Flores Destination
Travel in Flores is cheaper. That is the main point that Travelers must keep in their mind. Most Travelers only know about Bali and don’t know well about Flores. The reason is the problems to reach FLORES in the past, but last 5 years, FLORES has good transportation and infrastructure to support Tourism and Travel.
Flores is now easy to find and visit by Plain, Boat (Ship) and BUS. Because of Archipelago Island, Ship is very popular between the three kinds of transportation. Air transportation has lower frequency schedule than ship.
Ship/Boat Transportation
Any district in Southeast (NUSA TENGGARA TIMUR) has their own harbor so there is no problem if you want to visit any district by ship or to reach others islands or district using ship. There are PELNI Transportations with normal frequency with any harbor in Southeast Island (NUSA TENGGARA TIMUR). Popular Destination is Kupang (the capital of NUSA TENGGARA TIMUR), East Flores (Larantuka), Maumere, Ende and Manggarai (located in Flores). If you want to reach others island in NUSA TENGGARA TIMUR, FERRY (Official Transportation), Private and Rental Boat is available there.
Air Transportation
In Nusa Tenggara Timur; there are some airports that support with Big Planes. In Flores, you can reach it via WAIOTI in MAUMERE and ENDE, in TIMOR Island, KUPANG airport is the biggest from others in NTT.
Land Transportation
I don’t recommend Land transportation to reach NTT because of the road track, taken longer time, and tired otherwise if you want to see any place in there and have many times in FLORES, you might choose land transportation. I don’t recommend bus transportation if you bring many things and packages, for elder travelers and babies.
