Top Travel Indonesia Adventure Destinations

While many of us consider vacations as a time to relax, maybe enjoy some fine food and drinks and see some of the places that we had only previously read about, others look for a little more when planning a trip. Some of us want to get out and enjoy the outdoors or maybe the wilderness and spice up our vacation with a little bit of adventure that you can't find in your own backyard. Realizing this, we thought we'd take a look at some of the top travel destinations for those that are looking for excitement on their next adventure vacation!

Flores Island

Home of some of the most beautiful beaches anywhere on the planet, trips to Flores Island for adventure seekers often revolve around some of the gorgeous terrain that make up the mountainous regions of the island. Hiking through some of the primeval jungles of Maui can be awe-inspiring and can be the highlight of any trip to Indonesia. Outside of that, adventure-seekers will also be interested in the surfing that a Rote and Sumba vacation has to offer that brings in people from all over the world.

Komodo Islands

Located is located between the island of Sumbawa and Flores at the western tip of the Province of East Nusa Tenggara and is best known as the habitat of giant Monitor lizards know as Komodo Dragons. Komodo Island is part of the Komodo National Park and Marine reserve, a professionally managed world class nature park and diving destination - what more could an adventure traveler ask for than prehistoric dragons & excellent diving, all at the one destination - what ever you do, don't miss this!

Komodo Island is part of the Komodo Marine reserve with warm swift current diving a feature. The underwater world is teeming with a seemingly endless collage of fish species and coral formation. You will be pleasantly surprised at what you find and ponder the contrast of a barren monotone island above with the sea so full of color below the waterline. If you go to Komodo to see the Dragons, you definitely must dive there also - and vice versa. Enjoy.Komodo diving

Cunca Rami Water Falls

This might a little outdated, but Cunca Rami tours used to include a barrel and a whole lot of water. Now however, Cunca Rami Falls tours are more likely to include a trip to this beautiful locale where you can see these raging waters up close and take in stories of adventures of the past.

Bidadari Islands

The nice thing about a trip to The Bidadari Islands is that not only is this a great place to enjoy an adventurous vacation, but it can also be romantic. Try snorkeling off the coast and enjoy the wildlife and aquatic life that resides just under the crisp ocean layer on a honeymoon or just go with some friends and enjoy the trip.

Flores island

Flores island is a long, narrow mountainous island which stretches over 350 kilometers with dramatic volcanoes, mountain lakes and flora and fauna like no other island in the region. Even though 85% of its inhabitants are Roman Catholic, the island is still as ethnographically diverse as East Nusa Tenggara itself. The capital of Flores, Maumere, has direct daily flights to Kupang and Bali and is well serviced by ferries and the Pelni ships as well as several privately operated shipping lines.

Kelimutu Lake

The Three Colored Lakes of Keli Mutu are recognized as a natural wonder. The colors of the lakes have changed over the years, is it the changing chemical or biological composition of the craters' water causing this color change - ponder on it while you view one of Indonesia's most mysterious and dramatic sights. Flores Island exemplifies diversity more than any other region of East Nusa Tenggara, from the varying motifs of the Ikat weavings of Sikka, Manggari and Nggela to the spectacular Three Colored Lakes of Keli Mutu contrasting with the pristine coral gardens of the Seventeen Island National Reserve of Riung. Whether giant monitor lizard watching in Damu Bay or experiencing the dusk flight of the thousands of flying foxes on Ontoloe Island - Flores Island is as diverse as it is beautiful.

Flores island is the home to some of the most traditional ceremonies and rituals of both Catholic and Animalistic backgrounds. The breath taking ritual whip fighting of Manggari , the solemn Catholic Easter festival in Larantuka. Traditional boxing bouts called "sagi" or "etu" still take place on a regular basis in Bajawa inviting all to witness this age old sport which is again based on their traditional belief of survival of the fittest! In addition, relics and artifacts are to be found throughout the length and breadth of Flores Island, like the prehistoric bronze boat from the Dongsong era, called Dobo or Baobatung in a village near Maumere, where it is carefully kept by the people as an ancestral heirloom.

Labuanbajo, a traditional fishing village, lies at the extreme western part of Flores Island. It has recently developed as a local diving destination and serves as a jumping off point for the trip to Komodo Island. There are many other interesting places to visit around Labuanbajo, the petrified forest and several spectacular caves like Batu Cermin, Batu Susun and Waraloka Cave, antique ceramics have been found at the latter. Flores Island is also known as the habitat of giant Lizards know as Komodo Dragons which have been found in Manggarai, Riung, Ngada and the northern areas of Ende. The Komodo Dragon Varanus Komodoensis grows up to 4 metres in length and have roamed this area for the last half a million years. Enjoy Komodo Tours
