Komodo Odyssey | Journey Across Flores + Komodo, Indonesia
Not as far from us as Caribbean but equally beautiful, Indonesian Archipelago is an irresistible kaleidoscope of places filled with nature wonders. The count is endless here, so each trip we stand with difficult choices. This trip, dedicated to encounter deadly **Komodo Dragons** at their habitat of Indonesian Archipelago, however our feet and boat will take us much further - to three colored volcanic lakes, flying foxes and tribal villages. See our trips back in 2016 & 2017:
[https://vimeo.com/198788200](https://vimeo.com/198788200)
[https://vimeo.com/230811525](https://vimeo.com/230811525)
Here is one of our signature trails:
**Day 1 / Meeting in Jakarta for a flight to Flores.**
Transfer to the beautiful lodge at the steps of Kelimutu, rest and short hike in the nearby villages, overnight in lodge.
**Day 2 / Exploration of Kelimutu volcano**
You may be thinking you re dreaming but its all for real... The sunrise from peak of Kelimutu (1,639 mtrs) overlooking the caldera of three colored lake is nature wonder on its own, unwritten category. The color candy of lakes waters from blue to cold-steel grey, reflecting the early sun rays is mixed mere fogs and clouds...
Once we reach the peak for sunrise we will continue hike behind the volcano for few hours before we come back to the lodge.
**Day 3 / Cycling jungles of Kelimutu & tribal village of Moni**
Cycling in the nearby villages for half day, after lunch check out and leave to Ende, on the way visiting tribal village of Moni. Overnight in Ende.

The boat has a wonderful top deck for lounging, sunbathing, and offers great views of the island chains. In the morning, we will be passing uncounted islands. We will have lunch on the boat at the port of Rincca Island. In the early afternoon, we will enter the national park on Rinca and get our first views of the Komodo Dragons. We will do a trek through the grasslands, looking for the infamous dragons in their natural habitat. The impressive 10 feet long lizards hunt their prey by biting them once, and waiting for the infection to set in and cause death. After our exploration of the island, we will head by boat to dock for the evening in a bay surrounded by mangroves.
**Day 5 / Komodo Island - Chase the Dragon!!!**
We will visit the island of Komodo in the morning and take a trek on a jungle trail, chasing the dragons and an endless array of flora and fauna. We will get back on the boat for lunch and sail for an hour to a great afternoon of snorkeling in one of the most diverse underwater ecosystems in the world. The Coral Triangle stretches from Sulawesi to Papua and Flores. It is known for having the highest biodiversity of marine life on earth. We will spend the night in a quiet bay after snorkeling.
We will not even think about trying [this....](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZRT5EmcCDQ)
Later in the afternoon we will dock into the fisherman village to meet the locals and watch sunset from the top deck between two islands where thousandss of flying foxes (giant bats with doglike heads) arise from the mangroves for night feeding.
**Day 6 / Komodo – Labuan Bajo**
The boat heads back to Labuan Bajo for couple of hours we ll enjoy the breeze, blue waters and green islands. On the way we will stop by on crystal clear beaches for snorkelling with 2 mtrs mantas and enjoy last day of pirating.

Timor, Leste Go! | Journey Across East Timor (via Bali)
**Imagine a place where the sun rises over mist-wrapped mountains, the ocean glows electric turquoise**, and the only thing crowding the beach is a curious sea turtle. Welcome to Timor-Leste, the secret half-island paradise that time and mass tourism forgot.
Located 600 km north of Australia, this is **Southeast Asia’s wildest, youngest country**. The world’s newest democracy, born in 2002 after centuries of Portuguese spice traders, revolutionary spirit, and a hard-won fight for freedom. The scars of the past are still healing, but that only makes the beauty feel more raw, more real, more alive.
Here, Catholicism dances with ancient animist beliefs, Portuguese fades into melodic Tetum, and every smile feels like it’s been waiting just for you. Roads wind through coffee plantations and jungle-shrouded hills, then suddenly drop to idyllic white sand beaches where dolphins play just offshore.
Only 30 km across glittering straits lies **Atauro Island, a laidback jewel** with 9,000 souls, zero traffic lights, and some of the healthiest coral reefs on earth. Snorkel straight off the beach, hike volcanic ridges at sunrise, then kick back with a cold one while fishermen grill the day’s catch under the palms.
And that’s just the warm-up.
On this Trekkup, we’ll **chase sunrise from the summit of Mount Ramelau (the highest peak in Timor), wander forgotten coastal villages, swim in hidden lagoons**, and discover places most travelers will never hear about. No crowds. No resorts. Just pure, uncut tropical freedom and the friendliest welcome in Asia.
Ready? **Leste GO!**
**Day 1 :: Dili**
Arrive in Dili, complete immigration formalities, and check in at the hotel followed by a welcome lunch. In the afternoon we visit the vibrant Tais Market, then head to the impressive Cristo Rei statue (third tallest in the world) and the nearby 6-metre statue of Pope John Paul II. For a taste of local culture we can stop at a traditional cockfight. We end the day with sundowners and relaxed beach time at Areia Branca before dinner.
**DAY 2: HATUBUILICO – MAUBISSE**
After breakfast and hotel check-out, we depart for the highlands with panoramic views over Dili, the bay, and Atauro Island on the horizon. We pause at the serene WWII Memorial, then continue to the historic town of Aileu for lunch at a scenic vanilla farm. The drive continues through rolling green hills and coffee plantations until we reach charming Maubisse. In the evening a traditional welcome ceremony awaits, complete with warm local hospitality.
**DAY 3: MT. RAMELAU**
Early wake-up, and depart to the trailhead of Mount Ramelau (2,963 m), Timor-Leste’s highest peak. The steady 2 hr ascent brings us to the summit in time for a spectacular sunrise. Cheer up the sunrise with few selfies, descent and reaching the base by mid morning. Return to the guesthouse for breakfast and a quick refresh, then drive back toward Dili with a refreshing stop at Dokomali Falls – a hidden gem where clear mountain water cascades into a natural pool surrounded by lush jungle, perfect for a cool swim, and a light picnic before continuing to the capital. Overnight in Dili.
**DAY 4: ATAURO**
Morning transfer to the port and a scenic ride to Atauro Island. After settling in, we spend the day snorkelling over vibrant coral reefs and exploring the laid-back main village. Fresh seafood lunch, relaxed beach time, and the gentle rhythm of island life take over.
**DAY 5: ATAURO**
Breakfast at leisure, followed by a boat trip along the untouched western coast to snorkel at Atekry, Adara, and Iliana are some of the healthiest reefs in the region. Swim with tropical fish and possibly sea turtles, enjoy lunch on a quiet beach, and soak in the serene surroundings. In the late afternoon beachside bonfire, fresh grilled seafood, local music under an endless starry sky.
**DAY 6: DILI**
Morning boat back to the capital. Ease into the day with authentic Timorese coffee, warm sweet breads, and sasoru grilled corn. Free time for final souvenir shopping at the markets or one last swim. Final overnight in Dili.
**DAY 7: DEPARTURE TO BALI**
Breakfast and transfer to Dili airport for the short flight back to Bali and onward connections home. You may find yourself already planning your return before the plane even takes off.
**Level of difficulty:** Easy and relaxing.
**Activities:** Trekking, boating, swimming, sightseeing, snorkelling, optional diving.

Twin Green | Journey Across Sao Tome and Principe via Ghana
**Welcome to the unknown paradise!** From waterfalls in the middle of the jungle to banana-shaped beaches passing through a national park , these islands of the Gulf of Guinea boast of being one of the least visited places on the planet and of being that exotic destination and **Paradise that you thought you could only dream of**. It is the part of land closest to the center of the planet - coinciding with the passage of the Equator and very close to the zero meridian. Are you coming on a trip to a country so unusual that few manage to locate it on the map?
São Tomé marvels with their **Portuguese colonial mix**, beaches and the laid-back atmosphere in the Gulf of Guinea. To define themselves, Santotomenses use a very graphic expression, derived from Portuguese: they are leve-leve. That is, calm, relaxed. And it is that relaxation seems to preside over this country that is both the center and the end of the world.
**It is not a tourist destination at all,** despite how much it has to offer like wild postcard beaches. A very important portion of virgin forest, declared a Biosphere Reserve, with the Ôbo Natural Park as the main banner, numerous cocoa plantations or coffee (known as roças). A country with dazzling landscapes with incredible volcanic chimneys emerging in the middle of nowhere, a huge number of endemic animal and plant species, as well as others such as sea turtles, birds and whales, which are part of the objective of many nature lovers visiting the country.
The small country exhibits the traces of a troubled history that began when two Portuguese navigators landed in 1470 in this then deserted site. A story that is revealed to those who wander the streets of the capital (which is called, like the island, Santo Tomé).
The parallel architectures of this tiny city summarize the history of the country: some old wooden huts evoke the initial time, when the islands were populated by slaves brought from the mainland. Some colonial buildings with large wooden balconies recall the five centuries of colonization. Uniform, greyish apartment blocks hark back to the era of real socialism, from independence in 1975 to the political and economic liberalization of the early 1990s. Meanwhile, a few ultramodern buildings made of large glass point to the future.
The engine of the country's wealth and today constitutes one of its great cultural and tourist attractions: **las roças**. If it weren't for the insidious humidity, the visitor could have the sensation of landing on some sugar plantation in the Brazilian northeast: the same buildings with a colonial flavor, the same atmosphere of an old decayed empire. Also its train to transport the merchandise, as some old rails recall.
**The most incredible landscapes on this side of the equator**, with various reminiscences of films such as Jurassic Park, King Kong as well as others in which the jungle is the setting. To top it off with a tropical fruit market, canoes with freshly caught fish, the smiles of the happy people of the islands and a veritable swarm of children jumping into the river to play as if there were no tomorrow. São Tomé and Príncipe will fill many blank pages on your adventure notebook.
**MAY 24** Departure to Accra, connecting flight to STP.
**MAY 25** Lagoa Amelia hike 3hrs, Almada Negreiros, story of chocolate, Cacau Espace.
**MAY 26** Colonial rocas, past and present.
**MAY 27** Waterfall and channels crossing.
**MAY 28** Santana Islet, overnight at beach resort.
**MAY 29** Rolas Islet, departure to Accra.
**MAY 30** Relax by the pool and departure home.
**Activities:** jungle trekking, swimming, boating, sightseeing.
**Accommodation & meals:** 4 star comfy forest lodge + seaside eco-lodge, hotel in Ghana - double sharing. Most of (fine) meals included, meals on transfers (Ghana).
**Cost: AED 8370 AED** all incl. flights to Sao Tome from Accra (Ghana). Flights to Ghana from your location excluded. **Cost valid until MAY 20.**
Past this date please inquire about cost and availability.

* **Waitlist Responsibility:** If you're on the waitlist and no longer wish to attend, it’s your responsibility to remove your name. We assume that anyone on the waitlist still wants to join the session if a spot opens up.
* **First-Come, First-Serve Basis:** We ensure fairness by adhering to a first-come, first-serve system. Please do not ask for special treatment or last-minute slots outside of this.
**Note: Players may cancel without penalty up to 9 hours before the session. After this time, the session fee applies regardless of waitlist status. Please book and cancel responsibly to avoid disruptions for everyone involved.**
