There are daily flights from Denpasar/Bali to Maumere/Flores with Batavia Air or Merpati Air . The flight Denpasar - Maumere takes about two hours. From Jakarta or Surabaya there is an air connection to Maumere via Kupang or Denpasar. On Flores Island there are airports in Maumere, Larantuka, Ende, Ruteng and Labuan Bajo.

We glady book a flight from Bali to Flores (and vice versa) for our guests. Our staff member in Bali, Mrs. Ursula Sadi, books the flight directly from the airline company and gives the tickets to our guests on the airport or at the hotel in Bali against cash. The current charge for a ticket is 950.000 rp, but it varies constantly. We charge 50.000 rp per booking for the organisation of the tickets.

In conjunction with Tours we meet our guests at the airport or in Labuan Bajo and in this case we also book the outward flight from Denpasar to Labuan Bajo and the return flight from Maumere to Denpasar.

Maumere is a seaport and there are frequent ferry connections between Maumere and Surabaya, some of them via Makassar / Sulawesi. There is a ferry connection to Bali only every two weeks. The schedules of the ferries can vary and it is not common to reserve or buy tickets in advance.

The road conditions in Flores are - apart from the bigger towns like Maumere, Ende, Baja und Ruteng - very modest. Only a mostly paved street connects the East and the West of the island and it partly winds through the mountainous regions. Landslides and broken,damaged bridges are not uncommon during and after the time of the monsoons. A trip with a privatly chartered car (that makes you independent from the schedules of the busses) from Maumere to Labuan Bajo in the West takes at least two days.

The local public transport consists of little busses, minibusses and Bemos. The busses are often incredibly jam-packed, especially on the market-days. Minibusses are often quite comfortable.

The time of travel is shorter if you privatly charter a car with driver. There are no car rental agencies, but you can rent a car with driver whereupon the offer cannot be compared to the offers in Bali and the charges are accordingly higher. We gladly arrange a car with driver for you or organize your individual several-day island-trip or daytrips. For a short overview you can have a look at our offer of tours.
