Komodo not yet open/Kelimutu opened but closed again.
The news that all tourist spots reopened again was to good to be true :-(
There is a new date for Komodo NP which is 6 July and after a visitordisaster last Sunday for Kelimutu (too many visitors) they closed the park again until further notice.
I think it will last quite a while before everything really is back to normal again.
27 June 2020
Good news, part one! All tourist spots on Flores have reopened again.
However at the moment only local people and all those die hards who have stayed in Indonesia since the outbreak in March can enjoy Flores.
All other travelers from abroad still have to be patient untill Indonesia reopens her borders. A lot of rumours about the month/date of reopening. As soon this is clear I will let you know.
When traveling you probably will need to present a negative Covid-test.

Figures for Indonesia
42.762 (2339 fatalities)
Figures for NTT (=Nusa Tenggara Timur which includes its biggests islands of Adonara, Alor, Flores, Lembata, Pantar, Rote, Sawu, Solor, Sumba, and Timor)
108 (1 fatality)
The ratio for NTT is 20 per million inhabitants which is one of the lowest in the world.
Despite all kinds of rumors in the media about the reopening of Indonesia which vary fromn July up and untill the end of the year I strongly advise to check reliable and official websites only.

The website of Bali.com is a good source as well

But, please keep in mind that there still can be local regulations. At this moment overland traveling on Flores is only possible with a letter of permit from the government for each district separately.
COVID-19 situation in Indonesia early June. The darker the colour the more infections. Flores has one of the lowest figures in the country.

WELCOME TO
FLORES - INDONESIA!
Welcome to our paradise
FLORES is an island in the tropics south of the equator, belonging to the lesser Sunda Islands (Nusa Tenggara Timur) of Indonesia. The original name of Flores is Tandjoeng Bunga, Malay for flowercape. When the Portuguese came to the island they renamed it into Cabo de Flores and the Dutch shortened it into Flores which means flowers.
FLORES is mostly green, partly dry, mountainous and heavenly beautiful. Flores has everything when dreaming of a tropical island.
FLORES has some gorgeous touristic attractions like the prehistorically komodo dragons, the “Spielberg like” Kelimutu lakes, majestic volcanos like Inerie and Ebulobo and traditions we have almost forgotten in this hasty world. And much more.
Come and see the empty beaches, enjoy wonderful diving, adventurous trekkings, deserted islands, pristine forests, all colour lakes, hidden waterfalls, impressive ceremonies, traditional villages, awesome music, interesting ikat (woven cloth) and above all the welcoming people of Flores. Superb is the only word which fits them all.
You will be surprised by this warm and cool island.
EXTRA
INFO
This website is for information and anything you need for your holiday on Flores.
As I am not an agent I do not sell packages.
However, I will be happy to help you to compose a trip on Flores which suits you and I can find you a car with driver for a fair price. I am "working" together with drivers and guides who I know personally. No fee, no commission, everything without any profit. My mission is to help travelers and get the tourism on Flores on a higher level. Tourists happy with fair prices and good information, locals happy to get an income from tourism which is badly needed as Flores is one of the poorest islands of Indonesia.

People of Flores are awaiting you and will be proud to show you their island.
