Flores is a part of the Sundanese Island and are located
East of Komodo. The island has been influenced by many
foreigners. for centuries their harbor was a meeting
place for ships doing business in import / export. The
majority of the populations (90% of 1 mill people) are
Catholics after the missionaries, but previous they were
a mix of Hindus and Moslems.
The infra structure are better than previous years and
more tourists are visiting these islands. On the western
side of Flores is Labuhan Bajo. This is the best place
to explore the islands of Komodo and Rinca. The capital
– Maumere – is located in the centre of Flore and is
less visited. One of the main attractions of Central
Flores is Kelimutu and the 3-colores crater lakes. The
lakes are just divided by small crests and the colors of
the lakes are changing all the time. A unique experience
is a 3days / 2 nights expedition to this area. Have a
look further under Nick Tours in this area.
