Why choose this tour
Few visitors to Flores make it to Nuca Molas. On the quiet south coast, green savanna hills rise to a sharp peak above white-sand beaches and clear water, with almost no other tourists around.
We leave Labuan Bajo between 07:30 and 08:30 and drive about four to five hours to Dintor village, where lunch is served at Waerebo Lodge. A local boat then takes guests to Nuca Molas in 40 minutes to an hour, stopping for photos of the peak from the water.
The first stop is Lowok Beach, then the lighthouse and the savanna, and finally Labuan Taur Beach. The boat returns to Dintor for dinner at a local restaurant before the drive back to Labuan Bajo.
