Find a Travel Companion
in Flores
Tri-colored volcanic lakes, ancient traditional villages hidden in cloud forest, and one of the world's most spectacular road trips across a wild Indonesian island.
Travel better in Flores with the right person
Split costs
A solo traveller in Flores spends about ~$20–45 USD a day. Accommodation, transport, guided tours and day trips all cost less split two ways.
Stay safer
A travel companion means someone knows your plans, can help navigate emergencies, and makes you less of a target in unfamiliar areas of Flores.
Go deeper
The best experiences in Flores (the off-menu restaurant, the dawn hike, the local's favourite spot) are found with a curious companion, not a guidebook.
Matched by style

Worth agreeing on before you meet
Respect Local Customs
Flores has diverse ethnic groups (Lio, Ngada, Manggarai, Sikka) each with distinct traditions. Ask before photographing people or entering traditional villages. Dress modestly, as most communities are devoutly Catholic with animist traditions.
Leave No Trace
Flores' environment is fragile and waste management is limited. Pack out all rubbish, especially on the Wae Rebo trek and at Kelimutu. Bring a reusable water bottle and water purification tablets to reduce plastic waste.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Flores travel guide.
