Sebastian arranged a 14 days private tour on demand for us: we started the Flores Adventure tour in Maumere on April 25th and ended in Labuan Bajo on May 8th 2008 after an extension on Seraya Island and 2 extra snorkling excursions. Is was indeed an adventure and we enjoyed it very much, everything was excellently organised. We had the best guide (Arie) and driver (Julius) you could imagine. It was not a luxury tour as Flores is not yet a luxury destination like Bali but we always had the best accomodation and restaurants Flores can offer. We recommend this travel agency to everyone who likes good services for an honest price. Thank you very much Sebastian for giving us the best memories we could ever have of Flores!

excellent tour, would highly reccomend to anyone. Plenty to see including Water Buffalo, wild boar, monkeys, wild deer many exotic birds, dolphin, flying fish and of course the Komodo Dragon. Great snorkeling at Pink Beach amongst the coral and marine fish.
Mirror caves interesting but do not take part if you do not like bats or dark enclosed spaces, also no good if you are not able bodied as some of the caves very difficult to enter and exit.
The boat itself basic but an experience in itself....sleeping on deck with a mattress and blanket again do not go on these trips if you want 5**** accomodation on the boat, privacy and hot showers. The hotel is very clean and rooms modern again many steep steps to the rooms as it is built on the side of a cliff...the veiws are breathtaking, basic food again but adequate.
All in all we give this tour TOP MARKS for interest, cost,and value for money. The Tour Guide Sebastian (Bastian) is wonderful, friendly, and very knowledgable we will certainly take another of his tours on our return to Indonesia next year. We wish him all the best with his new company and highly recomend Komodo Flores Tours.
