When is the Best Time to Visit Flores?
We think the best time to visit the National Park and Flores is going to typically be April to October. This time is during the dry season and if you go to the National Park right after the rainy season, if is absolutely a beautiful color of green. As well, during these times there is usually a steady flow of that fresh ocean wind air coming from Australia and it is typically not as humid as the rainy season. We also recommend visiting during the rainy season of course, just make sure to be well prepared. Typically during the rainy season, it may rain every day for about 3-4 hours. As well, you may have a 2-3 day period when it keeps raining. The good thing about coming in the rainy season though is that everything is a beautiful color of green when the sun comes out. As far scuba diving, it is also a great time to see Manta Rays in the ocean between December through February.
How do I get to Flores?
Just like traveling anywhere, Traveling to Flores Indonesia can take a bit of planning ahead. The main airports to get to Flores, are from Jakarta or Bali airport. From those two airports, you can fly into the town of Labuan Bajo, which is the most western city on Flores and is considered the gateway to Komodo National Park. The airport in Labuan Bajo is currently going under a full renovation to become an International Airport, so soon, you will be able to fly from Kuala Lumpur or Singapore. As well, you can also take a ferry or a boat from the island of Bali. Those boats can take anywhere from 2-4 days depending on what company you use. We can help you set that up, if you are interested. Just contact us for that service.
