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.
