Flores Tours & Trips
Ever fancied meeting actual Komodo dragons in the wild? You'll trek Rinca Island with a ranger (they're bigger than you think), snorkel with manta rays at Manta Point, swim at Pink Beach which is genuinely pink, watch sunrise from Padar Island's viewpoint, hike to Kelimutu's three colored lakes, explore Rangko Cave, and discover villages like Waerebo up in the clouds. Indonesia's wild side.

All in all it was a great trip. The organization was excellent, everything worked as expected - airport pickups, briefings, hotel accommodations, etc. Peter and Irene went out of their way to let us know in advance of every minor change in the trip itinerary. For us the highlights of the trip were kayaking, snorkeling and meeting Komodo dragons. It was the most luxurious camping/kayaking we ever experienced. Our guide (Matias) was amazing, guides in training (Lexie and Ciprianis ) were super helpful. The food was excellent (thank you, Yub), we would expect this quality in a good restaurant and certainly not on a camping trip. The support boat was very comfortable and always ready to come to the rescue (no rescuing was needed), thank you captain Cua. Our only critique is – the 5 days (4 nights) actual kayaking trip is too short. In our opinion a couple more days on the water would be perfect. Thanks for the great vacation. Yelena and Boris.

We had the most amazing trip with the crew from No Roads. They thought of every detail and took such great care to make our camp sites perfect, our meals delicious, and guide us on kayaks to beautiful snorkeling spots, and even to a mangrove island to see thousands of fruit bats - amazing! Everything was exactly as we hoped and had the best combination of relaxation and movement. Wish we had even longer! Thx so much to the sweet crew!
