FLORES TRAVEL INFORMATION

On-Going Adventure Organization 
Dialogue with indigenous people. Tour guides will facilitate cultural dialogue. This is one of highlight beside visiting natural tourist object. Our guide could speak at least four ethnic languages in Flores (there are 11 ethnical languages in the island). Short Walks : To avoid "Jet-leg" due to long sitting in the bus we organize short walks range from 20m through maximum 1km. Spots for short walks is well selected i.e shady and worth enjoying surroundings. It is not included the photo or smoking stops.

Visits to elementary school : We let you know about education system in Indonesia by visiting one of elementary school in Flores. Tourists may donate some books or pens instead of giving such things or sweet candy at any place. Meeting the innocent school children is a memorable encounter with native Flores. It would be a forlorn moment as tourist must take leave.
