes this route ideal for travellers who want more than a short visit to Labuan Bajo. If you prefer a shorter itinerary, the 6 Day Flores Bajawa Komodo Tour offers a more compact route. Meanwhile, the 9 Day Flores Kelimutu Wae Rebo Komodo Tour gives you more time for Flores highlights.
