Circuit Flores, archipel d'Alor et retour sur Bali?
by Wasp
This discussion is in French, the community’s main language.
Original post
Nous partons 4 semaines cet été pour l'Indonésie. Nous avons déjà visité JAVA/BALI/SULAWESI/RINCA/KOMODO. Cette année nous désirons explorer les îles à l'Est.
Nous atterrirons à MAUMERE (FLORES) via DJAKARTA.
Nous envisageons de faire FLORES, l'archipel d'ALOR, SUMBA, KOMODO, RINCA, SUMBAWA, LOMBOK (GILLI) et retour à BALI. Quelqu'un aurait-il des infos sur la manière d'organiser ce circuit surtout au niveau des moyens de transport et en particulier pour rejoindre ALOR de MAUMERE??
Est-ce que toutes ces îles valent le coût ??
Sinon quels sont les incontournables (endroits à visiter, playas, etc. . .) ??
Avez-vous des adresses de guesthouses sympas ??
Enfin, toutes les infos seront les bienvenues car au niveau des guides c'est un peu "light" hormis le petit futé (bof) et le lonely (en anglais). Merci d'avance car je suis un peu dans le brouillard pour l'organisation de ce circuit.
Tout ceci
Nous envisageons de faire FLORES, l'archipel d'ALOR, SUMBA, KOMODO, RINCA, SUMBAWA, LOMBOK (GILLI) et retour à BALI.
en seulement 4 semaines, c'est un peu irréaliste non ! Enfin à vous de voir.
Pour rejoindre l'archipel d'Alor, prennez un bus de Maumere pour Larantuka et d'ici vous pouvez prendre un ferry pour les îles d' Adonara, Lomblen et Alor. Pour rejoindre Alor au départ de Lomblen il faudra prendre un bemo de Lewoleba pour le village de Balauring et de là un ferry pour Alor (ville de Kalabahi).
Est-ce que toutes ces îles valent le coût ??
Pour avoir été à Flores, Alor et Lomblen je dirais que oui, elles valent le coup. L'île de Lomblen et d'Alor sont pas courru par les touristes (à part quelques routards) donc encore bien préservé et originale.

Je suis allé à Sumba en novembre dernier. Nous étions à l'ouest, au Sud de Waïkabukak, pratiquement pas de touristes. Les environs de Marosi sont magnifiques et les villages traditionnels valent réellement d'être découverts. La petite ville de Waïkabukak est pleine de gens aussi sympas que curieux ! Nous nous sommes vraiment sentis loin loin loin de tout pendant une semaine. Nous avions pris un vol de la Merpati qui desservait également Maumere et le Timor.

Merci à vous pour les infos. Effectivement, le programme est peut-être un peu trop "chargé", mais l'instant rien n'est défini et peut-être qu'on fera l'impasse sur LOMBOK ??? Pourriez-vous me donner les coordonnées des hébergements sympas que vous avez trouvé sur place (FLORES/ALOR/SUMBA/SUMBAWA/RINCA/KOMODO) ??? pour visiter les îles, quel moyen de transport faut-il privilégier ??? nous sommes 2 couples et pensons louer un Kijang avec chauffeur pour FLORES, est-ce que c'est une bonne idée et avez-vous des adresses éventuellement ???
salut!
La discussion à l'air d'être terminée depuis longtemps, mais je suis super intéressé par ce voyage.
ça ressemble beaucoup à ce que je voudrais organiser pour moi et ma copine.
Peux-tu me donner quelques infos et impressions sur le Alors - Flores?
Je devrais retourner sur kuala lumpur au bout de 3 semaine en indo, et j'envisage de commencer par Alor pour plonger et balader.
Es-tu aller au Timor? Je suis curieux de savoir si c'est bien, ou si c'est difficile d'être un peu autonome là-bas (transport, hotels..) Y a t' il des volcans visitables là-bas?
Merci d'avance.

Salut,
Finalement cet été, on a zappé Alor. C'était trop compliqué au niveau du transport (bateau 1X/sem) et un mois de vacances c'est court, surtout que les bagages de nos potes avaient été paumés entre Istanbul et Jakarta et qu'on avait déjà perdu du temps. Bref, on s'est limité à Flores (de Maumere à Labuanbajo) en transport local , bus ou Kijang et là on s'est vraiment fait plaisir, une croisière sur le Jingo Jango 4 jours-3 nuits dans le parc de Komodo (plongées-snorkeling génial) www.komodoaventure.fr/komodo_indonesie_plongees_croisieres_tarifs.html - le bateau pour nous 4 - un équipage top - puis retour sur Labuanbajo - vol Denpasar avec 2 jours à Ubud et fin du séjour sur les Gilli (rien d'extraordinaire)
Finalement je regrette qu'on ait pas passé + de temps à Flores, on a fait la traversée en 15 jours et c'est vraiment court. Pour les Gilli, j'ai été déçue et je préfère mille fois les Perhentians en Malaisie. Si tu as d'autres questions, n'hésites pas.
Bonjour,
Je sais que votre post date de plus d'un an mais vous pourriez peut être mn'aider. Je vois que vous avez fait la traversée de Flores sans guide, avec les transports locaux. ESt-ce compliqué? Auriez-vous une idée de budget ? (combien vous a coûté en tout vos 2 semaines à Flores). Je vous remercie d'avance!

17 jours c est pas gagne, parce que rien que pour y arriver et en partir ca va te prendre beaucoup de temps, a part si t as du bol avec les bateaux, et encore...
on peut s y deplacer en transports locaux et sans guides, et tu trouveras toujours ou dormir et de quoi manger, mais faut pas etre exigeant, alor ca commence a etre bien paume et a l ancienne, meme pour les standards indos.
Merci beaucoup pour tes infos j ai une autre question , quel est le moyen le plus rapide pour joindre flores ?!
On oublie les transports en bus et bateau , l avion c est possible ?!
Florès/ archipel d alor ?
As tu un guide à nous recommdé?!
Merci naps
ben les guides je pratique pas donc je peux pas t aider, desole.
l avion pour flores, maumere ou ende, et peut etre labuanbajo et larantuka (a verifier). va voir le site de lion air, et s ils n ont pas la destination que tu veux essaie garuda, mandala, sriwijaya, batavia et bouraq.
merpati avait un bon reseau, a defaut d etre fiable, mais il me semble qu ils ont ferme boutique (a verifier).
si t as peu de temps faut bien planifier, flores de bout en bout ca fait loin, et la trans flores est une mauvaise route de campagne avec beaucoup de tournants.
pour alor, y a un aeroport a kalabahi. en 2006 y avait des vols depuis bali, mais je ne sais pas ce qu il en est en 2012.
prevois un peu de sous, toutes ces destinations ne sont pas hyper frequentees et les vols risquent d etre cher.
de flores a alor je crains qu il n y ait que le bateau. la meilleure option c est la compagnie pelni, depuis larantuka, mais ils n ont que deux bateaux toutes les quinzaines. sinon il y a aussi des ferries, moins rapides mais legerement plus frequents.
c est tout un peu inchaa a l lah quoi :-)
bonjour
il y a des vols pour alor de kupang timor, et des vols maumere kupang ou denpasar kupang
en dehors de kilabahi et la petite kepa, les hebergements c est chez le chef ou le prof ou qqun d autre
moi je laisse 25000rp ou l equivalent oleh oleh! pour une nuit et repas
tres bon accueil des differents peuples d alor!
olivier
Merci Olivier pour tes infos😉
Mais dis moi le prix de 25000rps , c est dans quelle guest house ?!
je me suis mal exprimé: c est dans les villages chez le chef, l instituteur ou une famille; ce n est pas un prix demandé, c est une participation.en general l homme refuse et la mere de famille accepte dans la cuisine. tu peux encore mieux amener ou acheter l equivalent en sucre, sirop abc, poisson salé..etc
j ai de tres bons souvenirs des villages d alor; tu peux te faire amener sur un point haut puis rester sur les cretes a pied et redescendre par un autre coté en t arretant dans les petits villages

Bonjour, En 17 jours cela parait difficile de faire Alor et Florès sauf si vous aimez courir et prendre des taxis persos et avion évidemment cela est plus chère. Nous avons fait 15 jours sur Florès avec option petit budget. Avion de Denpasar à Mauméré/mauméré Moni (kélimutu)en bémo./Moni Riung en bémo avec changement à Ende/Riung Bajawa en bémo/.Bajawa Lubang Bajo en taxis que nous avons chartérisé avec des rencontres du petit hotel.Le taxis 'c'est entre 50 et 80 s la journée selon votre capacité à marchander et aussi selon le nb de touristes Le bémo :c'est sympa mais quelle galère.Il y a une heure de départ mais après tout es approximatif(tour de la ville, crevaisons, arrêt pour restauration etc, route défoncée sur Riung. Enfin c'est pas chèr et le contact avec les gens est garantie.Nous avons le temps de voir le paysage et de se détendre les jambes quand le bémo ne peu pas monter la côte(c'est arrivé 1 fois).Bon la dernière étape était trop longue et nous avons cracqué pour le taxi. A Riung le seul hotel propre et pas trop cher est celui des soeurs catoliques:attendre la fin de la messe et marchander la chambre( marchandage pour la forme 15 S la double avec déj).Pour la forme demander le prix aux autres passagers, cela vous evite une augmentation subtentielle décidée par le chauffeur à l'arrivee. LUBANG BAJO Sonia Hotel d'un vert que vous ne pouvez pas manquer à côté de l'hopital.Propre 20S avec dèj après apre mais gentil marchandage A lubang Bajo nous avons pris un bateau pour rentrer sur Lombok avec visite de Rinca et arrêt à Paulo Moyo.Il y des propositions un peu partout :c'est généralement 3 j 2 nuits et dormir sur le pont.Il y a avec Cabine.Nous avions réservez le bateau de France avant de partir(bateau en panne pendant 2 jours, ils nous ont balladé gratos pendant 2 jours pour aller faire du tubas). Nous avons finis sur les iles Gilli , c'est beau mais il y a un trop grand nb de touristes et évidemment :bazar à touristes=pris beaucoup plus cher. Notre grand regret , c'était de n'avoir qu'un mois et de n'avoir plus le temps pour rester à Kuta LOMBOK( pour la plage) .Rien à voir avec Kuta Bali. Le plus , c'est le tuba à Riung .Enfin bref s'il possibilité de chartériser le taxi cela vaut le coup et vous aurez quand même les crevaisons. Bonne ballade Hervé

Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on a 30-day itinerary for May/June 2027.
10 days in eastern Java (Malang, Bromo, waterfalls, Meru Beriti Park, Banyuwangi, and Ijen), a short transit in Ubud for a few days, then Flores before heading back to Jakarta.
We’ll spend 15 days in Flores (the classic route: Moni, Bajawa, Riung, Ruteng, ending in Labuan Bajo).
I’d love some firsthand feedback on flights to Maumere or Ende from Bali Denpasar. I know there are no direct routes and that you have to connect through Labuan Bajo or Timor (I think), which isn’t an issue in itself.
But I’ve read here and there that flights to these destinations can be delayed—or worse, canceled—and that it’s better to fly in and out of Labuan Bajo, which isn’t exactly ideal...
Thanks for any tips or experiences you can share!
I’d love to get some feedback on our itinerary—it’s probably pretty basic! This is our second trip to Asia and our first to Indonesia. We have three kids aged 20, 18, and 12. We land in Jakarta at 4 PM, spend 3 nights/2 days there, then take the train to Yogyakarta for 3 nights/2 days, followed by the train to Surabaya for 2 nights/1 day, then the train to Bromo for 1 day/1 night, a private driver to Ijen for 2 nights/2 days, then on to Bali (Ubud) for 4 nights/3 days, followed by Gili Air for 3 nights/2 days, Senggigi (Lombok) for 2 nights, and finally 5 nights in Kuta. I’m considering cutting the 2 nights in Senggigi to just keep Kuta and extend it to 7 nights. In Lombok, I’m not sure how to get around since I’m not comfortable with scooters... Your thoughts on all of this, and any advice, are more than welcome—don’t hesitate!
For those wondering why cities like Jakarta and Surabaya: we don’t often get the chance to visit big Asian cities, so we wanted to include that discovery in our trip. The trains between Jakarta and Yogyakarta, Surabaya and Probolinggo are booked. The return flight from Lombok to Jakarta is also set. Accommodations are booked but flexible (same for the trains).
Thanks!

Hi there,
I need some expert advice on these two destinations for a 15-day trip. We land in KL and plan to stay for 2 days before heading to Borneo and finishing with an island for snorkeling. For those who’ve been, what are your must-sees? We were thinking of spending the last 3 days on the Perhentian Islands, unless you’ve got another island to recommend near Borneo. Thanks for your tips and help!

Hi everyone,
Could you share your thoughts on my 3-week itinerary?
We’re a small group (family + friends) of 12 people, planning to leave around January 21, 2027.
Here’s my itinerary:
3 nights in Bangkok
4 nights in Chiang Mai
3 nights on Koh Samui
3 nights on Koh Phangan
4 nights in Krabi
4 nights in Phuket
I’m also open to any great tips you might have...
Thanks, everyone! Alain.
Hi! I’m planning a 15-day trip to Malaysia. The idea is to visit KL for 2 or 3 days, then Borneo, and I’m wondering what to do with the rest of the time. I’d like to finish with the Perhentian Islands... What do you think? Any tips or advice would be great—I’d really appreciate it!
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for addresses for guesthouses or, even better, houseboats or rafting houses on the River Kwai, between Kanchanaburi and Sangkhlaburi, to spend a few weeks contemplating this beautiful river.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi there,
we’re currently in Mai Chau and tomorrow we’re hitting the road back to Hanoi to head up toward Bac Ha and Sapa.
We haven’t really had a set plan since we arrived—we’ve already done the Halong Bay on land and by sea.
I’ve got 2 free days before heading to Bac Ha and Sapa.
Any tips?
Thanks, and looking forward to hearing from you.
Hi fellow travelers,
First trip to Vietnam.
We’ll be arriving in Ho Chi Minh City during Tet.
Is it complicated to find accommodation and get around during this period?
Any tips would be welcome.
Thanks for your replies.
Hey everyone,
Silly question—backpack or hard-shell suitcase for the Sepilok, Kinabatangan, Tioman, KL trip? I’m struggling to fit all my son’s and my stuff into the 70L backpack... and I’m thinking a suitcase would be easier, but I’m not sure if it’ll work for getting around.
Thanks! 🙂

Hi there,
I didn’t plan to return to Thailand this year, but my health conditions mean it’ll be the best place for me to stay between two trips to India. The tourism setup there is so well-organized that it’s the most "comfortable" country for a short visit. Thailand feels too sanitized for my taste, and there’s too much religion, Buddha, and the King, but it’s still the best option given how my health has been evolving. I’d considered two weeks in ThaTon for hiking, but I got too sick from the burn-offs during my trips to the mountains around Chiang Rai. So I’m not sure where to go this year. Definitely not the sea, touristy spots, or the mountains with burn-offs...
Thanks, friends, if you’ve got any suggestions.

Hello.
In 1996, we crossed Vietnam from Saigon to Hanoi by motorbike—Minsk bikes we bought in Saigon. I haven’t been back since, and it seems like a lot has changed.
- We’re heading to the south (well, the north and center) with the family in July-August (3 people).
- Is the road network more developed now? Back then, there was only National Route 1 from south to north. I’m thinking of renting a car this time (no motorbike with the family—though in ’96, they had a Jawa sidecar for sale, and we hesitated… maybe it’s for the best).
- Is Halong Bay really something to avoid because of overtourism? Even back then, it was pretty crowded. Is there a less touristy alternative?
- We’ll be traveling from Hanoi down to Danang (the only city we didn’t stop in back in ’96). Even though it’s a bit overhyped in a Chinese-tourist kind of way (from what I’ve read), we’re only going for the beach—pure relaxation for 7 days. The beaches are stunning, and I know the South China Sea is warm like coffee.
- Then, we’ll visit Hoi An, where I stopped in ’96. It was already popular with backpackers back then, but no glowing boats or all the touristy fuss!
- After that, Hue, where I have great memories—it’s a beautiful city.
- And also the nature around Ninh Binh, followed by 2-3 days in Hanoi.
That’s the plan. I’d love to hear any tips to avoid mass tourism, and if anyone’s done this before: - Is it possible to rent a car in Danang and drop it off in Hanoi?
Thanks, and long live the Nam! !

Hey everyone,
I’m over in East Borneo in mid-July.
I’m struggling to wrap up the end of my itinerary, even though it’s pretty straightforward (long but simple).
Last year, we did Malaysia (KL and the mainland + around Kuching).
Day 1 – Arrive in Kota Kinabalu early, stroll around town and hit the must-sees. Day 2 – Excursion to Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, snorkeling at 3 islands. Day 3 – Hike around Mount Kinabalu without summiting (450 per person, no way). Day 4 – Poring Hot Springs + evening flight to Sandakan. Day 5-6-7 – Kinabatangan River (still looking for the right guide). Day 8 – Sepilok for the orangutans, the Sun Bear Centre, and Rainforest Discovery Centre. Day 9 – Selingan, turtle island. Day 10 – Head to Semporna. Day 11-12-13-14 – Sipadan, Mabul, Kapalai. Day 15 – Bohey Dulang. Day 16 to Day 25: I’M STUCK.
I looked into Danum Valley, but for 3 days/2 nights, they’re quoting 650 € per person—come on, that’s ridiculous. I checked out a detour into Indonesia (still East Borneo), but I’m having trouble deciding what would be amazing. I read about Sangalaki + Kakaban (2 islands, 1 base) / Mahakam Delta - Kutai (orangutans and river) / Sungai Boh (Dayak Kayan) – jungle & culture. But honestly, I’m struggling to finalize this itinerary. If we venture that way, we’d head back to KK from Balikpapan.
What do you all think? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
For a 4-month stay in Egypt, I had ENORMOUS problems. The regulations are very bureaucratic and extremely nitpicky there. For a 4-month stay in the Philippines, I was wondering if the procedures are just as complicated? I’m bringing my cell phone with an eSIM. Should I choose a plan from Canada for use in the Philippines, or should I get a plan only once I arrive? After 30 days, do I renew with the Canadian provider I chose before leaving, or do I switch to a local company? Do I need to register my phone with the authorities in the Philippines? (That was the case in Egypt.) For the 3rd and 4th months, will it be just as simple—renewing with a Canadian or local provider—or should I expect problems?
Thanks for your opinions/answers! Marc Lamarre

Hello,
I’ll be in Malaysia with my wife, mainly in Langkawi and Penang for Christmas and New Year’s at the end of 2026.
If you’ve had the experience—and since I’ve read (though it’s not very clear) that these two islands get quite crowded during this period—would you recommend booking accommodation well in advance, or is it easy to find something on the spot?
Hotels or Airbnb?
Do you have any great tips for accommodation or any practical info to share?
We’ll be staying 5 to 7 days on each island.
Thanks in advance for your replies
Hi there. To make the most of Lake Toba, is it better to find accommodation on the lake’s shores (which one?) or on Samosir Island? Thanks for your tips!
Hi. Is it possible to take the train from Malacca to Ipoh? Thanks for your feedback.
Hi there,
We’re heading to Vietnam as a family on July 8th for a little over 3 weeks (north and center). We’ve only booked the first 3 nights in Hanoi, and nothing else after that. We like to decide things on the spot and go with the flow, without rushing everywhere. But I’m still a bit unsure: when heading down to the center (Hue), is it better to book the overnight trains in advance? We don’t want to take any flights while we’re there—just use the overnight train for the long trips. But I’m worried we won’t get seats if we buy the tickets on the spot, say, 2 days before. What do the experts here think? And which website can we use to book the tickets? Thanks in advance for your tips!
Hi everyone!
I’m heading back to Thailand in July 2026 with a stopover in Cambodia to visit the Angkor site.
After Angkor, I’ve booked a stay on Ko Chang island. Does anyone know if there are direct transport options from Cambodia to Ko Chang without having to go back through Bangkok? That would be amazing!!
I think there are, but I’d need more details!!
I went to Thailand in February 2025 and don’t remember having to apply for a visa—is that still the case now? And for Cambodia too?
Thanks so much!!!

Hello,
We’re a couple looking for a driver for 10 days to explore Northern Vietnam in April.
Best regards,
hi
I’ll be on a cruise on January 11, 2027. We’re stopping in Ho Chi Minh City (Phu My).
I’d love to see something other than the city—anyone have recommendations or a guide for 6-8 people with pickup at the port?
I’d really like to visit some rice paddies.

Hi there,
I’m spending 4 days in Kuala Lumpur.
Could you let me know what’s absolutely worth visiting and what’s not really worth the effort?
Any suggested itinerary?
Apart from Batu Caves, I don’t have many ideas...
I’m traveling with my partner and our 16-year-old son.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hi,
After our trip to China, we want to spend a week in the Philippines for some beach time and snorkeling.
We're looking for the best spot to settle in—nice beaches, great marine life, and short transfer times.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Hi there,
Does anyone know of a private transfer or taxi company that organizes transfers from the Sukhothai area to Chiang Mai? Our routes are Sukhothai-Lampang, Lampang-Chom Thong, and Chom Thong-Chiang Mai. My searches on Google Maps, 12Go, and others haven’t turned up much...
For our Bangkok-Sukhothai trips, I use a company I’ve already tried, but they don’t have a fleet available from Sukhothai and have to go through third-party companies—which, understandably, take their commission. This nearly doubles the prices...
There are four of us, and we’re not traveling light, so a minibus isn’t an option. ;-)
Thanks for your tips! DrSnuggle

Hello,
While traveling in Thailand, I’m looking for a Buddhist kumlai reed bracelet.
Does anyone know where I can find one?
In Bangkok, I visited a few temples but didn’t see any in the nearby shops.
If you have any ideas, I’d love to hear them! Have a great day! :-)
Hi there
My trip’s coming up, and I’m having a bit of trouble with three bus/minivan routes. Usually, I find everything at this time of year, but this time—yikes!
Sandakan → Sepilok: No app for this one—you just hop on bus #14 at the local terminal (pay cash on board). But where do I catch it, and where’s the stop??
Sandakan → Semporna: From what I’ve heard, it’s the Sida Express company (great name, right? 😄). Can’t book online, but apparently, you *have* to because there’s only one bus at 8 AM. Where do I board, and where does it drop me off?
Semporna → Tawau: Found this via AI—is it legit? No online booking, as far as I can tell. Minivans leave from a stop in the Jalan Hospital area, near the Milimewa supermarket, supposedly???? And when you arrive, does it drop you at **Sabindo Square** in Tawau?????
Thanks for any tips—I’m stuck!

Hi there,
we’ll be in Mai Chau in June and we’re thinking of heading to Sapa, but first spending a few days in Bac Ha to do some hiking and explore the area.
Is this a good idea for those who’ve been there?
How do you get there?
Thanks for your feedback.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Cédric.
Hi there,
I’m planning an itinerary and would love some feedback on whether it’s doable and if the number of days per destination is enough—or too much. I was also debating whether to add an extra night on an island or spend an extra night in Kampot to visit Kep or Battambang.
March 23: Arrival in Phnom Penh in the morning March 24: Phnom Penh March 25: Phnom Penh March 26: Depart for Kampot March 27: Kampot March 28: Depart for Battambang March 29: Battambang March 30: Tonlé SAP to Siem Reap March 31: Siem Reap April 1: Siem Reap April 2: Siem Reap April 3: Siem Reap April 4: Siem Reap April 5: Departure
Thanks for any suggestions or help!

Hi there,
Yesterday in the Thailand section, 100% of the new threads were just about beach destinations 😕...
So here’s the counterattack in the form of this photo thread, dedicated solely to the countryside: the locals, their livestock, fields, farms, rice paddies, small rivers, and agricultural machinery. If you’ve got any pictures that fit these categories, feel free to add them!
Comments welcome.
For each photo, I’ll (or you can) indicate the area where it was taken.

🙂 Hi everyone!
Hope you're all doing well! It's been a while since I last traveled, but I'm finally heading out again soon!
For those familiar with SOUTHEAST ASIA, I'm planning to leave in mid-June (with the trip ending at the latest in November), and I don’t have a precise idea of exact places or itineraries yet. The thing is, this period is usually the rainy season...
Any advice? I was thinking of Malaysia or Indonesia, like Sulawesi, for example (all countries and islands in Southeast Asia interest me except Bali).
Any recommendations? I’m doing my research online, but if anyone here has the time and knowledge, I’d love to hear from you.
Thanks everyone, take care and stay happy! ❤️
