Why this works

This packs in 2 bucket list experiences in one week: the hidden UNESCO village of Wae Rebo that transports you back in time, and the epic Komodo Islands.
The Wae Rebo experience is remote and is for people who don't mind roughing it out for a true authentic adventure. Start your journey by roughing it out at Wae Rebo and end it on a luxe Komodo boat trip.
You'll also see lesser known spots like the hidden caves of Labuan Bajo, and our fave - a tribal farm-to-table feast in Flores traditions.
