Exploring Flores (Indonesia) by public transport | Part 1: From Labuan Bajo to Riung

Most people go to Flores to snorkel, dive and see the famous Komodo dragons in Komodo National Park... not us! We decided to to explore the rest of the island instead. Still relatively new to tourism, Flores is the perfect Indonesian island to enjoy some more local and authentic experiences, while visiting beautiful places. In this first episode in our 3-part series on Flores, we visit some hidden spots in Labuan Bajo, stay with a local family in Ruteng, spend some (unfortunately) wet days in Bajawa and enjoy beautiful snorkelling in the 17 Islands Marine Park.
