Ubud to Flores: Komodo Dragons, Beaches & Tribal Treks - 10 Days

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.

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!

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.

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.

No need to bring yours entire suitcase with you into the jungle overnight. Make sure to pack a small overnight bag with the few items you need tonight and tomorrow. You’ll be reunited with your main bags again tomorrow evening.

This evening, repack your smaller bag for the 3-day, 2-night Komodo National Park boat excursion. Your main luggage will be stored safely at the hotel in the Labuan Bajo.

The boat itinerary may shift depending on the season and weather.

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?

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!

Say goodbye to the many islands of Indonesia and depart at any time.
