Overview
Flores road trip 4-day program is an exclusive one-way journey designed to take you from Ende or Maumere to Labuan Bajo. We crafted this itinerary to explore the natural wonders of the Kelimutu Three-Color Lakes and visit traditional Flores villages that still uphold ancestral customs. Beyond witnessing the unique spider-web rice fields (Sawah Lingko) and the intricate process of Ikat weaving, you will also discover many hidden gems, including natural hot springs, traditional markets, and authentic cultural activities along the trans-Flores route.
Flores Roadtrip Itinerary
Day 1: Ende - Moni
We will pick you up at the airport or your hotel to begin your Flores road trip toward Moni. This two-hour scenic drive is the perfect introduction before we invite you to enter Jopu Traditional Village to learn about the noble traditions of the Lio tribe. You will witness the dedication of local weavers as they process cotton into exquisite Ikat fabrics by hand. After immersing yourself in the local culture, you can relax at your hotel to prepare for tomorrow’s dawn.
Day 2: Moni – Bajawa
Our day starts before dawn with a hike to the summit of Mount Kelimutu to capture the magical sunrise over the three-colored crater lakes. After breakfast and check-out, the Flores road trip continues toward Bajawa. Along the way, we will stop at Blue Stone Beach (Nanga Panda) for lunch with a unique coastal view. To conclude the day, we invite you to rejuvenate your body at the Menggeruda (Soa) natural hot springs before resting at your hotel in Bajawa.
Day 3: Bajawa - Ruteng
After breakfast, we will take you to enjoy the mountain panorama from the summit of Wolobobo Hill. The adventure continues with a gentle walk through a bamboo forest toward Bena Traditional Village, an iconic Ngada cultural center famous for its megalithic architecture. Before leaving Bajawa, we will stop at Aimere to witness the traditional distillation of Sopi, a local alcoholic drink made from palm trees. The third day ends in the cool highlands of Ruteng.
Day 4: Ruteng – Labuan Bajo
On our final day, we will mingle with the locals at the Ruteng Inpres Market, the largest traditional market in Flores. Next, we drive to Cancar to admire the Sawah Lingko, an agricultural masterpiece shaped like a spider web that reflects ancestral wisdom in land distribution. The journey then continues westward, marking the end of your meaningful Flores road trip as we arrive in Labuan Bajo.

Fabulous trip across Flores
We did the 4D/3N Tour on Flores with Filan, him taking us to Ruteng, Bajawa and Moni.
Filan is very friendly and a extremely funny guide. He always tries to give the best experience to his customers. We really enjoyed the authentic cooked meal at his place as well as the barbeque on the beach and the nice restaurants he took us. He additionally showed us beautiful beaches, a various of hot springs, the sunrise on the vulcano, an ancient village…
We had the best time on our adventure with Filan and highly recommand him as a unique person and warm hearted, flexible and interesting guide.
