Labuan Bajo-Dintor
Lembor - This morning, your guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in Labuan Bajo to start the half-day drive to Dintor on the south coast of Flores. Midway, you’ll reach Lembor, where you can either have lunch or take it to go.
Nanga Lili - From Lembor, you’ll proceed to Nangalili beach for a seaside picnic. Then, continue along the coastline (a slow and bumpy ride) to the small village of Dintor. You’ll spend the night at the Wae Rebo Lodge, nestled in a paddy field with views of the fields and the sea towards Mules Island. Dinner will be at the lodge.
Dintor-Wae Rebo
Wae Rebo Village - Today, visit the beautiful and remote village of Wae Rebo. Start with a short drive up the mountain’s lower slopes to the village of Denge, where you’ll hop on the back of a motorcycle for a 10-minute ride further up the mountain to post 1, the starting point for your 5 km hike to Wae Rebo. Follow a stone-laid path and then a well-trodden forest path to reach the village. Be prepared for a challenging uphill hike with sturdy hiking boots or walking shoes. Upon arrival at the charming village of Wae Rebo, you’ll be welcomed by the Wae Lu’u ritual, which requests permission and blessings from the village ancestors. Lunch will be in the village. The afternoon is free for further exploration, visiting local homes, learning about their customs and traditions, and enjoying the beauty of this amazing location. Overnight in one of Wae Rebo’s traditional cone-shaped homes, shared with other visitors.

Lingko Spider Web Rice Fields - If you wish, rise early to catch the beautiful sunrise. After breakfast, head back down the mountain to the lodge, where you can leave your main bag and freshen up before continuing your journey to Ruteng.
