Wae Rebo Cultural & Nature Adventure Tour Package

Discover the Heart of Flores’ Mountain Culture in the Village Above the Clouds

The Wae Rebo Cultural and Nature Adventure Tour Package from Komodo Padar Tour offers a truly unique journey into one of Indonesia’s most extraordinary cultural destinations — Wae Rebo Village, tucked high in the mountains of Flores Island. This tour combines scenic drives, jungle trekking, traditional village life, and breathtaking natural landscapes in an immersive 2‑day experience.

🌄 Tour Introduction

Wae Rebo — also spelled Waerebo — is a remote traditional village located at about 1,200 meters above sea level in the Manggarai highlands, celebrated for its iconic cone‑shaped Mbaru Niang houses and authentic community life. These houses represent the ancient Manggarai architectural and cultural tradition, recognized with cultural conservation awards for preserving indigenous heritage.

This tour lets you unplug from everyday life, trek through lush forest trails, and fully immerse yourself in the daily rhythms of a village untouched by modern distractions.
