2025: A Year of Meaningful Travel as We Welcome 2026

Two years after we established the company in January 2023 with a tagline Value Your Holiday. We have committed to guide all our travelers who hire us as their travel partners to the concept of community-based tourism that we aim to value the involvement of locals to take the bigger part of the service in order to achieve our vision of sustainable tourism.

The number of travelers who spent their holiday in Flores and Komodo with Flores Traveler increased 60% from the previous year 2024. In 2024 we had a total of 64 travelers divided into 26 groups from European countries and some from USA, meanwhile in 2025 we had 90 travelers divided in 27 groups who were also dominantly from European countries, USA, and Australia. You can see the list below; 

  1. Belgium: 9 travelers
  2. Germany: 8 travelers
  3. Australia: 8 travelers
  4. France:  31 travelers
  5. Netherland: 12 travelers
  6. UK: 9 travelers
  7. USA: 4 travelers
  8. Latvia:  3 travelers
  9. Poland: 2 travelers
  10. Italy: 4 travelers

The data shows you clearly that France travelers were our top customers of 31  and then 12 travelers from the Netherlands in second place, and followed by UK and Belgium on top three with 9 travelers. 

We have proudly welcomed new visitors from our neighbor country Australia with 8 travelers who came here in Flores to do trekking and hiking tours that they highly recommended. You can see the trip report here.

Most of these travelers who came to Flores loved to experience the authenticity of the island that is the true gem of the country which they expected to see.

“Having a true authentic Flores experience. Meeting so many different local people and seeing the real Flores. Not just a tourist show”, said Bram M. (Belgium) who came to Flores for 5d4n Labuan Bajo Countryside Tour in August 2025.

Best Memories in 2025

We have a wonderful time to flash back from our 2025 journey where you might be interested in being part of us to see these unforgettable memories. 

Since we committed to organize a private tour in Flores and Komodo by providing these two major packages, private tour to Komodo National Park and Flores Overland Tour, we successfully tailored a tour program that met the travelers’ need and interest individually or group based. For instance, when we started the correspondence with our customers Damien Joly who wished to visit school during the trip to support his daughter’s education and at the end he and his wife have their say after the 8-day trip in Flores 

“The highlight of the trip is the visit to the school and the 5 km trekking in the jungle!” Said Damien after exploring Flores with his family of three in October 2025.

He admired the visit to school in Ruteng where his daughter (8) could have the opportunity to learn a new thing while traveling.

in 2025, we successfully launched a new adventure tour that is located in Ruteng which is the longest jungle trek in Flores. We were so happy we have had two different groups from Latvia and Netherland who chose this program during their stay in Labuan Bajo after exploring Komodo National Park as they wanted to see the insight of Labuan Bajo beyond Komodo.

We couldn’t have made this happen without the tremendous support of the Tourist Guide Association of Indonesia in Ruteng who initiated the opening of the trek in 2023. 

We are so thankful to the local community in Colol, Rana Mese District, East Manggarai Regency who have played an important role in making this jungle trek into reality. Every Flores Travelers customers who will choose this program in the coming year will be guided by a local guide from the village and more than that you will also try the local cuisines from the village to experience more of the local taste.

Last but not least, we want to express our deepest gratitude to all travelers, business partners, and all vendors that we cannot mention the name one by one but their countless contributions are the reasons why we still exist till now and we promise to welcome 2026 in better shape and more committed in order to Value Your Holiday!

Now, enjoy some of our favorite photographs during the trip with our valued travelers in 2025.

It’s your turn now to plan the next trip with us!
