Detailed Reviews Reviews order informed by descriptiveness of user-identified themes such as cleanliness, atmosphere, general tips and location 2023 • FamilyWe had an awesome day out with the crew from Bintang tours. The guide and boat crew were incredibly helpful and easy to chat with. No mantas but lots of Komodo Dragons and heaps of huge turtles at the final snorkelling site ensured that the day ended on a high note.

It gives you a taste of Flores in a very short amount of time for the time-constrained. We first stopped at Padar Island which honestly is a bit overcrowded at the very early stages of the morning; however, we got there at the tail end of tourists climbing down the mountain and had the mountain pretty much to ourselves. The size of our group was perfect about 15 people max whereas some tours had upwards of 40 on each boat. The pink beach, in the beginning, was a nice warm-up to the snorkeling that occupied the second half of the tour after lunch. The Komodo dragons were very fun to see, and I thought that was going to be my favorite part of the tour. But my actual favorite was getting to see giant manta rays and stunning coral later on. I highly recommend this tours for nature lovers that are short on June 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Whatcan I say, I like vacationing in this little city. But this time around we visit Wae Rebo, the UNESCO World Heritage Village that took 9 hours to get t The traditional village of Wae Rebo in the district of Manggarai on the island of Flores, East Nusatenggara, has received the Top Award of Excellence from UNESCO in the 2012 UNESCO Asia Pacific Heritage Awards, announced in Bangkok on 27 August 2012. This small and isolated village was recognized for its rebuilding of the traditional Mbaru Niang traditional house based on the spirit of community cooperation towards a sustainable tradition, while at the same time improving its village welfare. Wae Rebo is a small, very out of the way village. Situated on around 1,100 meters above sea level and approximately 3 - 4 hour travel by foot from Denge Village. Wae Rebo is completely surrounded by panoramic mountains and the dense Todo forest. This tropical forest is rich in vegetation, where you will find orchids, different types of ferns and hear the chirping of many songbirds. There is also no mobile coverage in this village, and the electricity is only available from 6 to 10 pm. The air is relatively cold, especially in the dry season, so don’t forget to bring your jacket if you’re planning to visit the village. Founder of the village and, therefore, their main ancestor who built the village some 100 years ago, was a man called Empu Maro. Today, the inhabitants are his 18th generation descendants. Wae Rebo’s main characteristics are their unique houses, which they call Mbaru Niang that are tall and conical in shape and are completely covered in lontar thatch from its rooftop down to the ground. It appears that at one time such kind of houses were quite common to the region. But today, it is only this village that continues to maintain the typical Manggarai traditional house, without which these unique houses would have been completely fazed out. The house has five levels, each level designated for a specific purpose. The first level , called lutur or tent, are the living quarters of the extended family. The second level, called lobo, or attic, is set aside to store food and goods, the third level called lentar is to store seeds for the next harvest, the fourth level called lempa rae is reserved for food stocks in case of draught, and the fifth and top level, called hekang kode, which is held most sacred, is to place offerings for the ancestors. One special ceremonial house is the community building where members of the entire clan gather for ceremonies and rituals. They are predominantly Catholic but still adhere to old beliefs. In this house are stored the sacred heirloom of drums and gongs. With a small population of around 1,200 inhabitants only, the village comprises 7 houses. The staple diet of villagers is cassava and maize, but around the village they plant coffee, vanilla, and cinnamon which they sell in the market, located some 15 km. away from the village. Lately, however, Wae Rebo has grown in popularity as a tourist destination for international ecotourism enthusiasts, and this has added to the economic welfare of the village. The people of Wae Rebo warmly welcome visitors who wish to see their village and experience their simple traditional life.

Want To Visit Wae Rebo Traditional Village In Flores, Indonesia? Wae Rebo Village in Flores is one of those places in Indonesia that I truly cannot believe it’s real. A fairytale village nestled in the mountains of Flores Island, Wae Rebo is typically visited by 2-day/1-night overnight trips from Labuan Bajo, the port city of Flores where travelers dock after doing a boat tour of Komodo National Park. Keep reading for EVERYTHING you need to know about visiting Wae Rebo Traditional Village in Flores, Indonesia in 2023! ⤵️ Wae Rebo Traditional Village. The History Of Wae Rebo Village According to the oral history of the Manggarai Tribe, of which the people of Wae Rebo belong, 18 generations ago a tribe leader had a vision to lead his people into the mountains of Flores. From this vision, they built Wae Rebo, a village so remote that there are no roads that lead there. Even today after it’s become a massive tourist attraction on the island, you need to hike hours to reach the village. Facts About Wae Rebo Village ✔️ The iconic cone-shaped houses at Wae Rebo are called “Mbaru Niang”, which loosely translates to “Drum House”. ✔️ Each Mbaru Niang hut can house up to 8 families. ✔️ There are 6 main cultures on Flores Island, of which the people of Wae Rebo belong to the Manggarai Tribe. ✔️ Tourists have only been welcome at Wae Rebo since 1997, and the Mbaru Houses were only renovated to meet the massive resulting tourism demand in 2008 – So, while Wae Rebo isn’t necessarily an unknown attraction, it’s a relatively new experience! ✔️ Wae Rebo is currently inhabited by only 1,200 people ✔️ At 1,100 meters above sea level, Wae Rebo is one of the highest villages in Indonesia. We drove scooters to Wae Rebo from Labuan Bajo, and it was an absolutely unhinged insane drive! I recommend using a tour service that has a car. How To Get To Wae Rebo Wae Rebo Traditional Village is located around 110 KM from Labuan Bajo, which is the port city for the island of Flores that most tourists fly into from the much more popular island of Bali. While Google Maps says the drive is hours, it’s not taking into account that the road on the second half of the trip isn’t a road at all – more like a riverbed of stones 😭. Because of the road’s condition, the second half of the trip was incredibly slow-going! 👉 If you’re taking a tour that includes 4-wheel drive vehicles, you’ll have an easier time of it than we did on scooters. When we did the drive on scooters it took 6 hours, including a stop for lunch. If you go quickly with no stops you could do it in around 4-5 hours. Because the drive is long and the days are quite short sunset by 6 PM, Wae Rebo is typically visited as a 2-day/1-night trip from Labuan Bajo, where you stay overnight in the traditional villages as a homestay. 👉 I recommend visiting Wae Rebo on a 2-day/1-night trip because in addition to the looooong drive, you also need to trek depending on your speed, up to get to the village. The total transportation time to reach Wae Rebo from Labuan Bajo is more like 6-8 hours each way, depending on your hiking and driving speed. It’s a bit too much travel to do all in one day, but if you time it right as an overnight trip you can get to Wae Rebo in time to see both sunset and sunrise, which is when the village is as its most beautiful. Do You Need A Tour To Visit Wae Rebo? Yes – due to the tourist mafia more on that later! running the traditional village, you either need to use a tour service or hire a local guide yourself. It’s very important that if you choose to hire a local guide independent of a tour service it’s a guide from Wae Rebo village or the closest city, Ruteng. This is because the locals are very territorial about the tourism industry surrounding Wae Rebo, “local” doesn’t just mean someone from Flores! 🚗 Best Tours Of Wae Rebo Traditional Village 2-Day/1-Night Tour From Labuan Bajo 🏆 All Around BEST Wae Rebo Tour ✔️ Includes All Transportation From Labuan Bajo✔️ 2-Day/1-Night Package With Tour Guide ✔️ Includes Entrance Fee To The Village✔️ Includes All Meals 6-Day Flores Overland Tour 🚗 6-Day/5-Night All-Inclusive Flores Overland Tour ✔️ Includes All Transportation + Accommodations + Meals✔️ Visit Kelimutu Tri-Color Lake, Bajawa Traditional Villages, & Wae Rebo✔️ Private Tour 💡 Benefit Of Taking A Tour! If you take a tour you’ll have a proper car with AC, which is a much nicer ride than taking the public bus or driving a scooter there yourself. 🛵 Driving Scooters To Wae Rebo Self-Guided SO – If you have a local friend from Rutang or Wae Rebo, not just Flores, or if you’re just insane, you can do what we did and drive yourself to Wae Rebo. We did the unhinged 5-hour drive over the bumpiest roads, hairpin turns, through running rivers, and 6-inch-deep-mud which my scooter got stuck in and I had to be pushed out!, all while avoiding wild cows and kids chasing our scooters down for cash. I was still learning how to drive my scooter when we did this, and the crazy road conditions as we got closer to Wae Rebo almost made me miss the traffic in Bali! 🚌 Taking A Bus To Ruteng Self-Guided You can also take the daily bus from Labuan Bajo to Ruteng. The bus has to be booked in person, and typically doesn’t have AC and gets very crowded. From Ruteng you can get a motor scooter taxi where you hop on someone’s scooter to the start of the hike. From here, you will have to hire a local guide from the village to reach Wae Rebo. 💡 Tip Since the bus from Ruteng to/from Labuan Bajo only runs once a day, you might have to spend an extra night in Ruteng to be able to catch one going back. About The Wae Rebo Village “Mafia” The reason you need a tour or local guide to go to Wae Rebo is that, like many other spots in Indonesia, its tourism is run by a form of local “mafia” that makes sure – sometimes by force – that the locals are directly benefiting from the tourism money their site is bringing in. You can argue until the cows come home if this is a good or a bad thing – in the case of Wae Rebo, I personally am on the local’s side. Although it’s annoying to HAVE to book a local guide since there’s no reason you need a guide in the first place the path is a straight shot to the village + you’re already paying an entrance fee once you get there. At the end of the day, it’s only 200-300K IDR, it’s not the end of the world, and these people are born into circumstances with very limited opportunities and need the tourism dollars to survive. Wae Rebo from above How The Wae Rebo Tourism Mafia Operates I went to Wae Rebo with a few local friends who grew up in Flores and sometimes worked as tour guides. They agreed to take us to Wae Rebo as friends, but said that they usually don’t take tourists there – the reason being because they disagreed with the way the village was operated. Wae Rebo’s tourism operates as a “tourism mafia”, meaning, in addition to official rules like entrance fees, there are unofficial rules that need to be followed – like needing to use a truly local tour guide. Most Westerners balk at using a tour guide for an easy trek like the walk to Wae Rebo, after all, it’s a straight shot upwards on one path. But the truth is, the required local guide for the Wae Rebo trek is more for the local tourism economy than the traveler’s safety. Traditional huts at Wae Rebo If a traveler refuses the help of a local guide, the tourism mafia may use intimidation or retaliation to get them to comply. In the case of Wae Rebo, the start of the trek is in a remote location. You need to park your scooter or motorbike at the trailhead, there’s no public transportation that goes all the way there. My local friend said that if a traveler refuses the local guide, the locals might slash their tires while they’re at Wae Rebo. When they come back from visiting the traditional village, they’re stranded at the trailhead with slashed tires. There’s nothing around that location for miles, and remember, there’s no cell signal at Wae Rebo, so the traveler will now be at the mercy of the locals whose services they refused the day before. The locals will charge the traveler for transportation and fixing their bike, at whatever rate they deem fair. Either way, the Wae Rebo/Ruteng locals are getting paid one way or another. Many sites in Indonesia are run like this, and I’ve actually written about the infamous “taxi mafia” in Bali that operates on the same theme. Basically, locals are fiercely protective of their tourism dollars, even if that leads to a worse experience for the tourist bringing in money in the first place, and hurts their reputation as a popular travel destination in the long run. Is it frustrating? Yes. Can you really blame the locals for it? No. 👉 Do Know that although it’s called a “mafia” I have never heard of a story of there being violence done against a tourist. Tourism Mafias are mostly just small scams and intimidation. 💡 Tip! The easiest way to avoid the “Tourism Mafia” at Wae Rebo is to travel with a tour company that will arrange everything beforehand. How Much Does It Cost To Visit Wae Rebo? The official entrance fee to Wae Rebo Traditional Village is 350,000 IDR $25, + the 100K for the “Welcome Ceremony” and bribe for the watchman = 450k IDR $30 total. In addition to those fees, we had to pay another 300K $20 for the 2-day scooter rental. We had the worst scooters ever for this drive – mine was at least 10 years old. The brakes on my bike barely worked, and more terrifyingly the side mirror was loose so it couldn’t be used at all. Even though we had a local from Flores arranging our scooter rentals for us, pretty much no one wanted to rent a good scooter for the drive to Wae Rebo because of the wear and tear you put on a bike for that trip. The first half we were going over proper paved roads, but the second half was loose gravel and giant stones. One KM of driving took as much as a half hour of driving towards the end, the roads were in such poor condition. We spent about another 100K on gas for the round trip and also stopped for lunch two times which would be included if you took a tour for roughly another 100K. Wild Robusta coffee beans growing at Wae Rebo. 💸 Total Costs To Visit Wae Rebo 💸 💸 Total Cost To Do Wae Rebo Self-Guided Driving Yourself = 900K IDR $60 🚗 Total Cost To Do An Organized Tour With A Driver = $150 – $500 per person, depending on the size of your party and tour service used. 🚌 Total Cost To Take The Bus To Ruteng = 450K Entrance fees & mandatory donations, 200K mandatory guide, 200K each way for bus, + 100K each way for scooter taxi + lunches = Million IDR $80. 💡 Note! Know that these prices are just rough estimates based on my personal experience and do not include emergencies such as having to spend an extra night in Ruteng, travel insurance, etc. Also know that prices such as entrance fees and bus fares change all the time in Indonesia! About The Hike To Wae Rebo Village I was actually stressing about the hike to Wae Rebo because it had been described to me as a 3-hour straight upwards hike, and we reached the starting point of the hike late in the day. Luckily for us, the difficulty level of the hike up to Wae Rebo was greatly exaggerated. Only the first half hour of the hike is a steep upward climb, after that, it gradually levels off. All in all, the entire trek took us around hours, but the length and difficulty of the hike for you will depend on your fitness level. 💡 Tip Pack lightly! Unless you hire a local porter you’re going to have to trek up to Wae Rebo with your overnight bag of whatever you bring. Even though I was planning to write this blog post, I left my big camera at home because I didn’t want to trek up the mountain with it! RELATED ARTICLE 🏝 15 Best Things To Do In Flores My Experience At Wae Rebo Traditional Village Overall, my experience at Wae Rebo was a positive one – but that was because of the gorgeous scenery, and the adventurous time we had reaching the village, rather than any sort of cultural experience. How were we treated once we were at the village? Well, that was bad. Kinda comically bad if I’m being honest. Right from the entrance my local “guide” he was local to Flores, not necessarily Ruteng, so we had to bribe our way in, was like “Quick!!! Give me 50K IDR”. We complied and he walked up to the guy sitting watch at the entrance to the village and slipped him the three 50K IDR bills around $10 US, in a handshake bribe. This bribe wound up being needed because we didn’t have a TRULY “local” guide our friend was from Labuan Bajo, Flores – not Ruteng. We only made it past the tourism mafia because we went very late in the day. I was confused because we were already paying the pretty high, for rural Indonesia 350K IDR $25 entrance fee for the village, but it was just of several ways we were going to be nickel-and-dimed on our trip! The village elder gave us a welcome at Wae Rebo About The “Welcome Ritual” This was the funniest part of our trip – We got to the village later than everyone who took a real tour and we missed the “Welcome Ceremony”. Everyone we talked to made a big fuss about us missing the Welcome Ceremony, and said they were going to put on a second one, just for us. I thought, “Well that’s just the sweetest thing! They’re gonna put on a special ceremony just for us!” The title “Welcome Ceremony” summoned to my mind something like a performance, or a ritual – In reality, the “ceremony” was just us paying another 50K IDR each 😂 No wonder they were so fussed we missed it!!! The Welcome Ceremony was us sitting in front of one of the village elders while he officially welcomed and blessed us, and in return we each handed him 50K IDR $ Not a large sum of money, but it’s not optional – no one is allowed to enter the village without being “blessed” and paying for it!. Lots of cute dogs in the village! Our Welcome Ceremony was kind of comical. In our party, we were three travelers from different countries; an Indonesian our friend who was acting as our guide, a French person, and me, an American. Part of the “Ritual” is the village elder welcoming you by your country. The village elder decided for himself that I was from Mexico ??? which was just so freaking funny and random after 6 hours on a scooter and a two-hour hike. The Village Elder’s welcoming went like this Elder “We welcome you, travelers, my brothers and sisters from Indonesia, France, and Mexico” My friend interrupts him “Sorry, United States”. Elder “Ah yes, Indonesia, France, United States, and Mexico“. There was no swaying him! He had decided at least one of us was from Mexico. We couldn’t keep it together and pitched into a giggle-fit during our “Welcome Ceremony”, so it’s a good thing it only lasted two minutes! Dinner was really good! What We Ate The tourists were served separately from the villagers in the two conical houses set aside for their use on long mats, family style. We had boiled eggs, sambal Indonesian chili paste, greens, chips, and bananas. It was very tasty, and perfect after a long day! At meal times the villagers would set the table for the visitors but then left to eat separately. This little guy was the only local who hung out with us – lol For a homestay experience, I thought this was really odd that no one from the village was eating with us. Other traditional village homestays I’ve done in the past, for example on Lake Titicaca in Peru, you actually join a family for their meals. But at Wae Rebo, mealtimes and in truth, for the entirety of our trip the visitors were kept separate from the locals. I was also told after by my friend who is a Flores local that the food we were served eggs, rice, sambal, banana, while Indonesian, wasn’t specifically traditional dishes for the Wae Rebo people – They were just trying to feed the tourists coming to their homestay as cheaply as possible 😂. Meals are eaten family-style. The Vibe One of the coolest things about the trip to Wae Rebo is you’re all sleeping, eating, and hanging out in one communal room with the other travelers. So, while there wasn’t really any socializing with the actual villagers of Wae Rebo, we hung out with other travelers from Jakarta, Flores, Italy, and the Netherlands. Someone brought out some Arak Indonesian Moonshine that they had trekked up to Wae Rebo with them, and people stayed up all night chit-chatting and drinking. After a looooong day of driving and hiking, I was in bed by 10 PM, but it was a great experience to socialize with other travelers from all over the world regardless of language barriers. Beds are grouped in clusters, so families and travel groups all slept together. Where We Slept We all slept surprisingly well! Maybe it was from the long day of travel + hiking the day before, the refreshing mountain air in the village, or just the Arak Indonesian moonshine from the night before, but I was completely conked out from 10 PM to 6 AM when we were woken up for sunrise. There are two traditional huts devoted to housing the tourists in the village, and each one sleeps up to 30 people. The bunks are squished together with no space in between, but there was only one other group in our cabin when we went so we had tons of room to spread out. A chart details where the tourism money from Wae Rebo goes to. Tips For Visiting Wae Rebo ✅ Know that there is no cell service in and around the village goes without saying, but there’s also no wifi! ✅ Bring Cash! Even if you’re taking an all-inclusive guided tour, you will need it to pay for the “Welcome Ceremony” fee, or if you want to buy any souvenirs. ✅ Know that while there are bathrooms at Wae Rebo, they are very limited – I recommend bringing wet wipes and hand sanitizer! 💡 BEST HIKING/CAMPING SANITARY TIP! If you put hand sanitizer on a wet wipe and use that under your armpits, it will kill the bacteria that cause stink. I’ve used this sooo many times camping in random places. ✅ Bring good shoes! While the trek to Wae Rebo is fairly easy, you still will want solid close-toed shoes for the hike up. ✅ Cover your legs! There are LEECHES on the path to Wae Rebo, I wasn’t bit by one but our friend who was in sandals was. ✅ Get Travel Insurance – You need this for Indonesia in general, but if you’re traveling the highlands of Flores you definitely need traveler’s insurance!!!!! ✅ Take motion sickness pills – For the incredibly bumpy drive there. ✅ Bring bug spray – It’s quite buggy on the way up. Once we were actually in the village the air was cool, and the bugs weren’t a big issue. ✅ Know it’s COLD in the village at night! – Wae Rebo is pretty high up, and it was chilly especially by Indonesian standards, at night. ✅ Leave Early! People typically set out to go to Wae Rebo around 7 AM – we didn’t leave until 11 AM and missed the sunset, it’s a looooong drive. ✅ Bring A Portable Power Bank – When we went there were electricity and charging ports available, but some other travelers reported power outages during their tour. ✅ TAKE A TOUR! Unless you make friends with someone from in/around Wae Rebo village that can act as your guide or are okay with hiring a random person on-site, you need to take a tour to Wae Rebo in order to not fall victim to their tourism mafia. 👉 Check Out The Tour I Recommend Here! The group of travelers we met visiting Wae Rebo! Is Wae Rebo Worth Visiting? For me, yes, 100%. I’m always honest on this blog, so I’m not going to just say that it’s the best place in the world and perfect for everyone to add to their Indonesia travel itinerary. While Wae Rebo Village is an unfortunate victim of tourism sucking the life and soul out of a place, it’s also one of those fairy-tale locations that I truly cannot believe exists in the real world – let alone a spot I’ve been lucky enough to visit in person! Wae Rebo actually looks like the amazing photos you see of it on Instagram, and that’s both a good and a bad thing. Lots of tourists are just there for the photo opportunity, and in fact – besides the opportunity to socialize with fellow travelers – that’s really all Wae Rebo is. Other traditional village homestays I’ve been to in the past focused on cultural experiences showing travelers the way of life in these villages, and how they ate, lived, dressed, and celebrated. Wae Rebo really doesn’t do much of that. The only time the villagers interacted with the tourists was when they were trying to sell us things; which were mainly woven bracelets and coffee. In part, the lack of representation of the traditional lifestyle at Wae Rebo is because not many people live in the ultra-photogenic traditional huts anymore. There are seven traditional huts in the village, and at least three of them from what we saw are occupied by tourism. RELATED ARTICLE 🚢 ULTIMATE Guide To Komodo Island Boat Tour Who Should Visit Wae Rebo? 👉 If you’re finishing or starting your Komodo Islands Boat Tour in Labuan Bajo, visiting Wae Rebo is a fantastic way to continue exploring Flores Island. I 100% recommend everyone do this! You’re already in Flores, and unless you have an incredibly jam-packed travel itinerary, why not? Do I think Wae Rebo Traditional Village is worth the flight from Bali on its own? Nope! It’s an amazing spot, but getting to Flores from Bali is quite tricky, so Wae Rebo is only really worth it if you’re doing other activities on Flores; like visiting Kelimutu National Park or taking a Komodo Islands Boat Tour. Labuan Bajo Guide Labuan Bajo is a sleepy port city, but it’s a great break from the hustle of larger cities in Bali – plus there’s a ton to do from sailing Komodo to exploring the island of Flores overland. I was supposed to stay in Labuan Bajo for two days after my first Komodo Boat Tour ended, but I wound up staying a whole month because I fell in love with the town and the island of Flores!

The best hotel in Labuan Bajo is Loccal Collection, but if you’re on a budget Seaesta Hotel & Hostel is also amazing! Fresh fish is caught daily & grilled to order at the Labuan Bajo fish market. Where To Eat In Labuan Bajo After a lot of trial and error, my favorite cafe in Labuan Bajo is Bacarita Cafe. It’s in the center of town, kind of hidden above the Starbucks. They do great coffee, western, and Indonesian food, there’s wifi, and the prices are really good! I also loved eating at the Labuan Bajo fish market come nightfall. Lots of fish vendors line up their stalls and you order whole fish, which they then grill or fry fresh to order and serve with rice and sambal. My favorite was the grilled squid! Other Activities In Labuan Bajo & Flores I was in Flores for over a month and here are some other amazing activities I did while in and around Labuan Bajo Take A Komodo Islands Boat Tour Taking a multi-day cruise of the magical Komodo Islands is the main thing to do in Labuan Bajo, and the whole town has been built around the tourism Komodo Boat Tours bring in. I loved the first cruise I took to the Komodo National Park that I did it a second time during my month in Labuan Bajo. ▶ Click Here to Book Your Komodo Islands Cruise! It’s Cheaper Than You Think! Rangko Cave Visit Rangko Cave Rangko Cave is a half hour outside of the town of Labuan Bajo and a very memorable experience. It’s a salt-water cave so you can float without effort, which made me love it even more than the Cenote caves I swam in Mexico. Rangko Cave has crystal-clear blue water you can swim in, and the only way to get there is by taking a tiny boat from mainland Flores so you do need a tour to visit. ▶ Click Here to Book a Tour of Rangko Cave! 💡Tip In the afternoon, the sun aligns with Rangko Cave to light it up naturally from within. Amazing, right? wellllllll, that’s what everyone else thinks too! We got there at 10 AM and even though it was kinda dark we had the cave all to ourselves until 11 AM when the other tourists started flooding in and the small cave quickly felt crowded. Take A Sunset Tour to See The Famous Kalong Bats Watching the sunset bat migration out of Kalong Island from our boat tour in Komodo National Park is one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had in Indonesia, and I’ve done some crazy things here! ▶ Click Here to Book a Sunset Boat Tour of Kalong Island! Cunca Wulang Waterfall RELATED ARTICLE 🥾 Complete Guide To Cunca Wulang Waterfall Visit Cunca Wulang Waterfall Full disclosure – Cunca Wulang is the most unhinged waterfall I’ve visited in Indonesia. You need to hike for around 20 minutes to a rope bridge which is kinda falling apart, but the reward is a gorgeous waterfall with a natural pool you can swim in! I think Cunca Wulang’s infrastructure suffered during the pandemic, and it wasn’t really kept up with – but if you’re into an adventure, the reward at the end of the path is a truly gorgeous waterfall with a natural pool you can swim in! ▶ Click Here to Book a Private Tour That Includes a Trip to Cunca Wulang Waterfall! Wae Rebo Traditional Village Wae Rebo Traditional Village Conclusion I hope you enjoyed this guide to visiting Wae Rebo Traditional Village in Indonesia as much as I enjoyed writing it! Just to recap, Wae Rebo is typically visited by 2-day/1-night tours from Labuan Bajo, due to the long travel distance to reach the village. I recommend leaving as early in the day as possible, so you’ll have daylight hours to take in the amazing scenery! I think Wae Rebo Traditional Village is best visited in addition to a Komodo National Park Boat Tour, or a longer tour that includes Kelimutu National Park and/or Bajawa Traditional Villages. While Wae Rebo is an amazing spot that makes a fantastic addition to any Flores Itinerary, I don’t think it’s worth the flight from Bali just to visit the village alone! I hope you have an amazing time visiting Wae Rebo! -Katie Looking for more information on Indonesia? I fell in love with Indonesia in 2019 and I’ve been traveling back ever since!

The seven circular cone shaped Mbaru Niang houses of Wae Rebo are built in a semi circle on a flat plain in a valley. The settlement is surrounded on all sides by rolling hills set against a backdrop of taller peaks that rise up into the sky. It’s a picturesque setting. Flores is a culturally diverse island. There are six local languages spoken on Flores. Wae Rebo is a village of the Manggarai tribe. The tribe is settled in the provinces of West Manggarai Regency, Manggarai Regency and East Manggarai Regency in the West of Flores. Within Flores the Manggarai are well known for their traditional martial art, called Caci. Demonstrations of Caci are held around the port town of Labuan Bajo and are a popular tourist attraction. Yet if you really want to experience Manggarai culture, and go on an adventure, you should visit Wae Rebo. History of the Village According to oral tradition Wae Rebo was settled 18 generations ago. An elder from the community had a vision. He led his tribe into the highlands of Flores where they settled under the protection of a friendly spirit. Construction of one of the Mbaru Nang houses, Wae Rebo. Image from In 1997 the local government took the first steps in supporting the development of Wae Rebo as a tourism destination.

Wae Rebo is a lot of fun to visit and different than many of the cultural villages’ that you can visit around Indonesia. And many countries in South East Asia… View of the village of Wae Rebo from above. One of the nice things about the village is just how isolated it is. It’s a 28 km hike through thick rainforest to Denge, the nearest village. At the moment the only way you can visit is if you stay overnight. The isolation limits the number of tourists that come to Wae Rebo. It makes the trip more about the experience. During the day you can explore the valley, interact with the villagers and your travel companions or just read a book. It’s really up to you. At night the sky is filled with stars, which makes it a great spot for night photography. And you’ll get to sleep in one of the Mbaru Niang houses. Cross section of an Mbaru Nang house. Image from The Mbaru Niang houses, translated as drum houses,’ are communal buildings. Built around a central pole with supporting bamboo beams and thatched roofs they’re enormous buildings. The houses are 5 stories high and can host up to 8 families, their crops and food. Getting to Wae Rebo For the moment Wae Rebo is bit difficult to get to. Denge, the nearest village, is a 3-hour drive from Labuan Bajo. Public transport is almost non-existent. You can make the trip by truck or boat, but realistically you’ll need to make the trip by car or motorbike. Then when you arrive at Denge you’ll need to find a guide to take you to the village. Located in a valley surrounded by hills the setting is picturesque. Most travellers who visit the village join a group tour. The most popular package leaving from Labuan Bajo is the Wae Rebo 3 Day 2 Night Tour. It’s done in stages. On the first day you go to Denge via the spider web rice fields of Cancar. The next day you hike to Wae Rebo where you’ll spend the night. Then the third day you go back to Labuan Bajo. Final Thoughts Wae Rebo is one of the few cultural sites in Flores that really fascinates me. The unique architecture of the buildings and the beautiful setting and the fact you have to stay the night make Wae Rebo an adventure to visit. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re a nature lover!

Since I'll travel alone, it is so difficult to find open tour to Ende, I'm thinking of using local bus, which I am also facing difficulties finding information on this. 1st day Arrival. looking for the 2D1N slow boat open trip to komodo, rinca, etc and buy the ticket to Ruteng 2nd-3rd day 2D1N tour 4th-7th day Hopefully Ruteng/Bena village/Wae Rebo/Kelimutu 8th day Back to Jakarta and leave As 4-7th day would be a bit of rush, I'm trying to do anything I can prepare in advance. Would you please let me know how can I book online or which local place to buy the ticket? Also how much the reasonable price for slow boat for 2D1N?

Re How to get to Ruteng from Labuan Bajo / Wae Rebo from Ruteng Jul 4, 2022, 224 AM As with many things in Indonesia, situations/new companies/new regulations etc can change in a short while. It's better to play it by ear and see what is avaialble when you arrive...Personally I always hire a private car and driver, not the cheapest option but for me the best... You can talk to the driver who will have the local knowledge, connections, know when and where to go, and can go on your timetabble and make stops or not when ever you want. As your trip is really rushed I'm assuming you are flying back to Jakarta from Ende? Flghts can be cancelled and delays are common, so make sure you have enough cushion built into your trip.
